Full breakdown

adidas Puig Indoor is Lucas Puig's indoor-court vulc signature: slim leather upper, low-cut padded collar, gum vulc sole, and an unusually light overall build that puts it in the same casual-skate lane as the Samba. Owners specifically chase the look as a comfortable chiller and use them for light skate sessions, though the outsole tread is sometimes called the weak link I wish the outsoles on the Puigs had more grip but they're fine enough, all very comfortable to chill in. Buy it as a Samba-shaped skate-leaning daily; skip it if you need cushioned cupsole support.

FAQ

Can I actually skate the Puig Indoor, or is it just a chiller?

You can skate it for light park and street sessions, but the shallow vulc outsole is the limiting factor for heavy use. A multi-pair owner skated some and kept others purely casual i have one pair to skate in and one to wear casually, and another owner cycling Samba/Busenitz/Tyshawn II called Puig comfortable to chill in but wished for more outsole grip I wish the outsoles on the Puigs had more grip but they're fine enough. Buy it as a daily skater for street and ledge work; use a Busenitz or Tyshawn for stairs.

How does Puig Indoor compare to adidas Busenitz, Tyshawn Low, and Forum Low 84?

Puig Indoor is the lightest and slimmest of these adidas Skateboarding picks; Busenitz Vulc is the durable workhorse, Tyshawn Low is the chunkier cupsole, and Forum Low 84 is the basketball-rooted style pick. The standing-all-day shoe thread put all four side by side as candidates Puig indoor, Tyshawn low, Busenitz vulc 2.0, Forum low 84 advance and the consensus pushed toward Ultraboost-class cushioning for true all-day standing, with Puig Indoor better as a daily-skater than a stand-all-day work shoe.

Is Puig Indoor comfortable for daily wear?

Yes for daily city wear, no for standing on concrete all day. Owners specifically call Puig Indoor light and comfortable for chilling and casual rotation all very comfortable to chill in. If you need a work shoe for long shifts on hard floors, the standing-all-day thread surfaced Ultraboost or Pureboost as the more honest pick because the vulc sole on Puig Indoor offers limited foam.

How should I size Puig Indoor?

Size true to size to your regular adidas Originals if you have a standard-to-narrow foot. A long-time owner with both his and hers pairs described the shoe as "super light" and held the same TTS sizing across casual and skate pairs super light shoe, one pair to skate in and one to wear casually. Wide-foot buyers who go +0.5 on Sambas should hold that habit; the bigger fit question is whether you can tolerate the slim Originals toe box.

Should I buy Puig Indoor at retail or wait for a sale?

Wait for sale; the Puig Indoor moves through adidas's discount channel reliably and owners who collect multiple colorways stock during seasonal drops. A multi-pair owner who has Puigs + Samba + Busenitz + Tyshawn II's already got a few skate sessions in some of these shows you can build a rotation cheaply if you buy off-season. Pay retail only for a colorway you specifically want and that is selling out at adidas.com.
