The Puma Store

loved the selection and the help.

I love Puma! And this store! Puma has helped me on my path towards embracing exercise — through brightly colored athletic gear and apparel. It took me years to develop a mindset that truly enjoys fitness and exercise, but now that I’m little miss can’t sit still or stay inside for too long I need gear that can handle my activities while staying true to my personality. And I love colors (I’m an artist, so sue me).
Their sneakers are quite comfortable, and give me great support for all of my cardio-​cross training classes. And with bright, fun colors on your feet you just feel happier and the mood boost makes you move faster and for longer (or so I like to claim). I’ve even gotten my bf to start shopping there, although he goes after more of their everyday sneakers. He’d love to try some of their funkier color combos, but we agreed that it didn’t work with his weekly wardrobe… or him at all.
The staff there is great, too. Very friendly and helpful, we kept cracking jokes with the salespeople helping us try on various styles. Plus, the Puma store seems to regularly have sales and there’s nothing better than paying less for anything. Oh, and I love cats. But that doesn’t really have anything to do with the store.

I expected more from a store located in the heart of Walnut shopping district. Yes the design is nice, the ambiance is pleasant with a lot of fluorescent light and roomy feel even though the place is more deep than wide, but the fact that the outlet store has three times the selection of the same collection gives no excuse! I want my puma’s and yes while I can always get my «Speed Cat» or «Drift Cat» in this location, I’d like to have some extra variety.
P.S: It does look like their women’s department is large.

The salespeople were super nice and patient, and dealt with my request to try on four pairs of shoes just before closing on a Sunday evening. They even let me know that there was another color of a shoe I was trying on that wasn’t on display, and that ended up being the one I got. AND they clued me in on a secret deal – $ 25 off $ 100 purchase, and since my shoes were $ 78, that meant I got a $ 22 shirt for free! Love the new sneakers – my boyfriend saw them and said they’re way too cool for me!

The only place for shoes.

I was looking for a birthday gift for my brother so wandered into this store the other day. Right away I found something he would like, which was awesome. The store had a lot of great stuff but the prices were a bit ridic for things like basic t-​shirts.
Like the previous poster said, there is definitely a hipster-​type vibe here~ but nothing wins a hipster over faster than when you compliment the music selection (especially when it’s coming direct from his ipod– bonus points!!!).
I’m just kidding~ the guy who worked there was super nice and even wrote down the name of the cd for me (Different Class by Pulp). That little act of kindness made my day, and my bro loved his new hat!

Most people love The Puma Store… this recently opened designer boutique for kicks, jackets, and other schwag was to Walnut what Adidas is to South.
To their credit, they have a nice selection of classics, present day pieces, and even things that you never knew Puma made. For lack of a better, it’s just a little too «Party Boy» in here for me.
The music is loud, the cologne is heavy, and the hipster-​chic factor is off the meter. If you know you need Pumas, go online. If you’re browsing/​cruising Walnut, stop in. Still… I miss traditional shoe-​slangers.
