PUMA Men's Roma Sneakers

I use these treadmill and lifting weights. I use my Asics for squats and these for upper body workouts. Theses are like my Nike Cortez's except they have a leather tongue instead of Nike's stupid nylon one. The leather tongue is very luxurious and puts Nike to shame which makes me sad because I like Nike. I wear these with Puma shirts as to match and so far okay but they need dark navy Puma logos instead of off blues and sissy girl colors like candy or windows 8 start menu.I used to like Puma Suede's but last pair hurt my feet after walking on sidewalks for long amounts of time. I am not sure why that happened. Seemed weird like they used to be more comfortable. Maybe I got a bad pair.Had/have a pair of Puma Dallas I never wear because they are too loose in the width and about 1/2 or more too long. They slip off the heel when running no matter how tight I lace them (which makes them look long and too skinny and just funny) and they wiggle when I squat which is dangerous and annoying. The low heel is nice but who cares if it wiggles, how can I lift confidently with wiggle?Puma whirlwind had stupid nubby outsole which looked like dumb golf cleats and worse hurt my feet when I was walking to the mall and in the mall. On hard surfaces the nubs make a funny noise and people stared at me obviously amused by my choice of footwear. They click clacked on the hard tile so not good choice for out and about activities. Maybe sprinting on clay track or grass turf. Stay off concrete/asphalt/indoor surfaces.The G. Villas seem nice tennis shoe comparable to my Kswiss Classics so I might try them but I do not need tennis shoes right now. If I did I would rather G Unit Reebox's.The speed cats piqued my interest some time ago but I was not sure if the sleek styling was suitable for casual wear, too European. I could definitely see the value as sports trainers am I really liked when the outsole was good year rubber tire inspired. Kind of like racing car slicker tires i.e. less tread more traction. Now I am into working out more so these would be more appropriate for me as long as I did not combine the with no show socks as is a current trend. I need coverage on my Achilles plus like wearing Nike quarter crews so you can SEE the logo. No show's have logo on bottom of sock wear you can not see it, how stupid is that.All in all these are probably the best puma I have had not to low like the speed cats which would have to be purely sports trainers. I can wear these with jeans and look cool like they are Adidas superstars or something. Low shoes look bad with jeans unless you are bisexual and wear tight jeans or something. I wear looser jeans so low shoes tend to be paired training shorts. I can bench press with loose jeans and look normal.So these worked for the money , look good for casual, knocked off the Asics Corsair's/Nike Cortez but as least incorporated a leather tongue which should be almost mandatory, and are okay for sports and training. Not hardcore running or atg squats but bench pressing, leg pressing, light track work etc.Update 8/9/2019:I just received a white with black stripe. They are not as good as the originals. They are lighter and cheap naugahyde. They had a scratch on one and the other was crushed. They are comfortable but not the quality I expect from a german brand. Very cheap chinese feel.

Very good quality. Would recommend anytime

Excellent shoes, slightly smaller than expected toe box. If ya got thicker toes go up one half size I guess.

Shoes we're of great construction durable and clean white color. The sizing of the pair of shoes were narrower and I have a regular size 13 not a wide foot either but the fit was not comfortable because of the tightness.

The size fits, the color is my favorite, its comfortable, the style stands out and it has lasted longer than my last pair of sneakers.

Puma needs to come out with more colors and sizes of this one because the Roma are cushiony and comfy. The retro look is a bonus. I've got three now, as they are sometimes pretty reasonably priced. I'd collect more. Great find and fast delivery.

I'm giving these 3-stars because I had to return them. The shoes were unusually narrow and offer zero arch support. Also, my first impression of the material was that it seemed cheap. I've owned Puma shoes in the past and these did not measure up to those.

They run small -- go a half size up. I am typically a US women's 8 / men's 6.5 / Euro 39. I find that if I order shoes using Euro sizing which is determined by actual length (you can find charts that convert Euro size to centimeters) the fit is more accurate than going with US sizing. The Puma size chart shows Euro 39 corresponds with US men's 7 which is what I ordered and these fit me perfectly.I got the gum sole in white/gold and love the styling. These are more contemporary and sporty looking than most women's white sneakers which can sometimes look like bulky nursing shoes. The quality of leather is good and the construction is good. My only complaint is that after one wearing, the gold foil logo imprint on the foot bed inside one of the shoes started to peel, which is to be expected and not really an issue as this remains out of sight when wearing, however, a printed foot bed would have been appreciated for better esthetic wear. Also, there is a little glue residue around the toe where the gum sole meets the leather. The stitching is excellent.The first time I broke these in I wore them for a whole day while working on my feet and didn't experience any fatigue or aches. Comfort wise, they're not bad, no issues with rubbing and not stiff, however not as comfy and low profile as my favorite Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 (yep, the yellow Uma Thurman Kill Bill ones!), but these are half the price. I would say the Romas are moderate to very good and will get even more comfortable as the leather softens with wear. The arch support is good too. The grip on the sole is great and the shoe has an average degree of flexibility.I love them and am glad to have the Roma Classic Gum in my rotation for a moderately low profile leather sneaker. Versatile and sporty and good for wearing with jeans, shorts, leggings, or casual dresses. I do wish that Puma would bring back the Aiki Cat slip ons (no laces), but these are a decent alternative within the brand.
