Wore my new pair right out of the box today and walked 18 - my feet haven't felt so good after walking 18 in years.
What an unbelievable pair of shoes. Their styling isn't for everyone (very Euro) but if you can get past the somewhat quirky look, you could hike up Half Dome in these things and not feel 'em. Thing is, they don't LOOK like they should be as comfy as they are (the sole design looks like it's straight out of Joan Miro's basement), but they offer perfect cushioning and support.

I'm not a fan of the style of the Saddles, but completely agree with you as to the comfort of Puma golf shoes. I have the PG GTX's, as well as the GTX Breezes (not to mention JL Classics), and they are all very comfortable -- and grippy.
Those Leeres look cool, too..

Hey, do the Puma golf shoes run narrow? I see that they offer a wide option which is great for my size 14 (it's hard to find 14 wide in stylish golf shoes). I can wear mediums in some brands but I know that Puma's are supposed to be more European in fit.

Yep, they're on the narrower side. Opt for the wide if you normally need a wider shoe.

I don't mean to show my clothing ignorance more like I have in the past, but I would like to know what makes a piece of clothing "Euro"? This is not a knock on the post, it's a real question. You can say that my clothing style is a bit "meat and potatoes" I suppose. Solid color masculine color polo and khaki shorts or pants with FJ Contour saddles.

When someone say a piece of clothing is euro, I always picture form fitting, more intricate design and not frumpy.

I do tuck in my shirt like the guy all the way to the right. However, I don't wear anything like those Euro guys. Reminds me of the whole "Golf requires plaid pants and a huge @55. You should talk to my neighbor the accountant. Huge @55." Also, I'm a little bigger than those guys.
Anyway, thanks for answering my question. There has to be a mild Euro look that would be a little more stylish without being too plain, but not too, umm, outrageous.

Polo sells golf shirts (polos) in a "European" cut along with its standard cut shirt, and the euros have shorter short sleeves, and are much more form-fitting. You can get a good sense of what the term means by looking at what some of the Swedes on the Tour(s) are wearing.
As for calling SHOES "euro," I think the poster was describing the fact that the Pumas are simply pretty funky looking (more stylish). I get razzed for my Pumas constantly. LOL
