Puma Club 5v5 Sizing Guide: Does It Run Small or True to Size?

Fit Notes

Puma Palermo

The Puma Palermo runs truer to size and is recognized for having a roomier midfoot profile. Because the Club 5v5 utilizes a narrower last and stiffer synthetic materials that do not stretch, users must scale up a half-size (+0.5) from their Palermo size to achieve equivalent comfort and prevent lateral pinching.

Adidas Samba

While both models occupy the low-profile terrace category, the Adidas Samba features a more pliable upper that stretches naturally over time. The Puma Club 5v5 is slightly shorter in total length and considerably stiffer. Therefore, even if you tolerate the narrow width of a standard Samba, you must size up a half-size in the Club 5v5 to secure vital lateral relief and stop your toes from pressing against the front of the toe box.

Nike Dunk Low

The Nike Dunk Low features a standard D-width basketball silhouette that fits true to size with ample toe splay room. Because Puma's lifestyle lasts are globally narrower than Nike's standard D-width, a half-size increase in the Club 5v5 is required to match the midfoot width and structural freedom provided by a standard Dunk Low.

Puma Suede Classic

The Puma Suede Classic is built on a standard, roomier last and features an un-coated suede upper that yields easily to the foot. The Club 5v5 is significantly narrower and structured with rigid synthetic overlays. Suede Classic wearers must size up a half-size to offset this lack of elasticity and avoid severe lateral constriction.
