I've owned one other Puma brand shoe that I paid similarly for in the store. I decided to go with this one as it was the same price, but obviously I don't pay for anything other than the cost of the item like I do in the store, making this a bit cheaper than the in-store option.

The shoes look great. They're a leather or faux leather material, and visually you can tell this. My previous Puma's had a mesh-type front. Because of this difference, these are a bit inflexible and not nearly as comfortable as my previous shoes. The plus side to this is they're easier to clean, and a bit warmer on the foot in colder climates.

I bought these as an alternative to dress shoes. They're a bit more colorful than a normal dress shoe, but even with the above issues they are still much more comfy than dress shoes. They're pretty darned stylish looking, too! I have received many positive comments since I've start wearing them :) All in all I still wish they had the mesh toes like my previous Puma's, but they still are pretty good shoes.
