I purchased these as I have wanted a pair of Puma sport shoes for a work out class and walking. They are light weight which is what I was looking for and they are also designed nicely and sleek. The down side is that they have little support and are not really comfortable at all. They rub on the heel and don't fit well. I am a ture 8.5 and rarely have issues with casual shoes. I was very disapointed and did return them.
