These are called soft foam plus optimal comfort for a reason. Pumas 'electron Street speckle.'speckle for the black flecks in the red! Extremely lightweight and undoubtably one of my favorite brands of shoes. I almost wear Pumas daily! These are hardly worn, and even though there are lace up, they are also slip on. Size 9, who wouldn't love these? ❤️ original shoebox included.
