About

The comfort cushioning, not one shoe

Puma Softride is not a single model but a range of comfortable sneakers from Puma, built around the Softride cushioning. Softride is Puma’s soft midsole foam, focused on comfort and a smooth roll for everyday use, walking and light training. Under that name fall multiple shoes, from the Softride Rift to the Softride Enzo NXT, each with the same idea: an affordable, comfortable shoe to walk in for long periods.

Softride foam underfoot

The common thread is the Softride midsole. The foam is tuned for soft cushioning and a comfortable step, so the shoes stay pleasant all day long. Above it is usually a lightweight mesh upper that keeps the foot cool, in a low or slightly higher, sock-like shape. The emphasis is on comfort and ease.

Multiple shoes, one family

The line includes varied models. The Softride Rift is a lightweight, lace-up sneaker, the Softride Enzo NXT has a sock-like, easy-to-slip-on shape, and there are several women’s and kids’ versions. What ties them together is the Softride cushioning and the comfort approach, not a single fixed form. Note the addition after Softride when choosing.

Puma’s accessible comfort corner

The Softride shoes belong to Puma’s affordable, comfort-oriented sneakers, alongside models like the everyday Electrify Nitro and the lightweight Wired Run. Where the Electrify aims at real running cushioning, the Softride models are about everyday comfort and a soft step.

What varies by version

The Softride cushioning and the focus on comfort remain the common thread. What varies is the specific model, from Rift to Enzo NXT, the shape (low or sock-like), the size run and the colorways. On this page the Softride shoes are grouped together so you can compare them side by side.
