Customer Reviews PUMA Whirlwind Classic

A very comfortable, lightweight shoe. Good for all day wear, but for me, not enough support if much of that day is spent walking. Narrow. I wear a 9.5 New Balance wide - for the Puma shoe, I needed to go to a 10.5.

Very comfortable. A slim, tight fit that keeps your feet close with the ground. These shoes are very similar to the Puma Rio Racer (which I no longer see on Zappos). The only thing I'm not crazy about is the pointy tread on the bottom. It creates a slightly wobbly feel with the ground and pebbles often get stuck between the tread points.

I have received many compliments on these retro-appearing Pumas. The size runs narrow which is a plus for my particular needs. They seem well made. However, I like a more cushioned feel available in non-retro shoes. While these shoes look good, fit well, and are fine for general wear, I would not wear them on an all-day walking tour of New York City or Paris.

These look really nice, but they feel strange. I returned an 11.5 pair (Zappos made that so easy!) because they were constricting on the sides near the ball of my foot. The 12 is a little better but still feels narrow. I have always worn standard width, and an 11.5 Saucony Jazz Original fit perfectly. The insole feels cushioned enough, but is not shaped naturally. Overall I like them. They don't rub, but I might need my own insert.

Comfortable shoe with a sleek, narrow profile. The nubby tread provides excellent cushioning and seems relatively durable after a few weeks of wear. My only complaint is that the material behind the Puma logo/swoosh on both sides is a shinier material than the picture shows (was hoping for something matte). Overall a pretty great shoe, though.

I saw this style of shoe in a local department store, but the color selection was pretty bland. I thought, 'I bet Zappos has more color options.' Zappos is where I found the color combination that I really liked, so I bought them on my iPhone using the Zappos app.

Great shoe, very comfortable and stylish. The only thing I wasn't counting on is how warm my feet get. I thought they might breath a bit more...

These shows were much more comfortable than a previous pair of Puma's that I have owned. The feel good and replaced my uncomfortable Puma Roma's (that were probably 5 years old). The only draw back is the little spikes on the driver's heel sometimes catch on the back of my pants. I wonder if they will prematurely wear away the bottom of my pants from the rubbing with the little spikey nubs.

Get some compliments on the looks, but the materials quality is so so up close, and a lot of plastic-y material inside means sweaty feet.

I run three or four miles a day in these shoes. Do not let the retro looks fool you. They are great light weight cheap running shoes.

I bought this shoe for my husband and a short 4 months later, there is a wear hole in the toe of the shoe. They are cute shoes, but the quality is lacking.

Really good looking shoe that is comfortable. The problem is the bottom of the shoe is made of small little nubs or spikes, walking through dirt or small rocks gets all of this caught in there and you drag it into whatever house you go into next. This was extremely annoying as anywhere I went if I walked though loose soil I'd be tracking it everywhere

Wow, I can't believe I've owned these shoes for 7 months. Basically worn them every day. I walk/run 10 miles per day, so that's 2100 miles, and they still look brand new. The best pair of shoes I've owned in awhile. Comfortable, supportive, awesome.

Excellent shoes, very comfortable. The tred pattern keeps excellent grip for running on wet surfaces

What attracted me to these shoes in particular was the price, but upon wearing them for the past few weeks I can tell you that they are much better than expected. They are extremely comfortable, stylish and go with everything. Pumas have historically catered to wider feet, so keep that in mind when ordering. I am a teacher and on my feet all day. You will not be let down by these shoes.

The Denim ones look awesome -- just like the pictures. The only semi-negative thing worth mentioning is that the side walls squish out when you step or put weight on the shoes, which makes sense because the sidewalls are a thin vinyl material. So the shoes are not super stable for people needing arch or foot support. I highly recommend them for cool kicks to wear around, but I wouldn't recommend for a ton of city walking or jogging.

I had another pair of blue and white pumas that have been my farorite shoes over the past five years, the Lab 2. I decided it was time for another pair of gym and general kick around shoes and i was immediatly fixated on these due to the color scheme and Puma brand. I actually like these better than the Lab 2s because they have more padding on the sole and a very slightly elevated heel whick I like for weight training. These shoes are very comfortable and fit my narrow-medium width fit like a glove. I love the style and the comfort. Couldn't be happier.

Very nice looking. Very light. Though, like most Pumas, they run a little narrow. Would buy again.

I love these shoes, though I only use them for casual wearing. They feel a bit larger than my previous pair of Pumas of the same size.

In the last year I have starting really digging the lightweight, low cushion, stylish sneakers, and these are the most comfortable so far. I feel like walking on squishy clouds with them!

Look great! Pretty "true-to-size". Very light-weight. Would purchase again if I had to "do it all over again."

These are an awesome shoe! Run slightly narrow and have little to no arch support. They do have good cushioning in the sole to help make up for the lack of support. Very nice design. Fit is true to size. Depending on the shoe, I wear a 10 - 10.5. I ordered a 10 and it fits well with 3/4 a thumb width of room in the big toe. Get some!

Great shoe, very comfortable and retro stylish. I normally wear Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 88 and these are just as comfortable, almost like you're not wearing anything. I was a little apprehensive about the small, cleat-like nubs on the sole but they actually feel pretty normal. However, as with other shoes like this, there is not much arch support at all. I've also found that for me Puma tends to be a whole size small, as I normally wear a 10 with most any other brand, but with Puma it's 11.

I owned a pair of Pumas two pair of shoes ago, I thought they were pretty comfortable. After those I switched to another brand and didn't like them as much. I returned to Puma with this pair of shoes and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. They are lightweight and so comfortable it feels like you're wearing slippers. The little nubs on the bottom massage your feet almost and you'll feel like you're gliding along the ground at faster speeds than you normally do.

Bought the parrot green pair and loved them so much I bought the denim blue as well. The shoes are light and cushioned, and the little knobs on the soles make all the difference. The only improvement I would make is make this shoe out of leather. It's getting harder and harder to find leather sneakers and the textile ones just do not last as long, though you pay a lot for them.
