I'm getting old/lazy. I like the ease and quickness of the straps.
Reviewer Sheryl Crow
Great shoes. True to size and very comfortable. We bought for an 80's costume and now he wears them all the time.
Reviewer Coni Jo
I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert
Reviewer juanita morris
Just a great walking shoe for this old man. Easy on and off, a cushioned sole, and plenty wide. As reviewers stated, they tend to pick up rocks off our driveway.

Puma's are nice shoes that always fit me great. They're also easy to find on sale, which makes them the price/performance king. They look quite nice, as well!
I purchased these to replace some Nike Sweet's that were a little too big for me. I think the Nike Sweet is a nicer shoe (more padding and softer, thicker leather, etc), but they also cost more. These Puma's are tagged the same size as the Nike's, but they run a little smaller (the footprint does appear a little wider, though). I own several pairs of Puma Suede's and these run about the same size as the Suede does.
Even though I think the Nike Sweet is a better made shoe, there's something about these that I just like better. For one, I think they look better and I'm just more comfortable in them. I wore the Sweet regularly as a kid, back when Nike originally released them, so that's why I purchased them first. When they didn't fit, I purchased the Match 74 to replace them and I couldn't be happier with them.

This review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

These are far more comfortable then typical canvas sneakers, but they offer a similar casual look. The sizing is very accurate, so order your normal size, regardless of whether you plan on wearing them with or without socks.
I've seen some reviews mention that they run narrow, but I don't agree. Compared to your typical canvas sneaker, they actually run wide and probably run wide compared to many other sneakers, as well. They have very ample toe room.
Reviewer Isabel Borsoi
My husband loves these shoes and has been wearing a pair for about 2 years. He pronates pretty badly and the old shoes needed replacing because they were losing stability. We ordered this pair knowing he wanted the exact same shoes. They are perfect, with "new shoe" support for his ankles. He loves this shoe because due to Parkinson's he has difficulty tying shoes and wants to be able to step into his shoes. These look and feel like lace-up shoes. He wears them to walk for exercise, but he also wears them to go out running errands etc.
Reviewer T Brettschneider
This shoes are very comfortable and resistance, i bought a second pair. The only complain is that 1 year after the sole began to felt apart.
Reviewer G Sydnor
Shoes look and feel great. I'm very happy with them, though I've already scuffed them up a bit from overuse - that should tell you how often I've been using them! I really enjoy these and I'm glad I got them for the summer. Looking forward to getting them clean and bright for much more use. Thank you very much!
