Reviews that these shoes run a little small are true. So if other shoes are usually tight, increase them by half a size. I like the tight fit and I have some old wooden "shoe trees" so I'm fine. I was pleasantly surprised at how light they are. They're definitely "fashion shoes" these days, but they're way, way better than the typical Puma shoes of the 1970's, including the Roma. Suede and heavy rubber were the brand's norm. You can do short runs in it and I plan (just for fun) with my local running group. Colors were a bit darker than I expected, but that could be due to my screen/settings. Still fun and bright! In general I am satisfied with the purchase.
