Category Performance Ratings
8.5
Traction
Multidirectional traction pattern with standard rubber. Excellent bite on clean courts but inconsistent and dust-sensitive, causing occasional sliding.
8.6
Cushion
Lightweight foam with a stiff shank and cushioned insole. Very bouncy, responsive, and protective while sitting higher off the court.
7.1
Materials
Minimal synthetic upper with reinforcement overlays. Feels inexpensive to some reviewers and limits long-term durability despite adequate padding.
8.5
Support
Rubber overlays, tie-down system, and firm heel counter. Provides strong lateral containment and reliable lockdown for quick movement.
8.4
Fit
True to size with a snug, one-to-one fit. Toe box is tighter for some but overall lockdown is secure with little break-in.
0%
Outdoor
Standard court rubber with poor outdoor durability. Reviewers advise against outdoor use due to rapid wear and reduced traction.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most players. Narrow and medium widths should stick to TTS; wide feet may consider half size up.
narrow
wide
Width
Best for narrow to regular widths. Wide-foot players may need to go up half a size or seek a wider option.

Overall, I really like the way the Puma TRC Blaze Court performs. My only gripe is that you sit high on the midsole, but that didn't hinder performance. You feel agile and supported.

I've barely got to test these out. They fit comfy, and I had high hopes. Expect after 2 practice session and the following match, the sole already came apart. The literally didn't make it 1 week. I expect this to be an outlier in quality/bad glueing, but I cannot recommend these based on my experience lasting this little.

 These shoes are great when you’re fresh on the court. But when you get tired, the lack of cushioning really starts wearing down your feet. I get blisters every time I play in them. If you have a lot of stamina, I recommend them, but if not, I would stay away. They’re also beginning to rip by the eyelets.

puma made a very good effort with this shoe but the materials are not good at all, I had to change 2 pairs of shoes because the sole came off from the bottom on both. they were very comfortable for me even if they didn't have the best traction. I took Luka 1 and calmed down

The shoes were alright but the durability is terrible, I had two pairs because they sent me a replacement pair, both times the tread came off within 4 games right where the plate is exposed.
