I bought a Puma Velcro Sneaker back in 2001 at Nordstrom Rack for 60.00 and had it for 12 years and wore out the sole down to the plastic. Never found a Puma with velcro anywhere here in Hawaii so i decided to look on Amazon. The shoe fit perfect when i received it. Its well built Sole looks like it will last along time. Shoe feels good wearing it and velcro works well and looks like it will last a long time. Might look into their running shoes with the velcro. I would recommend this velcro shoe for casual and walking shoe.
