Our take on the Puma R78 Gravity Lace Up Sneakers

The Puma R78 Gravity is a low-profile retro runner inspired by late-1970s Puma running shoes, built on a slim rubber outsole with a foam insole and a lace-up upper. It sits in Puma's lifestyle range alongside the RS and Rider lines, but it is lighter and flatter than those chunky runners, so it reads more as a casual everyday shoe than a cushioned walker. It suits people who want a clean vintage silhouette for city wear, and it is a reasonable pick for narrow-to-average feet. Rivals in the same retro-runner space offer more cushioning and support, so choose this one for looks and simplicity rather than long-distance comfort.

Questions and answers

Is the Puma R78 Gravity good for running?
No. It is a lifestyle shoe with a flat rubber outsole and thin foam insole, not a training runner. Use it for walking and casual wear.
How does it fit compared with other Puma sneakers?
It runs on the narrow side. If you have wide feet or wear thick socks, consider going up half a size.
Does it have arch support?
Support is minimal. The foam insole is thin, so people with flat feet or plantar issues may want an aftermarket insole.
What is the upper made of?
The R78 Gravity uses a mix of synthetic and textile panels in a retro runner layout. It is not leather.
Can I wear it for long days on my feet?
For short errands and commutes, yes. For all-day standing or long walks, a cushioned runner or walking shoe will be more comfortable.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap, and air-dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash.
Where is the Puma R78 Gravity Lace Up Sneakers cheapest?
At Shoebacca, for $29.95, as of our latest check.
