Which is better for the gym?

The Softride Enzo 5. Its EVA midsole and TPU midfoot cage handle lifting and cardio better than the Speedcat's thin, flat sole.

The Speedcat OG's suede and leather upper ages better as a casual shoe. The Enzo 5's mesh wears faster if you train in it daily.

Is the Speedcat good for walking all day?

Not really. It is low to the ground with little cushioning, so it suits short errands and casual wear more than long days on your feet.

Does the Speedcat fit true to size?

It runs slim and close. Average and narrow feet can take their usual size; wider feet should go up a half size.

Is the Enzo 5 worth stepping up to over the Speedcat?

If you want one shoe for workouts and everyday wear, yes. If you mainly want a stylish low-top, the Speedcat is the better fit.

Can the Enzo 5 be worn casually?

Yes. The streamlined build works as a casual sneaker, though the mesh and training look is sportier than the Speedcat.

Puma Softride Enzo 5 vs Puma Speedcat OG

The Softride Enzo 5 is the better pick for training, walking and long days on your feet. Its Softride EVA midsole, TPU midfoot cage and breathable mesh upper give cushioning and stability the Speedcat does not try to offer. The Speedcat OG is a slim, low motorsport-inspired low-top in suede and leather, and owners rate it slightly higher for style and build. Buy the Speedcat for looks and casual wear, the Enzo 5 for movement.

Choose the Softride Enzo 5 if you want one shoe for the gym, commuting and everyday walking, with cushioning and a stable midfoot.
Choose the Speedcat OG if you want a slim suede low-top for casual outfits and don't need training cushioning.
