PUMA Unisex Smash V2Running Shoes

Marketed as trainers for running is the only negative comment I can make against this product; they are not suitable for serious running. As a casual trainer for either social or light exercise they are very good and exceptionally good value at less than £27!Carrying the Puma logo, the trainers look good in casual wear and I would suggest more suited for this type of dress than more expensive items, particularly for the older wearer such as me. Comfortable, a nice fit, I anticipate that these shoes will be ideal for social wear throughout the summer. Manufactured to a decent standard, they fit well.I am sure that you could run in them, however, there are better products than this for running with better grip, impact absorption and ankle support.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Comfortable, stylish, and lightweight! These Puma unisex shoes are perfect for everyday wear. Great fit and breathable material make them ideal for walking or casual outings. The design works well for both men and women. Love the classic sporty look, goes with everything!

clean look, comfy straight out the box. goes with pretty much anything. not loads of padding but fine for day to day wear. sizing's true, maybe a little snug at first but breaks in quick. solid for the price, not flashy just a decent casual trainer.

Perfect fit, really comfortable, definitely well worth the money.

Great value and extremely comfortable footwear!! So pleased with this purchase. Recommended

For reference I'm usually a UK size 9 in trainers and sometimes 10 in boots. Have almost exclusively worn converse star players and the standard all star ox canvas for the last 10 years. I was surprised to wear a trainer that looked this large in comparison. But they fit pretty well and look great. Haven't broken them in yet so the toe box feels quite roomy at the moment and the leather upper is still stiff. I'm sure once I've creased them up in a month or so they'll feel softer and look better - not too keen on new looking trainers myself - prefer them a little worn in. I haven't got wide feet but I might try an 8.5. These will be my go to trainers for work. There's about 1cm of room in front of my big toe and plenty of wiggle room for all the others.

Comfortable at first, then after a week of wear the fabric on the inside of the "wall" starts to bubble into hard little balls of fabric that make wearing them uncomfortable and painful at times. You can scrape them out, but they return a day or so later.

This is my second pair of Puma Smash V2's purchased as I'm planning on doing more walking this year and the comfort and fit of these Trainers is perfect for me.They run true to size, as other have mentioned in reviews, at first they can feel a tiny bit tight but thats because they are still box fresh and need wearing in so that they take on the shape of your foot.Once you've worn them a few times they become as comfortable as slippers.For the price they are exceptional value, I've owned far more expensive trainers before and found that they don't always live up to the reality of repeated wear, these trainers do, and I like that the memory foam insert is removable and replaceable which really extends the life of the Trainers.Nice range of colour ways as well.
