FAQ

Does PUMA NZ stock wide fit sneakers for both sport and everyday wear?

Yes, absolutely. We know that the demands you have for your everyday sneakers can vary a lot to what you need from running shoes, which is why we’ve given you a diverse range across a number of sports - along with plenty for everyday wear. 

Whether you’re looking for performance shoes for running, training, or the gym, or just want a more comfortable yet stylish fresh pair for casual, everyday wear, you’ll find them here. The collection is carefully curated so Kiwis can enjoy comfort and support no matter their pace or plans, whether it’s for a workout, a stroll in town, or unwinding on the weekend. 

How do PUMA’s wide fit designs cater to New Zealanders with broader feet?

Our wide fit shoes deliver all the innovative and advanced fabric technology, design, and style that you’d expect from our regular or slim fit shoes. The key difference is you can get something that’s just right for the width of your feet, without requiring you to end up with shoes that are too long or loose in other areas. You can expect the same sporty look with everything from tailored uppers to supportive insoles, including the likes of our NITROFOAM support and PWRPLATE for better propulsion when you’re getting into your stride. 

What are the most popular wide fit PUMA sneakers trending this year?

The current favourites we’re seeing - both amongst regular fit wearers and those looking for wide fit shoes - include the lowkey minimalist looks, and shoes with retro inspiration. When it comes to options that deliver performance at the gym, while still giving the look you want with everyday wear, NITRO running shoes are long-standing firm favourites. With their supportive designs, snug but flexible and responsive fit, they can go with you from the gym to the streets, giving you the comfort and look you want every step of the way. 

Which PUMA wide fit options are best for weekend wear around town or at the bach?

If you’re looking for something lightweight, airy, and easy to wear on the coastal walks or the beach itself, look for our wide fit shoes with BREATHABILITY uppers. Designed with a loose-weave but sturdy mesh, they let your feet flex and breathe on those hot walks in the summer months. Equally, for extended walks or trips, any of our wide fit shoes with CMEVA in the soles, which is our lightweight insole that gently molds to your foot, gives you lightweight, everyday performance for those low intensity workouts or long walks with friends. 

And, for those days where you’re heading by the water and want something easy to slip on, don’t forget your favourite pair of slides - an ideal choice when you’re near the water. 

Do PUMA wide fit shoes feature the same performance tech as regular-fit styles?

Absolutely. PUMA offers advanced support, breathability, propulsion and flex in all of our shoes, going beyond just slim fit and regular fit to include wide fit shoes. You can expect to see all of our innovative technologies like ProFoam, NITROFOAM and PWRPLATE, which provide responsive support, long-lasting comfort, and help you push further and go faster. Whether you’re at the gym, on the trails, or enjoying an active day out, PUMA sneakers and training shoes will help you get to where you need to be.

How do I pick the right wide fit sneaker for trail walks, gym sessions, or casual wear in New Zealand?

Choosing the perfect wide fit sneaker starts with your lifestyle needs. For trail walks, look for models with rugged soles and breathable uppers, especially those that include PUMAGRIP ATR, which gives you outstanding traction across rocky, slippery, and uneven surfaces. No matter whether you’re training weights or are running on the treadmill, when it comes to gym sessions, we recommend choosing a pair with enhanced stability and responsive cushioning. 

If you’re after something for everyday or casual wear, the best choice really comes down to how you want to style your shoes with your fit. PUMA NZ’s range is designed to suit Kiwi life, so there’s a wide fit shoe to match every activity and every personal style, no matter whether that’s to match your gym gear, or your favourite tracksuit when you’re lounging at home.
