Our verdict

What we liked

  • Top-Tier Visual Style Stands out as the most stylish and premium-looking athletic shoe in the lineup, completely hiding its waterproof nature.
  • High-Grade Midsole Energy Utilizes Puma's responsive "ProFoam" EVA technology to provide top-tier cushioning and smooth everyday movement.
  • Plush Step-In Feel Outfitted with an authentic, high-comfort memory foam insole that yields a soft underfoot layer.
  • Smart Arrow Tread Grooves The high-traction rubber outsole features sharp arrow-shaped lugs that match the iconic Formstrip side pattern.

Could be better

  • Permeable Center Tongue The center tongue element absorbs moisture rapidly during testing, making it wet and unsuited for prolonged water submersion.
