I don't know what happened to Puma sneakers. They run a size down and the toe box is incredibly tight. I used to wear Puma for running and training, they had plenty of room and were exceptionally comfortable. These axelions are NOT - they are small, tight, cramped and generally uncomfortable. The insole is not very comfortable and the sole is hard and slippery. I've always preferred Puma over Adidas but lately I've changed my preference. Update - they cramped my legs so much I changed my rating to one star and am donating them. They are very small, have no space in the toe area and do not correspond to the usual Puma quality. Besides, he was disappointed in them.
