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.

I got these shoes to spice up my image a bit at the office, and hey, they’re nice! One remark I’d make is that they are breathable, so what color socks you wear under them makes a small difference. Good time to accessorize!

Comfortable, no need to breaking, look good, wear satisfactorily.

The styling is fine; the fit is as expected. The memory foam bedding is defintely comfortable and as a walking shoe in summer, this is a great option. Best suited for casual wear/walking around town/walking. Though lightweight, its utility as a primary shoe for running/jogging is limited, IMO, nostly due to concerns on how well the foam cushion and stitching can hold up for regular use. Overall, at this price point, a good value for walking/casual sneakers - the "performance sneaker" may still be true, but it will significantly reduce the life of the shoe.

Authentic, and true to size in both width and length. Zero arch support for those over forty. These Vans slay me; the checkerboard style reminds me of high school, 5,000 years ago, and dancing with the Italian Formula One team in Long Beach 4,000 years ago. That's right, I'm having a mid-life crisis and Vans helps assuage my desires.

I really like these shoes, they are very well made. I really like how easy it is to slide on and off, and they look like nicer shoes so I can wear them with business casual clothing. My only complaint that I have with the shoes is the memory foam on the heel compresses as the day goes on, and my heels are very sensitive, so I've added an additional heel support insert. If you are going to be on your feel for a long period of time you may want to consider keeping that in mine. But I would definitely buy these shoes again.

One of the best show I have now. It is very comfortable and also increases the height. I used it to walk a full day in Universal Studios and didn’t feel much pain under my feet.
It is costly, but every penny worth it.

Fantastic shoes. Have never been so happy with a New Balance product.

I love the look of these shoes. I find that the fit is good, but if you are wearing for long periods, I am not sure they are the most comfortable shoes. I use them for a night on the town, but not for working.
