Great looking shoes. Appears more very light grey than white which turned out perfect for me. The red is a bright red. I recommended ordering 1/2 size larger than what you're use. I ordered 1 full size larger but 1/2 would have been fine.
Zappos is great! Shipped immediately and arrived in pristine condition. Will order from them again.

I normally wear a 9.5, I got these in a 10, and they fit perfectly. These are comfy right out of the box. They are bluer than the picture indicates but it's a nice, matchable blue.

Love these colors together they go with anything. I have wider feet and was worried they might not fit but the width is great. They make my feet look small which I like!

These shoes definately run small. I am usually a 7, but after reading some reviews, ordered a 7 1/2 and they fit great. Otherwise nice light weight shoe.

I've been a big fan of Puma for a while now. They seem to have the best style/comfort ratio at the price point. They are comfortable, but it only has medium cushioning, so your knees might get kind of sore if you walked around for an entire day in them. Overall it's a good shoe for the price.

My husband uses these shoes for work (he is a truck driver) and he says they are very comfortable and he loves them!

Love these shoes! They are the most comfortable shoes ever! They have a funky, stylish look which makes them more fun than regular sneakers!
I'm a regular woman's size 8 but had to go up a half size. Other than that they are perfect!

So much classier that the leather version (which has cheesy vinyl material around heel and along sides and returned to get this one instead). Embroidered cat logo on outer side, with large screen printed cat on inner. I run typically run size 9 in most makes/models, and 9.5 was perfect fit. Very cool shoe.

Myson says these are Awesome shoes to run in. Easier shoe tying. I bought these shoes for my 9year old and he loves them.

I've been wearing these for a couple weeks now and they seem to be holding up alright. The past two pairs of Pumas I've had wore out pathetically quickly, but the soles on these seem to be more durable. As with most Pumas they're fairly snug and took several days to break in, but so far I'm loving them.

Love these shoes. Had the Speed Cats for about 4 years, and it was a sad day when I parted from them. These are super comfortable for running. I can barely tell I have shoes on and everyone thinks I'm wearing slippers when I go out. They rock, period.

Look good, and feel good. Took me about a week to break in, now their more comfortable than not wearing shoes at all. So far, my favorite Puma shoe I've owned.

They were exactly what I was looking for. They fit just like all the other Pumas I have owned. The soul rises a bit in the back. It felt weird at first but is pretty comfortable once you get use to it. The product was true to the picture. There really is no arch support, and the soul is thin compared to most tennis shoes. That is my preference in shoes but some might not like it. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Didn't realize Puma Drift Cat 3 were motorsport shoes or what they really look like are wrestling shoes. I thought I was ordering regular gym shoes. I wore them to work and got a lot of funny looks and even one negative comment. They still look cool but appear small. One reviewer on this site stated shoes run larger...I think they run small. I wear a 10.5, ordered a 10.5, and seem a bit narrow but good in the length. I would say they're a snug fit.

This shoe is really cool, perfectly snug fit. A couple things about it. I wore a size 10 in the Puma Salas and had to go with 9 1/2 with these so you might need to downsize. The inside puma that looks like perforated mesh isn't, it's just a polka dot/checkered design but it still looks pretty sweet. The soles are kind of thin so they might not last too long but I just got them so I can't really tell yet. They are very comfortable and look great, the leather is very high quality and the design is great. No arch support that I have noticed, but you can always get inserts to correct that. All in all a very good shoe and I would recommend this for anyone who likes sleek low profile shoes.

Purchased these in my regular shoe size and they were 1/2 size too small. Zappos has an excellent return policy and I later repurchased them in a 1/2 size larger. They fit and look great!

I had originally tried these on in an actual store but they didn't have the size I needed (10.5). I am really happy with these, they look pretty cool, and I especially like the chain metal look with the lime. Very comfy, though I haven't worn them over a long period of time so I can't attest to their durability. It is suede though so you should take extra care to keep it clean.

I love these shoes, they are light weight and I like the style. For comfort, they don't have a lot of support in the arch, but they are pretty comfortable.

I just recently purchased a pair of the Puma Drift Cat 3 motorsport shoes from Zappos. I was upgraded to VIP which is gives you free one day shipping and is a very nice luxury that Zappos offers returning customers. As far as the shoe goes I would say it looks amazing, feels kind of narrow and you can also feel the seam, which is not that comfortable. The only thing I would think needs improvement is the Puma logo on the sole that starts to peel off in after wearing them for a couple hours! I have had Puma's before and the logo is painted on instead of kind of like a thin plastic logo on these shoes. I have had my other Puma's for 2 years and the logos have never come off! I am not pleased with the quality of the logo I had to have them replaced 3- 4 times and finally figured out it was just a poorly made logo. I would give this shoe a 4 out of 5 stars.

Great casual shoe. Awesome for driving, but I wouldn't wear them for a day of walking.

Elvis would be proud that I own these blue suede shoes. If you're looking at the blue ones, it's a silver stripe with silver cats on it (not white). These shoes are pretty good for driving but I wish they had more sole on the heel. It really not wide enough compared to driving mocs. I would pick driving mocs for a really long distance drive over these. There is just a hint of arch support, but due to being unisex the shoe is rather narrow and if your normally a "D" width then you will most likely spend the first 3 days squashing the arch support flat. The felt good after 4 days. I wear 10.5 but had to get these in an 11 mens. Pick the color that match your car and enjoy the drive.

Puma Drift Cat III SD -- not comfortable. Rubbed my heel and the outside of my feet all day. Not as cute in person as the picture online. Overall, not good enough. It's going back.

I practice Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) and needed a shoe that had a snug fit, flat bottom sole and a low heel profile. We do a lot of low stances and the way our feet are positioned it puts a lot of stress on the outside edge of the shoe. I saw that where the fat white stripe meets the sole was already getting dirty after 3 weeks of use, indicating to me that it was really getting loose. The shoe started wearing out fairly quickly and started getting looser, requiring me to tie the laces tighter each time. Used the shoes again a couple of days ago for practicing my sequences and I looked this morning and noticed that the between the white stripe and the laces, where the seam is, burst open. I've only had the shoes for about a month. Definitely more a shoe to wear for walking. Not intended for anything requiring foot work/flexing/bending of the sole.

The EcoOrthoLite Insoles are incredible. They turn this flat drivers shoe into a very comfortable daily wear shoe. Great job Puma! I love these shoes! Make sure you order 1/2 size bigger than you normally wear!

Love these shoes! Aside from being unusual and sharp, they have turned out to be great semi-minimalist trail running shoes, too. A pity, since they're gorgeous, but they have just a touch of support. A great deal for the money.
