Customer Reviews PUMA Street Kosmos

These shoes make love to my feet. They are tight, but gentle. They squeeze in the right places so that I can reciprocate through rebound tenderness, and they pace me so I don't climax too soon.

This shoe is really great, it's very comfortable and I love how it looks. The one problem I have noticed is that when I am out running in my Seattle weather (raining) and the ground is wet I slip a lot because there is not much traction. Other than this, great product.

Great lightweight minimalist shoe. Wearing sans socks is trying because of some fabric that hangs down in the front of the shoe inside.

Excellent shoe. The fit is soft and very glove like. The midsole is minimal yet cushy. Highly recommended for those wanting minimal shoe and have the foot shape for this model.

I expected a modest, middle of the road product, commensurate with pricing. I have to say the Street Kosmos exceeded my expectations with regard to style, fit and function. The shoe is so light I felt as though I was high-stepping everywhere. The open mesh weave design gets a little soiled at the toe if you aren\'t careful where you step but clean up is simple with soap and water so it isn\'t much of a concern. I am thoroughly pleased with the purchase and will look for the Street Kosmos again once these wear out.

Great shoes. The sizing is perfect. Loved the mesh shoes, have been looking for them for the past 4 years since I got my old ones. Got these is black and white.

These are sleek and good looking. A little delicate at first look but have held up well during constant wear for the first month. Light weight and good ventilation. Exactly what my son was looking for and couldn\'t find elsewhere.

These shoes, even more than other Puma's I've had in the past, fit perfectly right out of the box. Beware though, if this is your first Puma, get a full size larger than you normally do. Other than the size thing, these shoes rock. The sole is kind of interesting in that it's not a full sole. It feels kind of weird at first and I think that anyone with flat feet may be uncomfortable in them. Mine fit fine in the sole and the shoes are light as a feather and they breathe very well. Also by the picture you can't really tell, but the stripe and the Puma are metallic silver. Not white, which was a pleasant surprise when I took them out of the box.

I bought these shoes because of their zany aesthetics and I have not looked back since. They are very comfortable and light weight. If you are looking for a shoe for summer and can’t stand flip-flops because of the partition that goes between your big toe and second toe, this is it. The color goes great with sunny days and a colorful outfit. I highly recommend these shoes to all fans of bright colors and comfort.

These shoes are light and extremely comfortable. I liked them well enough to buy a second pair of another color.

Patterned after the iconic H Street running shoe. The upper on the Kosmos is a lined mesh, and holds water when wet and is warmer than the open mesh. Until the H Street returns to market, this is probably one of the better minimalist training shoes offered. The midsole is stiff for the first 25+/- miles, but then they get much more flexible.

Great style, but little to no arch support. The comfort is not the best but is good. These shoes are ideal for going out, not good for running or long walks.

Very narrow...just be sure you realize this if you have larger feet. However, they looked nice! Wish I could have worn them! By the way, great service from Zappos!

Love the look of the shoe and the fit, but the shoe construction quality control is poor, as I had to order 3 pairs to find a pair that wasn't defective.

I ordered these as a new pair of minimal running shoes. They look very nice. However, they fit small, too small I think. They also tend to be quite narrow. I didn’t keep them and didn’t think they merited trying in a larger size. I’m going to stick with my Onitsukas instead.

Stylish and very lightweight. The soles are pretty thin and the arch support is minimal at best. These shoes are for wearing out, I wouldn't recommend them for work if you stand or walk a lot.

Cool looking shoe, very lightweight and comfortable. Reminds me a little of a driving moccasin as far as fit and lightness on your feet. IMO, definitely not substantial enough for weights or aerobic activity, so don’t get it thinking these will be your cool new workout shoes--strictly fashion. I can’t imagine the fairly soft soles lasting very long with very much walking on concrete either. More of a stylish, indoor shoe. Interesting note is that for those with big feet (I wear a 14 in Puma), these are the skinniest looking shoes I’ve ever worn. Wasn’t the goal, but with the glove-like fit, my feet almost look small in these compared to everything else I own.

They fit snugly around the ball of the foot. I have normal width ('D') sized feet and I had to order a half-size larger than what I normally wear. The tightness is just bearable, but goes away after I start running in them. The first thing I noticed about these shoes is that they look great and are the lightest shoes I've ever had. I normally only run a few days a week at distances of 3-7 miles. I've also been re-training myself to be a fore-foot runner and these feel almost as though I don't have any shoes on. Overall, these shoes are great!

Super light weight. I can't run in them because the outer sole is oddly narrow, but they are great run-around-town shoes. They are incredibly light and it's like going barefoot. They are very narrow, though. I think the build quality could use some improvement but at this price you're getting a nice pair of sneaks.

I bought a pair of these for everyday use, but ended up using them as running shoes for short distances, (under 5 miles). They're light and comfortable. However, the downside is they've probably got the least durable sole of any shoe I've ever owned. The tread wore off in less than 2 weeks, leaving the ball and heel almost completely smooth. After 6 months I've worn through the sole and am walking on the foam core. Because of the short life of these shoes I probably won't be buying another pair, but they've earned their place in my closet as my most comfortable shoes to date.

This shoe is for very narrow feet, with very high arches. Absolutely crazy for people with flat feet. Very painful to wear. Great style and light weight, but painful.

I'm a Puma fanatic; it's all I buy. I own over 30 pairs. These shoes have a great design, and you think you're getting a great deal cause the price is right. What you don't know is that they are the most uncomfortable pair of shoes ever. It feels like someone is stabbing you with a sharp knife on the bottom of your foot where the arch of your foot is. There is no support whatsoever and do not recommend prolonged exposure to walking or running in this shoe.

Bought these from Puma directly because Zappos & Amazon didn't have the black and gold version. Sole was way too skinny and there was absolutely no arch support. I consider myself to have pretty normal size feet, so I was shocked when I saw how skinny it was (I tried other Pumas on at one of their outlets and they fit normally, so it might just be this model). Additionally where the bottom of the sole curves up over the meshy area was already starting to separate, so they don't seem like a quality pair of shoes, either. I'm going to give another pair of Pumas a shot though. I also ordered these a half-size larger, and they were fine, length-wise. It was just the extreme skinniness that caused me to send them back.

Very small sole! Nice looking shoe, comfortable but the sole is possibly the smallest I\'ve ever worn. Not for people with wide feet.
