Who should NOT buy
The Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды 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 PUMA BLACK-PUMA WHITE 5.5 37271201 Sold Out instead.
And if you need a shoe that's more resistant to dust, the Adidas D.O.N Issue#4 and the Puma Everfresh Футболка без рукавов PUMA Running Favourite Czarne legginsy.
Cushioning
Heel stack
Measuring the shoe's midsole with a calliper, we got 29 mm of stack height in the heel.
And while that's exactly the same as the average, the PUMA TRC Blaze Court 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.
TRC Blaze Court | 29.0 mm |
Average | 29.1 mm |
Forefoot stack
In the forefoot, the stack height gets naturally lower. We got a calliper reading of 20.1 mm which is even a couple of millimetres less than the average.

TRC Blaze Court | 20.1 mm |
Average | 21.6 mm |
Drop
The PUMA TRC Blaze Court 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.

TRC Blaze Court | 8.9 mm |
Average | 7.5 mm |
Midsole softness
The PUMA TRC Blaze Court 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.
TRC Blaze Court | 32.0 HA |
Average | 25.1 HA |
Insole thickness
A padded insole amplifies the underfoot comfort of the TRC Blaze Court. At 4.7 mm, it is about as thick as the average.

TRC Blaze Court | 4.7 mm |
Average | 4.8 mm |
Size and fit
Size
Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды slightly small (13 votes).
Toebox width - widest part
Measuring the widest part of the shoe's toebox, our calliper shows 95.7 mm. This is a few millimetres 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.

TRC Blaze Court | 95.7 mm |
Average | 101.6 mm |
Puma Everfresh Футболка без рукавов | Toebox width - big toe
We also made sure that the TRC Blaze Court doesn't get too tapered by measuring the toebox width at the big-toe mark.
At 76.4 mm, it is only a millimetre narrower than average.

TRC Blaze Court | 76.4 mm |
Average | 76.9 mm |
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.

Puma Everfresh Футболка без рукавов | Torsional rigidity
Testing the shoe's torsional 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 roll.
TRC Blaze Court | 4 |
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 slippage.

Schuhe Puma Softride Premier Slip-On 376540 04 Puma Black Fizzy Lime.
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.

TRC Blaze Court | 111.4 mm |
Average | 114.9 mm |
Puma TR bottle core
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.

TRC Blaze Court | 90.4 mm |
Average | 90.1 mm |
Костюм байка штани puma ferrari
The heel-to-toe transitions feel very smooth in the PUMA TRC Blaze Court. 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.
TRC Blaze Court | 31.2N |
Average | 38.8N |
Weight
The Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды 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.
TRC Blaze Court | 13.12 oz (372g) |
Average | 13.79 oz (391g) |
Breathability
Based on our breathability test, the PUMA TRC Blaze Court 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.
In addition, the toebox material is woven extra-tightly on this PUMA shoe.
Looking at it through our microscope, we saw that it leaves no loops to breathe through.
If you would like to see a more breathable hoop shoe from PUMA, consider the Rise Nitro.

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!
Футболки чоловічі Puma з биркою.
It took us a single playtest to find out that the shoe's soft rubber and thin treads melt when contacting a harsh surface.
TRC Blaze Court | 69.4 HC |
Average | 81.5 HC |
Outsole thickness
PUMA did try to compensate for the softness with a super thick outsole. Using a calliper, 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.

TRC Blaze Court | 5.8 mm |
Average | 4.0 mm |
Upper materials
In our opinion, PUMA went for some really cheap upper materials, even for a £120 shoe.
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 TRC Blaze Court 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 Suit treads form a very efficient pattern for stopping on a sixpence 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 Кроссовки puma basket кожа оригинал 40р кеды 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 TRC Blaze Court is among the thickest we've seen! Our calliper 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.

TRC Blaze Court | 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 TRC Blaze Court and that is in part thanks to the gussets.

TRC Blaze Court | Both sides (semi) |
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.

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

TRC Blaze Court | Yes |
