Puma Ignite PWRADAPT - Replacement/similar shoe

[tk21]

Hello -

 

I am in the market for some new shoes. I went to my local PGA toursuperstore, but did not find anything I liked. I previously owned the Puma Ignite Pwradapt shoes. I loved these shoes bc they had great traction, with replaceable spikes and still felt low to the ground. I have tried a lot of spikeless shoes and just do not like them. Other spiked shoes seem to feel like "boots" and you are so high off the ground. The problem with these shoes is that the spike is glued on. So while I got about a year of use out them, when I lost a spike - I lost the whole spike and "spike holding mechanism", so I couldn't even buy or insert a replacement spike.

 

Any suggestions?

My advice is to wait until the new year (or close to it) when the 2020 shoes come out. Right now you will mainly look at dwindling 2019 stock which means there are deals to be had, but only if you like what you see on the shelves.

Out of curiosity, where did you buy them? That was a common problem and Puma may replace it.

I bought them from the pgatour superstore, but I just threw them away to save suitcase space. I thought about trying to do the warranty stuff but decided against it.

Call or email puma, that's what I did and they replaced it. Other option is to use a very strong adhesive

I've actually gotten a replacement by calling also, but that was years ago

That really shouldn't matter, I've gotten replacements by contacting their customer service email address, usually all they want is a receipt, which if you have it you should be all set. They ship them out for free and fast too.

Just bought UA HOVR and the NB Tour.

 

HOVR were a 1/2 size big but close to the ground.

 

NB remind me of my ASICS but lighter.

 

Keeping both.

Nike Tour Premiere. Fit and feel is very similar, great looks.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I was able to speak with puma and they are covering the shoes under warranty with just a receipt of purchase! What great customer service! Also got this piece of information from them regarding the shoes:

 

The proadapts and pwradapt have different spike housing systems. The proadapts from this season are more of a performance oriented shoe and the spikes have stayed intact more successfully in these. With the pwradapts, the shoe was designed around performance and comfort. With that being said, since we were striving for comfort in the pwradapt, the spike housing system was a bit weaker and we saw a few pairs come back with the pods falling out. We have corrected this issue for next years pwradapt which should be releasing early next year! I would feel confident in the durability for either of these models in the years to come.

I had this happen to me and emailed puma and they sent me a replacement pair for free. Happened again a couple months later, emailed again and we agreed to try the NXT spikeless and they sent that 2 day air. Love the shoe, but the customer service even more. Thanks Puma!
