Look great and good traction which I need

I received them 2 days after I ordered them. Smoking! Picture in listing is not very accurate. Light blue canvas is much lighter in real life. Size 9 of this shoe is slightly more to the 8.5 side of things but work perfect for me. Very light. Very grippy. They're not gonna last forever. Break in time is very short. Slightly flimsy. But another good buy. Sharp looking.

These seem like good shoes. I've had them around two weeks. They were inexpensive and I didn't have super-high expectations for them, basically bought them to work in the garden and such. They're solidly made, though they are plastic - there's no leather or suede on these. They're very comfortable and ran true to size for me. Foot and arch support is good. I have no complaints. Time will tell whether the problems that others have encountered with the soles splitting happens to me. So far, these seem to be in good shape.

Most people aren't properly aligned and when you watch them from the back, they look super fat because their knees tend to buckle in.
I weigh 135 pounds and when I saw photos of myself from the back I almost fainted. I looked 100lbs heavier just due to how my legs were aligned. My knees looked like they were about to collapse/explode (take your pick).
These puppies give you a tiny bit of arch support that helps balance your weight on the outside of your foot, rather than the inside.
They are good for shoes that you can't remove the insole like non athletic tennis sneakers or other shoe that has some sort of heel so it wont slip out.

These are the most comfortable Pumas I’ve ever owned. Good price, quick shipping. Happy with this purchase.

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.
The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.
The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.
Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.
