These shoes are fantastic for the price I paid here on amazon which was $32. I never owned a pair of PUMA shoes until recently and now I own several pairs. These Comp Star sneakers are roomy all around the foot yet snug at the ankle. Meanwhile they're easy to slip on and off if you're one of those people that like to keep shoes tied permanently to save time. As far as I can tell they don't easily trap dirt on the bottom. They breathe pretty well and I forgot to mention that they look really sharp! (I own the dark navy ones).
