Is the Puma Basket Platform Core good for everyday wear?

Yes. It is a lifestyle sneaker with a leather upper and a padded platform sole, suited to casual walking and streetwear. The thick sole makes it heavier and stiffer than a flat sneaker.

Can I play basketball in these?

No. Despite the basketball label, the Basket Platform Core is a fashion shoe with a raised platform sole. It lacks the cushioning, traction and stability of a real basketball shoe.

How much height does the platform add?

Puma's Basket Platform line typically lifts the foot roughly an inch to an inch and a half off the ground. Exact heel height for this model is not stated in the listing.

The Basket Platform runs close to standard women's sizing, and the lace-up leather upper gives a snug fit. Shoppers between sizes often size up, especially with thicker socks.

One pair of Puma Basket Platform Core shoes in the listed size and color. No extra laces or accessories are included.

When is the price lowest?

Platform sneakers from past seasons tend to drop during end-of-season sales and around major shopping events. Check the price history before buying.

Our take on the Puma Basket Platform Core Women's Shoes

The Puma Basket Platform Core is a women's leather sneaker built on a thick platform sole, a lifted take on Puma's classic Basket court silhouette. It pairs a lace-up leather upper with a rubber platform outsole and leather insole, in a gold colorway. The listing shows size 6 B(M). It is a lifestyle shoe styled after basketball, not a performance court shoe.
