Love 'em. I'm against support (I think it weakens your foot), so these are perfect casual shoes for building foot strength while still having cushion. They look and feel great!

Out of my last 5 pairs of exercise shoes, these are the best. I am hard on my feet; however, these don't hurt the bottom of my feet like other shoes.

The PUMA Faas 5000 is an excellent lightweight shoe. It looks great and feels great. The shoe runs a little small, so I recommend ordering a half size larger than you normally order.

All around great shoe. Love the look and extremely comfortable although lighter weight. I would recommend these to anyone who likes bright and fun shoes and who isn't a huge runner but needs a little bit of an athletic shoe.

I don't have much experience with a running shoe, but these are stylish and light. I would consider another shoe if you're looking for more of a cross trainer because the lateral support isn't the best (as you would expect from a running shoe). They have become more comfortable since I first put them on!

The Faas 500's by Puma are great fitness shoes. I'm not much of a runner so I'm not going to pretend I know how they perform in that arena. They are endorsed by the fastest man in the world, Hussain Bolt, so that's good enough for me! As a general fitness sneaker, they are supportive, lightweight, and breathable. They are extremely cool-looking and got some attention at the gym. Isn't that part of the reason we buy them? I would highly recommend them, just get them in a different color if you go to my gym.

Let me preface my review by saying that I have been running in Puma running shoes for the last 5 years (Puma Tenos, Eutopia, etc.) with some random excursions into NB, Adidas, Asics, and Brooks because Puma keeps changing their shoe line-up (Puma, stop it!). I know Puma is often thought of as a fashion brand, but their running shoes have outperformed other brands for me over the years and have been my little secret. Anyways, I always come back to Pumas and these shoes don't disappoint. I prefer to run in lightweight, cushioned, neutral shoes, and the Faas 500 checks all of those boxes. The shoe doesn't offer a lot of lateral support so if you pronate a lot these may not be the shoe for you. But, I would definitely recommend these for the efficient runner.

Nice shoe. Plenty of cushion, but lacks heel support (which is why I'm giving four and not five stars). Stylish but also practical for the gym. Overall, I am pleased.

The best running shoe yet! I have patellar tendonitis and I have no more knee pain. Light and comfortable.

Great color and light weight. Great for runners who strike mid to fore foot. Would also be good for heel strikers. I usually were a 9.5 and went with the 10 after returning the 9.5. The return process was very quick and easy!

I usually buy JJill or Eileen Fisher clothing. I wanted something similar comfort and style without the high cost of those other brands. This shirt lays well against the body and the material feels great next to the skin. However, there was just too much fabric under the armpits - it made me look rather silly (I am 5'3" and 140 lbs). I returned it.
