Adidas Handball Spezial WMNS Cream White / Powder Coral CDB1473

Reviewer Bevan B Phillips

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.

real and soft.

Great fit. Great shoe. Wear it every day in my mostly standing job.

Reviewer Janet Cochrane

some canvas and a big slab of rubber for the sole. Mostly comfortable, but nothing great. No arch support. It's a lot like walking barefoot, which is why I like them. Be sure to order a size smaller; I wear 12's in most all shoes but had to go with 11's here.

Reviewer Carmen J Fernandez

I like the look and feel of these shoes. Very simple and low, comfortable basic sneakers. They look good, even though there is so much rubber on the sides. The fit is perfect in my experience. I usually take a 13 in sneakers and often a 12 in boots, but with some sneakers I have to worry about the width - not a problem here. These fit right, don't cramp, but also don't leave my heel lifting in the back.

The prices are all over the place depending on the size you get, but these seem like a steal when your size happens to be on the inexpensive end of that scale.

Reviewer Tiffany Mcgaughey

These remind me a lot of sneakers I had been wearing most of my life, except they have the added wall of rubber around the bottom. In this case, the tan goes very well with the green, so I don't mind it at all.

I usually wear a 13 in sneakers or sometimes a 12 in work or hiking boots, and the 13 fits me perfectly. I mean, these shoes feel just a little loose in general, but that's just how you wear them. And they're not a stiff sole, so they're comfortable, but definitely a far cry from some of the hiking shoe crossovers I sometimes wear. Also, the reason I wear a 13 is more because of foot width than anything, and although these look fairly thin, they are not nearly as thin as some sneakers AND the lack of rigidity really makes them comfortably conform to my foot from a width standpoint.

They're definitely more attractive if your size and color choice happens to be the low priced model they keep around for advertising reasons. They look nice, but they're not going to last (looking new) for too many months.

Love these Pumas, would buy many more. They're casual and look slick at the same time.

The last time he was here, he took his shoes off and forgot he had to put them up so the puppy won't eat them. You got it, puppy got the inside heel foam. I got inserts so that he can continue to use his current shoes, but he has these for school, when he goes back.

Reviewer Vincent M Scott

Although I had to go 1 size up. They fit perfect. I love the style and color.

Reviewer Greenlady

I love these shoes! It's hard to find shoes that fit me well based on my foot size but these fit like a charm and feel wonderful!
