PUMA Men's Roma Basic Sneaker

Comment

Classic, clean, smooth, simplistic and beautiful. A stark contrast to the "LSD trip" styles of sneakers these days. I love the looks of the Romas. That said, they are very stiff, and the leather creaks and feels cheap. I feel like theyll crack before long. Im going to try some sort of shoe butter to soften it up. They fit VERY tight. I have skinny, long feet and with my normal arch support inserts i wear comfortably with ALL of my other shoes (about 14 pair)...but not these. There is very little top to bottom room, and the width is snug. I generally wear a 10½ - 11. I bought the 11 for these after reading the reviews. The length is just on the small side, but i think an 11½ would be too large. This makes for a shoe that feels like a part of my foot...which is good...but they also start to ache after a couple of hours. I hope theyll loosen up when theyre broken in. Which will probably be never as i dont ever want to get them dirty. But...thats the price for fresh kicks i suppose.

Like everybody says - too narrow. I normally wear 11.5 M. Ordered 12 in these. By ordering 12 instead of 11.5 - they work, but still a little bit tight in width. Heres something obvious I just figured out today. WHEN YOU GET THEM, LOOSEN THE LACES ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE BASE OF THE TONGUE! That helped the narrowness problem a bunch. Didnt completely solve it - but helped.

They arrived in an unofficial (not even Puma logo box). Shoes are not trade marked and dont appear to be real Pumas. Ive seen these knockoffs being made on the streets of Port au Prince, Haiti. The tag on the inside tongue should have a little TM next to the shoe name. The material is not leather either.

I bought the black ones, not for training or sports but for every day at the office. Good made, and looks nice. I feel comfortable and they suite the purpose I bought them for. My size is between 9 and 10, I took 10 and it is just perfect for me. In the begining I thought it will be too narrow - but after few hours they expand to the width of my feet. I think it is a good buying. Concerning quality - Ill wait and see how will they last over time and will report and modify the 5 stars grade accordingly.

Honestly I dont know who can fit these shoes on their feet. Are there really people out there with feet this narrow? Right out of the box just looking at them I couldnt believe it but I thought I would give it a try. I fit in them but it was TIGHT. I thought maybe I just have to get used to them. I wore them to work and by lunch time my feet were KILLING ME. I had to go home and put on a normal pair of shoes. I have never had to do that, ever. These are ridiculously narrow. Returned instantly. Buyer beware.
