I've always been a fan of puma footwear. I bought these for just casual wear, no running, no gym time, just me and my shoes for going to the store/friends house/eating, and other normal people things. They fit comfortable around the sides and back of my foot, but after I walk for more than a few hours in them, the bottoms of my feet start to hurt. I have medium-low arches in my feet and these shoes don't have much forgiveness when it comes to supporting your foot. I have a pair of Brooks that I use to run it, but I would never use these to do any kind of running/hiking/training.<br /><br />I won't buy these shoes again. Probably go back to my old ways with Nike.
