Puma

I love this store, it’s a nice two level dedicated Puma store. All things Puma, everywhere. Been a fan of Puma products for years now mainly for their shoes and socks. However, I have also purchased t-​shirts and other miscellaneous items in the past. The space isn’t huge, but medium size. The selection is usually always changing which is nice to see and you take advantage of sales which are frequent as well. Though you do pay a bit more for Puma branded products, I always think the quality shines. Some of their shoes that I’ve purchased in the past I admit were cheaply made, resulting in fast shoe degradation, but most are great. My biggest piece of advice is that Puma tends to run smaller than your usual sizes with their shoes. In many cases I have to under a whole or half size. Secondly, Puma shoes breathe terribly! Make sure they are snug, but also have space to wear loosely, you won’t regret the flexibility to do so. Of all the shoes I’ve worn, Puma is a culprit of this for me anyway. Aside from these things, the store is modern and well kept. It’s never packed there, so you can stroll through at your own pace. Here’s the catch, apparently this location is closed. But, thanks for reading what it used to be like! ;)

Huge store with a big selection of shoes and attire. The branded selection which includes BMW and Ferrari is quite nice though also quite pricey. The sales weren’t very good but the selection is huge. The staff is also fairly friendly.

This Puma store is bigger than the one at Union Square (now closed). I was here for a cool event where the first 25 people get $ 25 gift card. Aside from that, the sale reps were nice. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find the last pair of shoes in display and I had to go to another store for it.

Usually great selection. Service is hit or miss since they call down for shoes for men’s floor. Great location though and clean nice store.
I was quite disappointed with the children’s shoe selection this past time, though.
Overall always a good experience.

They were very helpful… I had purchased a pair of Puma running shoes that somehow had the glue come undone on both shoes even though they were not that old. They allowed me to return those and gave me a credit equal to the price of the shoes at the time. I then paid a little extra and got another pair… This time the glue was fine! Really good customer service and a nice selection of Puma sneakers.

Nice customer service and latest designs. Not necessary best stocked.
I had to take my customer’s son here (out of country, not much of English speaking…) It was cool to see how Puma is engaged in GREEN technology by using some environmentally friendly material. But of course, he wanted Ferrari collaboration items, which were scarce here at Puma store.
They need more changing rooms, as it wasn’t really cool to wait for him in women’s section (I guess «girls» section… check out big pink neon sign reads GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!)
Kids working here were nice, I guess they know if you are coming here, we are spending?

Just short of everything Puma you might need…
Since the store itself is a bit on the small side their selection is somewhat limited. They do make up for it however it the service from the staff who are quick to grab your size and help you find the shoe you’re looking for if they don’t have it. When shopping through SoHo this should be on your list of stops but you won’t need more than a few minutes there.

Beautiful, large two story store. Men’s section upstairs (ground level) and women’s section downstairs. Pretty much everything you could want from Puma here. The staff is friendly and helpful.
In NYC, if the item you’re purchasing is under $ 110, then no tax.
Also, downstairs, there’s an exit/​entrance to the store that leads to the subway.

Puma in NYC’s SoHo was actually pretty nice. I’m used to the one in Boston on Newbury Street which is located smack dab in Hipster Heaven, so even though this one was in SoHo, it was still relaxed and seemed like it catered to all types of styles. I needed a pair of shoes for a party I was throwing, so I went to ADIDAS right up the street. After having a basketball bounced in front of me and being almost impaled with a soccer ball, I decided to give Puma a shot.
After heading down into the basement, which I thought was creepy but cool, I was greeted by this super nice girl who was really helpful. I had just been forced to sidestep a group of Asian tourists which landed me in a puddle right before entering the store, so I didn’t really want to try on shoes, but she got me some socks and I was in and out in about 10 minutes. She even went to hunt down another kind of sneakers to give me options. The ambience was a little crowded, but what store isn’t on a Saturday afternoon in NYC?
I’d definitely prefer this one to the one riddled with pretension that’s near me in Boston.

Decent selection of shoes and clothes.
Very Big and spacious.
First floor is for womens (located in the back).
Basement is for Mens. Good customer service.
Only thing is that I think online has a better selection of shoes.

I love Puma to begin with but to walk up in this store, DJ playin some nice house, girls workin the register and helpin out the customers and them having some siiiiick shoes in my size is a priceless Puma pit stop for me. Jealous that NYC seems to get the better styles than SF. blah!

