PUMA Speedcat: should you buy it?
A thin soled racing low based on Grand Prix driver shoes. PUMA dates the lifestyle version to 1999 and relaunched it in 2024.
1. Buy it if
You want a very flat, slim shoe with an OrthoLite sockliner, as PUMA lists.
Styling view: you like the thin sole racing look with wide leg trousers or skirts.
2. Skip it if

You want sole height or cushioning: PUMA lists a flat heel and a synthetic midsole with no named foam.
3. Fit: what the sources say
