I ordered these Puma Pumagility Cross-training shoes for a friend who had been complaining about her feet hurting after a workout. My initial observation of them was that they appeared to be well-constructed and fairly light weight. After my friend wore them to the gym a few times, she said that they were very comfortable, particularly in the area of the heel, which is where she had been having trouble. The shoes fit well, with plenty of toe room. She also said that the shoes were quite nicely balanced, giving a sense of stability which enhanced her workout routine. Over all, these shoes were a great help to her and have made her workouts more enjoyable and productive.
