These cougars are better than expected. I've been looking for stylish white sneakers for a long time and they are great. They are comfortable and look good. I usually wear a size 9 and a size 9 is a little large, but it goes well with thick athletic socks, so I also took a size 8.5 to wear with thinner socks. The Puma sizing chart is really helpful - I had to measure first. I'm happy to have two pairs as I will no doubt wear many of these.