There was a time when Puma reinvented itself and started designing really cool, sleek, and comfortable shoes. Puma shoes were clearly identifiable, became popular, even though not everybody could wear them. There is a Puma type, and just because you are wearing Puma shoes doesn’t mean you’re a Puma type.
But then WHAT HAPPENED?! In the past couple of years Puma stopped designing shoes with that unmistakable futuristic design, and started making shoes that look just like Nike or Adidas. Now the Puma store feels like a Footlocker!
I had a pair of suede Roma in brilliant blue that died. I really loved those shoes, I wore them to consumption. In fact, I kept wearing them even though they were long dead. I just did not want to let go of them. I’ve been looking for a nice pair of Puma to replace them since at least a year, but I finally gave up: I just got a pair of Vans the other day.
I still have a pair of Shattenboxen low suede, and I wear them only 2 – 3 times a year. I want these babies to last, because they cannot be replaced.
I still stop at the Puma store occasionally, but only when they have a sale.
it’s been good, but I don’t recognize you any more…
Btw, you can still find nice Puma shoes on eBay

Great customer service, very expensive, very rarely will their ever be a sale. The interior is very upscale and modern with a DJ booth (I never see DJ’s their,… um .ever) Its a good shoe store for the Puma enthusiast but honestly their is about 4 to 5 stores in the immediate area that sell Puma’s for less. 1 star for the customer service, 1 star for the fact that I’ve purchased Puma’s their before… otherwise the store is ok at best.

Expert customer service, really nice interior design, great location. Love the Dj set up when there’s one!

I hate, hate shopping in Soho on Broadway on the weekends. It’s horrendous. That being said I needed sneakers. I enjoyed my first pair of Pumas for about two years back in college; I bought those at a DSW shoes.
Oh one thing I forgot: the sneaks here are tax free, so the list price is what you pay. No worries about calculating extra expense.
The obvious problem with sneakers are always selection. Shoes are shoes; you have your brown, black; all conservative, all classic, and it just depends on your style of shoe. With sneakers, I’ll start with a basic idea of the style of the sneaker, but I can never seem to find the right color or combination.
I did indeed buy a pair of Pumas here today; however, besides the friendly, if oversaturated sales reps, the store is just laid out terribly. Why bother making the store really narrow? You know that tourists are coming in droves so functionality should have been their number one priority. I actually didn’t find the music that loud, probably because I went alone and was very preoccupied.
I’m very happy with the pair I bought though; it’s got a good color combination and I just like them. I was luckier than some of the other reviewers here haha.
I also find Pumas not so good if you have foot problems or particularly flat feet or wide feet; New Balance is always good with those, however Pumas I think always decide that not only should you be skinny, your feet should be skinny too. I have flat feet, but not wide like my dad. I think he would hate their shoes. Some Pumas have wider soles but for the most part with a lot of their more stylish sneaks the soles are skinny.
They also sell assorted clothing (with Ducati in partnership). Tempting for a soccer look (considering soccer/​football is what they really made their name in way back when).

I like the puma store alright. I would definantly like it more if it wasn’t a trap for tourists. I like how they have the dj, but it can get a little loud. Besides that, i think they have every puma in current production.

I hate this store more than life itself.
It’s ear piercingly loud upstairs (pointless DJ at all times), and downstairs is too narrow and full of confused tourists. I don’t see how they ever sell anything, it’s a total mess in that place.
Puma Black in the meatpacking district is way, way better. Though, the sneakers there cost like $ 200, so.

Always a great place to check out pumas collection of shoes and some fashion.
I love the layout of the store with all th pimpin new shoes in the basement.
Every so oftern, they’ll have a DJ live.
Can get crowded downstairs, but nothing like seeing a couple hundred pairs of pumas on a wall.

Oh Come on I like the Puma Store, I always have fun there, because of things like a DJ whos waaay too into his storefront gig, a cool dog, the awesome Puma designed Mini cooper they had for a while (Note to gearheads I am now fully over Minis although they are bitchin to drive). There is always something amusing happening there. The clothes can be a bit out there but I generally like them (a bit too $$$ I must say). The shoes on the other hand have taken a dramatic turn towards the German gay ballerina market segment and frankly I don’t want my feet to look «dainty and sleek.» What happened to the cool Cell running shoes and the californias?

If you want to simply find yourself in the company of young hipsters and pay full price, you should go to this flagship store by all means. Assuming you can contend with the limited assortment (this store probably has the fewest number of shoes per cubic foot of any shoe store I know).
If not, take your business elsewhere – like David Z or even the nearby Bloomindgale’s. You might even save some money.
