2002R 'Protection Pack - Purple'

Reviewer A MORI

I'm tough on shoes. I bought these just as some knock arounds for my automotive shop and they have ended up being the longest lasting, most durable shoes I have ever had.
I have used these when welding and have had them grinding on the concrete when I am under a car for a straight year and they have maintained.
The sole lasted much longer than most shoes (I've gone through Tland boots in less than 4 months) and they are still holding together a year later.
The sole has finally become worn to the point where the sides sort of mushroom out but they have not worn through and the uppers are still perfect with zero show or wear.
I'm hoping the all black comes available again and I will order another pair.

I bought for my brother and he really liked the design. It is important to note that the Heel of the shoe makes the shoe appear to be a bit longer than it is. The heel is also slightly elevated. My brother is normally a 10 so that’s what we went with but it was tight slightly so we returned and decided to go up a whole size. Even with the size mixup, my brother was very happy with the shoe and style.

The last pair of PUMA's I owned was about 30 years ago. At the time, they seemed cheap and I didn't like them.

Fast forward to today and I like the way PUMA's look. I've been wanting these for a while and found them on sale recently. I'm glad I did.

I haven't the slightest idea how well these will wear, but I strongly disagree with those who say that they're uncomfortable. Believe me when I say that, because I'm all about comfort and I know how hard it can be to find comfortable shoes, that are still affordable, today. They're not a running shoe with a squishy sole, but they're still one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes that I own. The sole has far more cushion than a pair of Adidas Sambas I own, which I find extremely uncomfortable.

Of course they look nice too, but I'll wrap this up by describing the fit. They probably do run slightly narrow and short, but I think some of the reviews exaggerate how much. They're bigger than many shoes I own, including my Sambas. In fact, I'm between sizes and have no problem with the smaller size. The arch support doesn't seem like much, but it's more than adequate, because they're so comfortable. The cushioned soles do their part in the comfort of the shoe, too.

Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe and will probably be buying more pairs in the future.

Surprised that I like these steel toed shoes. I work on concrete floors and my feet never hurt at the end of the day and I don't feel the steel toes.

Reviewer Sailor Sam

i've owned three pairs now, and i was able to get a little over 350mi out of each pair, i think. I generally like the cushioned running shoes, even though i don't log as many miles weekly as i used to (collegiately and post, about 60-70mi). nowadays i run several times per week and mostly cycle, but these shoes held up well to sporadic use, were comfy on the occasional half-marathon, and wore as well in the rain as in the shine.

Reviewer J C Schenk

Very comfortable shoes. They seem to get more comfortable each time you wear them. Only issue is that you will need socks that cover your heel as the back of the shoe will rub it raw.

Reviewer Mary Kutheis
