    How's Puma's NRGY compared to Adidas Boost?

    I believe Puma had the head start on Boost tech but somehow they only released very few models of NRGY. Both looks identical but how about the cushioning? Is NRGY softer than Boost? NRGY also comes with soft insole to complement the Foams.

    Anyone relace their newly bought shoes? I find most shoes badly laced up by sweatshop workers, I have a tendency to remove the lace & relace them so the laces all face the same direction & look tidy. I also have the outer side of the lace go in after the inner side so it sits on top at the...

    Is CP3 VII better than Superfly 2?

    I'm currently looking for a low cut shoe which gives a low feel & also durable for outdoor. I'm using the old Venomenom 3 which works quite well for me, low & responsive, durable sole the only problem is lack of heel support which hurts my heels when i jump so i added a custom cushion which...
