These Pumas may not be the most comfortable sneaker out there nowadays, but they bring me back to my childhood. Growing up during my grammar school years, you weren't cool if you didn't have a pair of leather or suede Puma "Clydes". When I saw they were back, I immediately bought them in blue and white suede. As for the shoe itself, I find they run a little small and narrow compared to most modern athletic shoes. Padding and cushioning are at a minimum. The original Pumas were designed as a basketball shoe. Today, these would not be considered a good basketball sneaker. They're best for walking and plain everyday wear. I really like them even if they aren't perfect. Every time I look down at my feet, it takes me back 30+ years.
