Customer Reviews PUMA Whirlwind Classic

About 12 yrs. ago I bought three pairs of a like model, one in men's size, two in women's. They are now shabby, shabby (understatement) so I was elated when I saw this Whirlwind style show up. Other Puma styles I tried were not as comfortable. Just bought a pair of men's today. A little wide but I will put an insole in them. Next thing I know Puma will make a woman's model.

I have only worn them a couple of times so far. As with all Puma shoes, they are narrower than I would like, but with time I trust they will stretch out a bit. Otherwise these provide cushy comfort just walking and standing.

I have been working the past year to build my retro sneaker collection, and this is a wonderful addition! Very comfy and very stylish. A timeless classic! Thanks for having such a great selection of retro sneaks! I will be back for more!

These might be the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I usually buy Pumas because I've always found the comfortable to begin with, but the grip on these shoes (someone described it as looking like a bunch of big, rubber tic tacs sticking out of the shoes) really seems to absorb a lot of the shock/stress that would otherwise get put on your knees. I have a job where I have to stand for extended periods of time on hard tile floors in retail stores, which is very hard on the knees. But since I've been wearing these felt considerably less stress on my knees.

Man, I love these shoes! I own probably 20 pairs of Pumas and these are by far my favorite! I'm going to order this style in a few new colors. Fit is comfortable. They are light. Stylish as well as functional.

This shoe does seem to run a little small and narrow, otherwise a cool looking shoe.

ZOMG love these shoes! I'm a chic and I fancy the colors! I have the green ones and the black and red ones. they are incredibly comfy out of the box, lightweight and well made! I love PUMA!

These sneakers are very comfortable! They may run about a 1/2 size small. I wear an 11 and purchased size 11. I attempted to put in inserts and they were a tad snug. If you use any inserts I would suggest going up a 1/2 size. Other than that, I love the shoes!

These are the best shoes ever. I wear 10, 10.5, or 11, depending on the shoe and these were a true 10.5 and look great. They are well-constructed and sharp. Nice job Puma and Zappos. :)

Great shoes. Really comfortable. The part with the tread in the front sometimes gets caught and makes me trip, so maybe avoid if you're prone to embarrassing yourself in public.

I wear a size 12 in most of my tennis shoes, but I have to have a 13 in these. Now that we have that out of the way, there is nothing left to give but accolades! I ordered a brown pair about six months ago, and loved them so much I had to have a black and white pair. Neutral colors are covered, so next I will be getting a blue pair, a red pair and so on and so on. These are the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever worn that didn't cost $80-$100. Strong words, I know. I have flat, narrow feet and am constantly searching for something that is comfy from start to finish. These are them. I wouldn't run a marathon in them because the cushion (for me) would be too thin, but if you want to hang out all day these will be so comfy you will almost feel like you are barefoot. And you can dress them up with a pair of jeans and a blazer or dress them down with shorts and a t-shirt. Trust me, I have done that with them in the same day! Awesome sneaker! You can't go wrong with a classic that has been around almost 30 years. They must be doing something right!

I have enjoyed this pair of shoes quite a bit. I think they have a cool look to them. The tread on the shoe tends to pick up pebbles, mud, etc. very easily, but that has been my only annoyance.

Have had a pair of these for about 6 months now. The nubs on the heel have already worn completely off, and the rest aren't far behind. The rest of the shoe has held up great though. The sole is a bit thinner than I would like, and it has led to more than a few rolled ankles while horsing around. The cushioning is very nice, and I still wear them when I'll be on my feet all day (much better than standing in Sambas for hours on end).

These looked great, but in the end they run really narrow. If you have wide feet, sadly you'll need to stay away.

Having been a Puma fan for years now, these shoes do not disappoint! The airiness of the mesh ventilates my feet as well as make the shoe lighter. The studded tread is a first for me, however, it grabs most surfaces quite well. Overall, I like and wouldn't hesitate to buy another pair when these call it quits.

This is a very nice shoe -- looks good and feels good. The dimpled sole makes for a very soft and quiet step on hard surfaces. Don't know yet about the durability, but bought a second pair in a different color.

Got these even though my girlfriend hates Puma due to the people that usually wear them. When I told her that I had gotten them the pause in her speech was audible. They look great but I guess I'm off the hook as they won't work for me. There is virtually no arch support and the heel feels to have less padding than that under the ball of the foot creating a feeling I'll describe as walking uphill. Sure, I could buy an insert, but why? I walk a lot every day and don't buy shoes to put up with that hoo-ha. Lesson learned. Thank God for free returns!

This is the 2nd time that I ordered something. First time I got it in 1 day with standard shipping. This time took 5 business days, I was surprised. Product arrived with a couple of manufacture defects I guess but no big deal. Other than that everything was good.

These shoes are moderately comfortable. I had a pair of Roma that were mega comfortable for a street shoe. These were purchased as replacements. The foam is thin at the ball of the foot. The style is great.

I loved the look of these shoes. The suede contrast with the side nylon-ey kind of material was great. One complaint, any walking trough muddy or damp ground resulted in the bumps on the bottom picking up large amounts of dirt. This was annoying but I'm sure once they wear down that will change.

Look great but don't provide a ton of support; thus good for walking around in, but don't wear for working out.

This shoe will not stretch so if you have a wider foot (like me), this is not the shoe for you. Had it for over a year now and it still hasn't accommodated my foot. I had to get a wide shoe from New Balance.

I am returning this shoe. The pads of my feet hurt from trying them for a day. There is much less support in these Pumas than some of the other Pumas I have owned. They look great but such a dissapointment on overall wear. The material is very light weight and thin. If i kept these it doesn't seem like they would last very long at all.

Narrow fit, length true to size. Big issue is quality; the nylon-like material that makes up most of this shoe looked worn even when new, as if the dyes didn't quite take. The shoe looks cheap. All in all I m not happy with this shoe.
