Who should buy
We believe that this basketball shoe from PUMA is ideally suited for players who:
- sneakers Puma talla 41 baratas menos de 60
- Белые кеды puma original размер 42 в идеальном состоянии
- Ballon de foot taille 5 super état gonflé puma lifestyle sneaker
Who should NOT buy
The PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные is a disaster on outdoor courts as it breaks down way too easily. If you want a lasting hoop shoe for that purpose, we recommend the Кросівки шкіряні puma 38 instead.
And if you need a shoe that's more resistant to dust, the Adidas D.O.N Issue#4 and the Puma Wired Pro Puma JLG TRINITA 21 Sn99.
Puma Pantalons Curts De Natació Logo Length | Cushioning
Heel stack
Measuring the shoe's midsole with a caliper, we got 29 mm of stack height in the heel.
And while that's exactly the same as the average, the PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные feels thicker because of all the impact protection that it provides. It actually felt as if our feet were standing on a pedestal which did result in having less court feel.
Кроссовки puma тренировочные | 29.0 mm |
Average | 29.1 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, the stack height gets naturally lower. We got a caliper reading of 20.1 mm which is even a couple of millimeters less than the average.

Кроссовки puma тренировочные | 20.1 mm |
Average | 21.6 mm |
Drop
The PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные has a slightly higher than average drop of 8.9 mm. Having more abundant cushioning under the heel made us feel very safe and supported, no matter how hard our landings were.

Кроссовки puma тренировочные | 8.9 mm |
Average | 7.5 mm |
Midsole softness
The PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные has a firmer type of cushioning. Our durometer shows a reading of 32 HA. This is 15% firmer than the average of our tested basketball shoes. However, the shoe doesn't feel dull at all!
On the court, the TRC Blaze behaved exceptionally bouncy and responsive. We attribute that to the unique design of the midsole which features a stiff shank and a series of wavy hollows. Apparently, it helps to create a springboard-like effect.
It all made jumping in this PUMA shoe super easy and almost effortless.

Average | 25.1 HA |
Puma Pantalons Curts De Natació Logo Length | Insole thickness
A padded insole amplifies the underfoot comfort of the Кроссовки puma тренировочные. At 4.7 mm, it is about as thick as the average.

Size and fit
Size
PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные is slightly small (13 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
Measuring the widest part of the shoe's toebox, our caliper shows 95.7 mm. This is a few millimeters narrower than average but it still fits our medium-width feet well.
But we did find it to be more of a one-to-one fit rather than a roomy one. So, players with wide feet are recommended to get at least half-a-size bigger.

We also made sure that the Кроссовки puma тренировочные doesn't get too tapered by measuring the toebox width at the big-toe mark.
At 76.4 mm, it is only a millimeter narrower than average.

Stability
Lateral stability test
This PUMA basketball shoe boasts a high level of support and stability. There is plenty of sturdiness in the shoe's sole and the upper is reinforced with rubber overlays as well.
As a result, lateral movements were all well supported in the Кроссовки puma тренировочные.
Fire rigidity
Testing the shoe's Fire rigidity in our manual test, it feels very unforgiving. Attempting to twist the shoe sideways, we rated its level of stiffness as 4/5.
The stiff shank, firm cushioning, and raised sidewalls all work to create a highly stable base for various movements. Never once did we feel as if our ankles were going to ruffle.

Average | 4.4 |
Heel counter stiffness
The heel counter is just as mighty stiff as the sole. On a 1-5 scale, we gave it a rating of 4. Our heels and ankles were held firmly all throughout the game. Not a sight of heel selfie.

Puma Launch 3 Shorts
The Кроссовки puma тренировочные from PUMA has a fairly wide landing area.
In the widest part of the forefoot, we measured the shoe at 111.4 mm. This is an average width for basketball shoes but it made us feel surefooted all throughout the test.

Кроссовки puma тренировочные | 111.4 mm |
Average | 114.9 mm |
PUMA NYC Wash Out Baseball Hat
In the widest part of the heel, the sole width reaches 90.4 mm. This is also an average width but a reliable one for sure.

Кеды кроссовки puma 36 37 р
The heel-to-toe transitions feel very smooth in the PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные. We believe that's because of the midsole curvatures as well as the shoe's forefoot flexibility.
We tested the latter with the help of a force gauge. It took 31.2N to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. This is 34% less than it takes on average.

Average | 38.8N |
Weight
The PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные is a great pick for fast and explosive movements. At 13.1 oz (372g) per shoe, it turns out to be 0.5 oz (15g) lighter than our lab-tested basketball shoes on average.
But when on the court, it feels even lighter than that! This PUMA shoe allowed us to accelerate without being held back.

Average | 13.79 oz (391g) |
Breathability
Based on our breathability test, the PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные doesn't let the heat escape so easily. Pumping smoke through the shoe's upper, it was barely passing through. On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most breathable, we rated this PUMA shoe as only 2/5.
We also put the shoe against a bright light and found that it has ventilation panels on the sides. This is the most transparent part of the shoe's upper. But apparently, these are not enough to help with better aeration.

Looking at it through our microscope, we saw that it leaves no loops to breathe through.

Durability
Outsole hardness
With a durometer reading of only 69.4 HC (16% softer than average), this is one of the softest outsoles we've seen in our lab!
zapatillas de running Puma competición talla 38.5 entre 60 y 100.
It took us a single playtest to find out that the shoe's soft rubber and thin treads melt when contacting a harsh surface.
Кроссовки puma тренировочные | 69.4 HC |
Average | 81.5 HC |
Outsole thickness
PUMA did try to compensate for the softness with a super thick outsole. Using a caliper, we measured the rubber thickness at 5.8 mm (waaay thicker than average!).
While it helps with the shoe's overall longevity, it still doesn't help the thin treading lines last longer.

Average | 4.0 mm |
Upper materials
Puma Rs-x Winterized 370522 06.
Not only do they look cheap, they are in fact extremely frail. The laces look as if they were taken out of a $20 Walmart sneaker!
We actually think that the "quality" of materials on the Кроссовки puma тренировочные can be a deal-breaker that undermines all the other things that this basketball shoe does so well!
Misc
Grip / Traction
Even though the shoe's outsole is too frail for the outdoors, its performance is phenomenal indoors!
The multidirectional treads form a very efficient pattern for stopping on a dime and changing directions quickly. No matter where we took our next step, there were a number of tread lines facing that direction.
But like many basketball shoes, the PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные is sensitive to dust. Because of its soft and sticky rubber, the shoe's outsole picks up quite a lot of dust easily.
Tongue padding
The tongue of the Кроссовки puma тренировочные is among the thickest we've seen! Our caliper shows 12.9 mm which is (wow!) 3.5 mm thicker than average!
That's one of the features that makes the shoe's interiors feel so extremely comfortable.

Кроссовки puma тренировочные | 12.9 mm |
Average | 9.2 mm |
Tongue: gusset type
Discovering a semi-gusseted, or partially attached, tongue was a nice surprise. That doesn't usually happen in more affordable shoes.
We received plenty of foot containment from the PUMA Кроссовки puma тренировочные and that is in part thanks to the gussets.

Heel tab
There are no heel tabs on this PUMA shoe, but it's not that big of a deal. It is quite easy to get the shoe on and off.

Кроссовки puma тренировочные | None |
Removable insole
If you need to use a different insole or custom orthotics with the Кроссовки puma тренировочные, it is not a problem. The shoe's native insole is easy to remove.
