PUMA Men's Softride Rift Running Shoes - Lightweight Cushioned Sneakers for Jogging, Gym & Everyday Wear | Breathable Comfort for Road & Trail Running

These Puma sneakers are great. They have the softride soles that are very soft flexible foam rubber. The insole is thin but is a comfy foam as well. The front toe area is a netted breathable material that allows air to enter to keep your feet cool. The sneaker is very light weight and has a design where the sneaker itself and the tongue are not separate, they are one together that really helps conform to the top of your foot. I will note that the tongue is not thickly padded like most sneakers but the thin light weight feel of the entire sneaker is great. The majority of the sneaker exterior feels alot like neoprene, really nice. It feels like I'm wearing slippers and not sneakers due to the comfort and weight. I bought these for work since I stand all day on my feet on concrete. The softride foam rubber soles are a game changer for me. I feel the sole squish down as I step, not jarring my heel and then it releases as you step forwards off your heel it pushing your foot back up, helping to spring your foot forwards. It makes both walking and standing much better for long term senarios. I'm not sure how to rate the sneaker for running as I do not run in these. But for standing and walking on concrete these will change your life. I do have to add that they look really nice too. Pretty sporty and not boring looking. All black with the bold white Puma lettering. The all black sneaker and sole heel hide any dirt I might pick up in the work area. I will buy these again when these wear out. If they were to only last 6 months I'd be fine with that because it's hard to find sneakers this comfortable. I would recommend these to anyone looking for comfortable sneakers to help when standing or walking on hard surfaces for long periods.
