Our verdict

What we liked

  • Weather Proof This boot is designed to handle tough weather.
  • Inner Comfort Unlike most boots that are hard inside, this one has amazing padding and feels incredibly comfortable.
  • Warm Feel There is a fur-like material near the collar (though not all the way inside) which adds warmth and style.
  • Rugged Build It has metal eyelets, thick rope laces, and a 100% rubber outsole for extreme durability.
  • Surprisingly Light For a boot that looks this heavy, it feels surprisingly light on the feet.

Could be better

  • Box Condition The box came completely destroyed.
  • It's a boot, so you can't wear it everywhere. It's for specific looks or weather.

About Puma

In India it has operated since 2005 through its own subsidiary, Puma Sports India, rather than a licensee, and sells through in.puma.com, exclusive stores and authorised marketplace storefronts.
