Puma's are nice shoes that always fit me great. They're also easy to find on sale, which makes them the price/performance king. They look quite nice, as well!
I purchased these to replace some Nike Sweet's that were a little too big for me. I think the Nike Sweet is a nicer shoe (more padding and softer, thicker leather, etc), but they also cost more. These Puma's are tagged the same size as the Nike's, but they run a little smaller (the footprint does appear a little wider, though). I own several pairs of Puma Suede's and these run about the same size as the Suede does.
Even though I think the Nike Sweet is a better made shoe, there's something about these that I just like better. For one, I think they look better and I'm just more comfortable in them. I wore the Sweet regularly as a kid, back when Nike originally released them, so that's why I purchased them first. When they didn't fit, I purchased the Match 74 to replace them and I couldn't be happier with them.

These are very nice shoes. They're comfortable and they look nice. I have some other Simple shoes that are similar and I love them too.
The sizing seems true-to-size to me. I normally wear a 10.5-11, and like all of my Simple shoes, I ordered an 11 with these. They fit very well, as expected.
I know one of the criticisms is that they easily fall apart, but that doesn't surprise me. A tag on the shoe claims the outer soles will biodegrade within 20 years, while the outer soles on some other shoes will last 1,000 year. Considering how Simple shoes are made with recycled materials, I never expect them to be very durable shoes.
However, I don't wear the same pair of shoes every day and I don't wear my Simple shoes for outdoor activities. I have several pairs of various Simple models and they're all still holding up well. These may be an athletic style of shoes, but I wouldn't wear them for athletic purposes, not just because they probably wouldn't hold up long, but also because they're probably not the best shoes for that purpose. I guess my point is that while I'm sure they do tear up quickly with frequent wear, I don't wear mine as an everyday shoe, or an athletic shoe, and they seem to be holding up fine.
Overall, I'm very pleased with all of my shoes of this brand. They're all very comfortable and have a nice, somewhat original look about them. My only complaint is that the price tag is often too high, but they're not difficult to find on sale.

I watched my 83 year old husband struggle to put on his shoes and get them laced up. I recalled seeing a shoe that solved this problem. Amazon had it! They have totally saved the day! I ordered a pair for myself, a half size larger as suggested, and am thrilled with them. I had two strokes this year and these shoes are a lifesaver, so very comfortable and give me stability and so perfect in every way.

Reviewer Michelle Arnold
These are very well constructed black leather dress shoes - they don't look cheap at all and the leather and soles are good quality. The buckles have to be undone to make them open up enough to put on. Unfortunately, my husband wears a size 8 (these shoes are size 8), but he can't wear them because they are too tight across the tops of his feet. I think these are better for men with narrow feet. They are quite awesome to look at, and I wish he could wear them but they will have to be re-homed.

At first my hubs felt weird, unsure of step but you just have to wear + get used to the height. The finish can be wiped off w/damp rag as dirt really shows. Soles are thick & well made. Inside is where the additional height comes from. These are comfortable, casual shoes that are going to add some height without looking like yr trying.

$13 for a pair of good sneakers, plus I wear a size 13 and the price stay the same, as you know many times when the size increases so does the price
