I bought these to replace an old pair of Puma Smash SD&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/PUMA-Men-s-Smash-SD-Fashion-Sneaker-Forest-Night-White-9-5-M-US/dp/B01EGVL4J4/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">PUMA Men's Smash SD Fashion Sneaker, Forest Night/White, 9.5 M US</a>. Despite similar appearance and price, these are definitely inferior to the Smash SDs. These lack support and cushioning.  Look at the heel cushioning in the respective product photos; whereas the Smash SD features a generous, soft cloth cushion, this shoe has a thin plasticky strip. This shoe is likewise inferior in arch support and sole cushioning. Do yourself a favor and get the Smash variety instead.
