This brown suede Puma Speedcat Wedge hides roughly 5 cm of lift inside the classic low silhouette, and the public record covers fit, comfort and suede care rather than hype. It suits short-wear styling on a heel-angled footbed; try your usual size, half a size up for a high instep or wide feet.

Pros
Cons
Fit notes
Most buyers take their usual size, including two Revolve reviewers who tagged the suede version true to size. High insteps and wide feet should go half a size up or more; a 24.8 cm foot settled on 25 cm. Others report it runs small or pushes the big toe, so check the return window before wearing them outside.
Buy if
You want the Speedcat shape with concealed height for evenings, commuting or styling under wide-leg trousers and cargo pants, and you accept a heel-angled footbed plus suede upkeep. Reviewers describe the weight sitting over the heel, a padded footbed and a soft collar that does not rub.
Skip if
You need all-day walking, long standing shifts or anything athletic: reviewers describe forefoot pressure and tired soles over longer days, and the wedge raises ankle-roll risk. Skip it too if you dislike brushing lint and dust off suede or want a rain-ready shoe.

Buying FAQ
Reports are mixed. Two Revolve reviewers tagged the suede version true to size, while a Puma reviewer called it "Run small" and a Journeys buyer said her usual size pushed on her big toe. High insteps and wide feet are advised to go half a size up or more.
A buyer review of the Speedcat Wedge OG puts the concealed lift at about 5 cm while the shoe keeps the classic Speedcat silhouette, which stays hidden under long trousers.
Buyers describe the inside as angled like a high heel, putting pressure on the forefoot and tiring the soles over extended walking. They suit shorter wear rather than long walking days, and a reviewer advises against running or jumping in them.
A Japanese fit guide suggests lacing the second and third eyelets a little tighter for hold, or looser if that creates pressure. It also warns that thick or woolly socks catch and make the shoe hard to put on.
A Journeys reviewer of the brown Speedcat Wedge describes it as reading grayish-brown in some light and more brown in others, so expect a muted rather than deep brown.
One buyer review says the suede picks up lint, hair and dust very easily and needs careful upkeep, and another notes it is not something to wear in the rain, suggesting a protective treatment.

SourceA Puma product-page reviewer says the Speedcat Wedge OG was comfortable for only a few evening hours of easy walking at a theme park before becoming uncomfortable, because the inside is angled like a high heel and puts more pressure on the front of the foot.
SourceA Zappos reviewer of the Speedcat Wedge praises the weight staying over the heel rather than the forefoot, a well-padded footbed, and a soft, puffy padded collar that does not rub the ankles; she owns both the silver and taupe colorways.
SourceA Japanese fit guide notes that with this hidden-wedge heel the foot slides forward, and suggests lacing the 2nd–3rd eyelets a bit tighter for hold (or looser if pressure hurts), and warns that thick or woolly socks catch and make the shoe hard to put on.
