Traction
Blade traction pattern with firm rubber. Reliable grip on clean courts, improves with use, slightly dust-sensitive.
7.0
Cushion
Very firm foam midsole with added heel padding. High court feel with low rebound and limited forefoot protection.
8.3
Materials
Textile and synthetic leather upper. Feels cheap in-hand for some colorways but breaks in; leather variants are sturdier.
9.0
Support
Heel counters, wide solid base, and deep foot placement. Very stable and locked-in feel despite no outrigger.
9.0
Fit
Runs true to size with snug, no-dead-space fit and excellent lockdown. Thick heel foam prevents heel slip.

The Puma Uproar is a fun shoe! If you are looking for a moderately-cushioned shoe with near-perfect lockdown and traction, look no further.

Puma really has impressed me quite a bit. The cushioning could be a little better, but everything else worked perfectly!

Initially, I slipped a little bit, but it seemed like the rubber became better the more I played in them.

The Blade traction pattern worked reliably on all courts I played on.

On a clean court, you get good stops and even on dusty courts, it's never horrible. But even if you wipe a lot, you will never feel glued to the floor.

The heel cushioning is nice, but I'd wish there was a little more impact protection in the forefoot.
 More details
The cushioning setup is pretty firm and provides a lot of court feel but only very little bounce back.

The cushioning is super firm and compresses very little. Court feel is good and impact protection wasn't horrible, but this shoe just doesn't feel comfortable.

Materials differ from colorway to colorway. I like the synthetic leather/leather materials and old-school construction of the "Palace Guard" colorway.

Once the materials are broken-in you are good to go!

A very stable and supportive shoe thanks to the wide, solid base and the way your feet sit deep in the midsole.
 More details
There are heel counters and a stable, wide base for stability - but no outrigger.

The thick foam wraps on the heel and ankle prevent any side-to-side movement or heel slip and the lacing system provides a ton of lockdown.
 More details
Lockdown is awesome and the lacing system works perfectly from ankle to forefoot.

The rubber is solid and should last for at least a few months outdoors
 More details
This shoe is a decent option for outdoor play because the rubber is pretty hard.
