I've now purchased four pairs of the Puma Speeder, and it probably won't end there. I wear these shoes everywhere: to work, to walk the dog, to casual social events, etc. I get compliments constantly on these shoes. They look great with jeans and are nicer looking than standard "tennis shoes." I work in a laboratory, am typically on my feet for 6+ hours, and these shoes keep my feet from getting too tired. My boss even compliments these shoes!
