Who should buy
We believe that this basketball shoe from PUMA is a great choice if you are looking for the following:
- a guard shoe that offers a lot of court feel
- a basketball shoe that also doubles as a lifestyle sneaker
- Чоловічі нові бутси puma
Who should NOT buy
The Puma Dua Lipa x Wmns Mayze Boot Black made of materials that do their job well; they just do not feel premium. Those who like comfortable fancy stuff are better off with the PUMA RS Dreamer or the Clyde All-Pro. These basketball shoes are signature offers, so we can expect them to be made of materials that not only feel nice but also look so good.
In our opinion, bigger athletes in need of more impact protection are not going to enjoy the Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White. Shoes like the PUMA Rise Nitro and the PUMA MB.02 provide a much more generous helping of cushioning.
Cushioning
Heel stack
On paper, the heel stack height of the Puma Dua Lipa x Wmns Mayze Boot Black 30.2 mm, which is the same as most basketball shoes tested in our lab.
However, because of the four hollows embedded under the heel, the shoe feels much more grounded. As the hollows compress, the shoe gets closer to the ground, offering plenty of court feel.
For that reason, we think that this basketball shoe is great for smaller and lighter guards who are often quick Кроссовки puma ca pro оригинал 39-43 46 кожа.
Impact protection is not this shoe's forte.

Court Rider | 30.2 mm |
Average | 29.2 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, we measured the cushioning thickness at 21 mm. It is an average stack height for basketball shoes and doesn't interfere with the shoe's court feel.

Court Rider | 21.0 mm |
Average | 21.6 mm |
Drop
Because of the shoe's dynamic cushioning, its heel-to-toe drop is prone to changing as well.
Being 9.2 mm in its "resting state," we assume that it gets a few millimeters smaller under the body weight.
Court Rider | 9.2 mm |
Average | 7.6 mm |
Midsole softness
The Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White felt pretty bouncy and responsive throughout our playtest. This is partially due to the firm nature of its foam.

This is also a contributing factor to the shoe's excellent ground contact.

Court Rider | 30.4 HA |
Average | 24.8 HA |
Insole thickness
A thick insole is added to buffer the foot from the firmness of the sole. At 5 mm, it is a little thicker than average.

Court Rider | 5.0 mm |
Average | 4.8 mm |
Size and fit
Size
Puma Dua Lipa x Wmns Mayze Boot Black slightly small (14 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
The Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White runs true to size and fits as expected for our medium-width feet. We don't see any need for size adjustment.
In the widest part of the forefoot, we measured the shoe at 100 mm - a very much average width.

Court Rider | 100.0 mm |
Average | 101.6 mm |
Toebox width - big toe
The same goes for the tip of the toebox. The shoe doesn't get narrower than most basketball shoes we've tested.

Stability
Lateral stability test
We were amazed at how stable and supportive the Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White feels. Those extra layers of material paired with a stiff heel counter and a firm base worked wonders for lateral movements.

Our feet remained locked in place and we experienced no risks of ankle rolling either.
Torsional rigidity
The Court Rider has a very solid build which doesn't let the shoe twist. As a result, this PUMA shoe feels like one with the foot during intensive footwork.
In our manual test of torsional rigidity, we rated the shoe as 4 out of 5. This is almost as stiff as it can get in basketball shoes.

Average | 4.4 |

The shoe's heel counter also scores high on the stiffness test. Actually, it earned the highest score of 5/5!
Rigid but well-padded, it is the perfect formula for keeping the heel securely in place.

The ensemble wouldn't be complete without a nice and wide base. We measured the widest part of the forefoot at 113.7 mm, which is about the same as the average.

Court Rider | 113.7 mm |
Average | 115.0 mm |
Midsole width - heel
The heel, on the other hand, is insanely wide!
Our caliper shows a reading of 98 mm in the widest part of the heel. This is almost a whole centimeter wider than average! This is among the widest landing areas we've seen in our lab so far.

Court Rider | 98.0 mm |
Average | 90.3 mm |
Flexibility / Stiffness
Despite its overall stiff construction, the Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White finds some room for flexibility.
Based on our force gauge measurement, it takes 34.9N to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. That is 68% less than it takes on average!

Puma smash platform v2 l white black women casual shoes sneakers 373035-02 | Weight
At first, we thought that our scales were broken...but no, they weren't. That's how heavy the Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White really is!
At 15.8 oz (449g), it is a whole 2 ounces heavier than average! We really don't get how this PUMA shoe managed to outweigh even the Nike LeBrons.
We can't really blame it on the price of the shoe either. There are a lot of budget-friendly options out there that weigh much less. Take the zapatillas de running Puma voladoras minimalistas talla 38.5 (12.8 oz) or the Nike Precision 6 (12.0 oz), for example.
Court Rider | 15.84 oz (449g) |
Average | 13.83 oz (392g) |
Breathability
What may seem like breathable mesh, turns out to be misleading. We found the Puma Wired Knit EU 39 Peacoat Puma White to be a toasty shoe, both on the court and in our lab tests.
Pumping smoke through the shoe's upper, it barely came out on the other side. The only streak of vapor appeared around the tongue. For that reason, we rated the shoe's breathability as only 2 out of 5.
In the transparency test below, we put the shoe's upper against a bright light to show you that there are no ventilation pores in the fabric.
We also turned to our microscope to take a closer look at the mesh.
The fabric is made of multiple layers which, when combined, form a pretty tightly woven material.

Durability
Outsole hardness

Pressing our durometer against the outsole, we found that the rubber is only 72 HC (12% softer than average). For that reason, we do not recommend exposing the shoe to outdoor courts too often. Soft rubbers tend to wear out much faster.
There are budget-friendly shoes at the same price point that have harder rubbers. Take the Puma x PAM Nano for example.

Court Rider | 72.0 HC |
Average | 81.8 HC |
Outsole thickness
The amount of rubber used in the Court Rider's outsole is quite average. Our caliper shows 4.1 mm of thickness.

Misc
Grip / Traction
We would say that the grip on this shoe is pretty basic. Nothing to write home about but also nothing to be concerned with.

Tongue padding
The tongue padding is super generous in the Court Rider. Measuring it with a caliper returned a whopping 12.9 mm! That's 3.5 mm thicker than average. No wonder the shoe feels so cozy against the instep.

Court Rider | 12.9 mm |
Average | 9.3 mm |

The tongue is fully gusseted in the Court Rider. It helps to keep the foot in place for intense side-to-side movements big time!

Court Rider | Both sides (full) |
Heel tab
The shoe doesn't make use of any pull tabs or finger loops. That's unfortunate because the gusseted tongue makes the shoe opening smaller which also makes it trickier to put the shoe on.

Court Rider | None |
Removable insole
For those who rely on custom orthotics, the shoe's insole is easily removable.
