A new release that receives high marks from the RW Shoe Lab, from wear-testers and from RW editors. While as-yet unproven over the long haul, the shoe represents a promising new addition to its category.

Puma's latest has a flashy look and offers solid performance, too. The heel and forefoot feature a section of durable polyurethane hexagonal units that compress into each other for added softness, tying the Bislett (right) as the softest shoe in this category. The upper overlays are covered in mesh for added support and a snug forefoot feel. Recommended for efficient runners with higher arches looking for a unique aesthetic.

"They were lightweight and breathable, but I was hoping for some more width." --Jennifer Ainsworth, 29, East Lansing
