Adidas Handball Spezial WMNS Cream White / Powder Coral CDB1473

Reviewer Norrie

I ordered another pair and there doesn't seem to be any improvement with the tag. They came with 2 pairs of laces, in different colors, but one pair is very wide, unfortunately. I'm not a fan of super-wide laces, but they at least had the good sense to make the more narrow pair, the more difficult color to obtain. The super-wide pair is white, which can easily be replaced anywhere you can find laces.

I see many comments on the sizing being small, but I don't know that I agree. They may be just slightly narrow, but I wear the same size as I do with Nike athletic shoes. In contrast, I have to size up with New Balance shoes. Since dress shoes run larger then athletic shoes, they're obviously smaller then most dress shoes.

The last pair of PUMA's I owned was about 30 years ago. At the time, they seemed cheap and I didn't like them.

Fast forward to today and I like the way PUMA's look. I've been wanting these for a while and found them on sale recently. I'm glad I did.

I haven't the slightest idea how well these will wear, but I strongly disagree with those who say that they're uncomfortable. Believe me when I say that, because I'm all about comfort and I know how hard it can be to find comfortable shoes, that are still affordable, today. They're not a running shoe with a squishy sole, but they're still one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes that I own. The sole has far more cushion than a pair of Adidas Sambas I own, which I find extremely uncomfortable.

Of course they look nice too, but I'll wrap this up by describing the fit. They probably do run slightly narrow and short, but I think some of the reviews exaggerate how much. They're bigger than many shoes I own, including my Sambas. In fact, I'm between sizes and have no problem with the smaller size. The arch support doesn't seem like much, but it's more than adequate, because they're so comfortable. The cushioned soles do their part in the comfort of the shoe, too.

Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe and will probably be buying more pairs in the future.

I got these light-up shoes for my husband to wear with a loud suit. They look fun!

good fit, comfortable enough to wear all day

Reviewer Mike Gagnon

I'm very pleased with these shoes. They fit perfectly -- they are a true size 11 -- which is not a common situation these days. The medium width is also accurate.

The build quality is very good. It feels very well put together, with the edge and sole well attached, and good quality stitching throughout. The end of the tongue and the interior edge is lined with an man-made "leather" that looks and feels high quality. The canvas body is sturdy. Even the shoelaces are of good quality.

The overall look is nice. It's unusual, with a blue leaf-type pattern and a solid gray, but it works in terms of looks. It's not flashy, but it has more visual appeal than the usual monotone color scheme.

There's enough padding in the insole to make these comfortable for walking, but it could do with a bit more for extra comfort.

All in all, a mostly comfortable, nice looking, well-made pair of sneakers.

$13 for a pair of good sneakers, plus I wear a size 13 and the price stay the same, as you know many times when the size increases so does the price

came fast and as shown

These shoes look like a cross between sneakers and loafers. The entire top is leather. The bottom is rubber for safety. The shoes look great and are still a tie up, but more like the loafer ties. The bottom and the red logo on the side gives them the sneaker look. They fit nicely and they are different. In a world of teens who want to be different but still the same (no wonder they are conflicted), these give them a look that works in either world.

True to size, and comfy. Love them

2nd time buying these shoes. I'm an automotive tech and I'm always on my feet and in slippery situations. These shoes grip well and the soles are very comfortable, way better than work boots. Shoes hold up quite well within reason.
