Not all footwear brands have the same sizes. If you look at Puma shoes, they fit narrower than Adidas but run the same as Nike.
In general, most Puma shoes run smaller than true to size. The German brand sizes are around one to half a size down compared to true-to-size brands.
But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered in this post: you’ll find the Puma size chart and a comparison between different brands’ and Puma sizes! 👟
Do Puma shoes run big or small?
Most Puma shoes tend to run smaller than true to size because they are narrow in the toe box. It is the same for the sneakers’ width in general; Puma shoes are a bit narrower than the medium/standard width.
When choosing Puma shoes, I recommend you go at least half a size up or try to find a wider width size.
And if you’re between two sizes, you’d better go half a size up to avoid feeling too tight in your Puma shoes.
However, like any other brand, the fit and size vary according to your chosen model. For instance, Puma running shoes run a bit small, while the Puma Future Rider fits true to size.
But to ensure you choose the right size and that there are no differences with your regular size, check the Puma size chart below.

How do Puma shoes fit compared to Adidas?
Puma shoes tend to fit narrower than Adidas, especially in the toe box. But the best is to refer to both brands’ size charts to see the difference. For instance:
- A men’s size 11 at Adidas measures 28 cm
- A men’s size 11 at Puma measures 29 cm
So Puma shoes run bigger than Adidas in length.
How do Puma shoes fit compared to Nike?
Puma shoes fit the same as Nike. They both are narrow. They also both run smaller than true to size. It’s best if you check both brands’ size charts to see if there are differences. For instance :
- A men’s size 11 at Nike measures 29 cm
- A men’s size 11 at Puma measures 29 cm
Then Puma shoes fit the same as Nike in terms of length.
Famous Puma sneakers sizing guide
Puma Suede
The Puma Suede has a lot of space due to its shape and width. Then the shoe fits true to size in length but still is a bit narrower than other brands.
Then if you have wide feet, I recommend you go half a size up than a true-to-size shoe.
Puma RS-X
There are a lot of Puma RS-X models, but generally, the collection is uncomfortable for wide feet. Why? Because of the shoes’ multiple layers.
Overall they are true to size, but you should go half a size up or a size up if you have extremely wide feet. The best remains to find bigger width sizes than going up in size.
Puma Future Rider
The Puma Future Rider fits true to size. Hence, you don’t need to size up or down; choose your usual size.
But they can feel narrow on the toe box if you have extremely wide feet. That’s why I recommend you go half a size up if that’s your case.
Puma R78
The Puma R78 is quite wide due to its elastic mesh upper part. Then your feet will have enough space to feel comfortable inside.
The shoe fits true to size, so you don’t need to size up or down!
Puma Roma
The Puma Roma also fits true to size and is more comfortable than other Puma shoes, thanks to its soft insoles.
The Romas fit narrow, especially if you have wide feet. However, they stretch a bit after wearing them for a few months. But it’s still best for you to go half a size up.
Puma Clyde
Like most Puma shoes, the Puma Clyde has a narrow fit on the toe box. They also run small, so I recommend you go at least half a size up or a size up if you have wide feet.
Tips for finding your right Puma shoe size
Measure your feet
It will help you find your foot length and choose the right size! To measure your feet, follow these steps:
- Take a ruler or a measuring tape and a pencil
- Stand against a wall with your feet flat
- Your heel must touch the wall
- Put a sheet of paper under your feet
- Draw the outline of your two feet
- Then measure the length from the heel to your longest toe
- You can also measure your width from your feet’s two widest points
When you’ve written down your heel-to-toe length, refer to the Puma size chart to find your correct size.
Puma sports shoes don’t fit the same
The fit will differ depending on the Puma sports shoes you pick. For instance:
- Puma golf shoes have a regular width and fit true to size
- Puma basketball shoes fit true to size
- Puma running shoes are a bit narrow but fit true to size
- Puma soccer shoes tend to fit true to size
- Etc.
Try on the shoes in-store
It’s the best thing to do to ensure you choose the correct size. Even if you want to order the shoe online, go in-store first, try the sneakers, and find the right size before buying it online.
Trying the shoes before buying them on a website will help you to avoid choosing the wrong size. This is annoying because you must return the shoe and wait until you receive the new one in the correct size.
Go in-store and put the shoes on. Hence, you can see how it fits and feels on your feet. Walk around with the sneakers, so you have a better feeling.
If you can’t go in-store, I advise you to read several consumer reviews about the shoes you want. Also, check some YouTube reviews; they’re always great if you want to know more about the fitting and the sizing of specific shoes.
Remember that the more information you have about the shoes, the better!
Conclusion
Puma shoes tend to run smaller than true to size because they mostly have narrow toe boxes. But to make sure you choose the right size for your Puma shoes, it is best to try them on.
And to avoid sizing mistakes, you can measure your feet at home (that’s quick and easy) and directly refer to the Puma size chart.
Overall, I recommend you go half a size up in Puma shoes if you have wide feet. But the best is to find wide-width sizes!
