Been a long time Adidas fan and knowing the history of the two companies, I decided it was time to try a puma. Overall this is a really great shoe, and it was a fantastic bargain here on Amazon. I live overseas where the shoe sizes stop at a U.S. size 10 so this was actually my only option. I have to say I really like the styling of these shoes. They're just cool and the color came EXACTLY as pictured. I am still a bigger fan of Adidas styling though.These shoes are amazingly light. Maybe the lightest shoe I've ever had. Compared to the Adidas Gazelle or Samba, these shoes have a stiffer mid-sole which, as a larger guy, I prefer. There is not much arch support, but it is there. I'm usually between an 11-1/2 to 12 and the 12 fit perfectly. I would not have wanted a half size down. I wouldn't say the fit is narrow, but it is fairly tightly formed around the top and sides of my foot. It feels a lot like a cowboy boot and is already comfortable, but I expect that the leather will stretch pretty soon giving a more relaxed fit. Even if they just hold up reasonable well, this will be my go to shoe in the future for styling, comfort and price.
