Who should not buy it
Purchase the PUMA RS-X for a pair that isn’t chokingly tight on foot. Go for PUMA H.ST.20 if you want a kick that doesn’t require a break-in.
Outstretched feet? Nope!
A sneakerhead regretted believing a comment saying Replicat-X fits faultlessly with a half-size down. According to him, it is a bad idea as the sneaker “fit really snug” to the point where it became uncomfortable on foot.
The sizing on this sneaker is actually a half-size small, as confirmed by other reviewers. One mentioned that going true to size in Replicat-X provides “minimal wiggle room.” Moreover, wide-footers are warned that it might not give them the best in-shoe feeling.
Ocean Dive Puma White
Due to its snugness, reviewers find it requisite to break in the sneaker first. After the break-in period, one noted, “you shall have no problem.”
While on wheels or not, PUMA Replicat-X is street-ready
Although Replicat-X is released under PUMA’s motorsport collection, a sneaker fan pointed out that it is “100% a street shoe.” He expounded that this sneaker’s driving heel “isn’t really a driving heel,” as it is oversized and should be slim like the traditional ones. However, some still considered it “nice for driving.” One shared it is “very comfortable for driving fast & clutching.”
On the other hand, non-drivers also get a kick out of this pair. A wearer claimed that it is definitely “on the comfy side.” “They feel great” is the remark left by a reviewer after walking in it for the whole day.
Yay for the PUMA Replicat-X’s workmanship
A fan described the sneaker as “very well constructed,” while others praised its longevity. ” Many love the quality of this kick, especially its soft-to-touch material. Even the details on this pair are well thought out. The tissue paper that covers the sneaker has a cool little specification diagram chart explaining its features. One exclaimed, “if you enjoy wearing PUMA, this takes it to the next level!!!”
Meant for the main lanes
The unique silhouette of this sneaker is not for the side roads. Like what a sneakerhead said, this is a “nice street shoe to have in your collection.” It has a clean and crisp profile that sneaker fans adore. Also, there is a range of colorways they could choose from.
Fair enough bucks
Even though it is 19% pricier than the average cost of PUMA Motorsport sneakers in our database, reviewers believe that $100 is a reasonable price to pay for this sneaker.
