The first pair felt very comfortable out of the box and I have worn it about 10 times and walked about 5-10 miles (indoors and out) in them without any problems. I commute by foot everyday and log about 12-15 miles per week in my shoes. In a few trips to work in these shoes it passed all my litmus tests: my feet never hurt, they fit like a glove, am able walk at full speed without feeling unbalanced or awkward, shoes don't yet look worn.
Because of this positive experience I bought the Black with the Red trim. These arrived and felt significantly tighter and more narrow than the Black/Yellow pair (I remember how the Black/Yellow felt out of the box, and am not mistakenly comparing a broken-in pair to a brand new pair.).
The Black/Red pair are breaking in OK, and I will be able to wear them around the neighborhood, but they are just tight enough that my feet occasionally hurt after more than 15 minutes of continuous walking.
If you don't have any width issues in your foot, you might never know the difference, but I unfortunately did.
You get what you pay for in a Chinese-made mass-produced shoe; some production inconsistencies are bound to happen. Nevertheless I am pretty loyal to Puma as far as casual/sporty Chinese-made shoes go, and this experience wasn't bad enough to change that.
Problems aside I am already looking at a 3rd color combination!

After reading a different comments, I went for a size next to mine. My usual size is 9.5 and I ordered one for 10. It fits perfectly. If your foot is broad, probably you shouldn't go for this.Pros: Style, soft, feels like walking on a carpet
Con: size is deceiving you need to be more careful
Best Deals on PUMA Men's Drift Cat 4 Winter Race Sneaker
After owning a pair of Drift Cat IIIs in leather for just about two years, making them the longest lasting pair of mass-produced shoes I've ever had, it was time for an upgrade so I picked up a pair of these.Like most racing-inspired Pumas they run very narrow, but my feet aren't wide to start with so I'm okay with that.
I haven't had these Drift Cat 4 WinterRaces long yet but the "winter race" style already has a noticeably thicker sole than the others did. The thicker sole makes the shoe feel more traditional and spongy and probably is a bit more comfortable for people who are used to standard "supportive" shoes. On the flip side, a thicker sole also makes the shoes a little less awesome for driving.
The style of stitching on the uppers combined with vent holes and shiny leather makes the shoe look a lot dressier than the Drift Cat IIIs.
Overall I think these are high-quality value shoes like most of the other leather race Pumas. They feel very solid and if my last pair was any indication, will hold up great.
