text: Having worn these Puma Suede sneakers in the early 1970's I was happy to see them back in production.  But after getting a pair, I realized that although they look the same as the 70's versions, they did not feel the same on my feet.  The old Puma sneakers had a nice cushy sole and a huge arch. These have a flat hard sole and almost no arch.  After walking with them for a couple of hours my feet hurt.  I think part of the reason is that the 1970's versions were made in Germany using quality materials and since then the company was sold and now they are made with cheaper materials in other parts of the world.  I'm toying with the idea of tearing out the crappy sole and putting in my own better quality one.  I'll give them 3 starts for my walk down memory lane, but a big thumbs down for how they feel on my feet.
