Where to Find PUMA Shoes in South Carolina

PUMA locations and how to shop for them in South Carolina

PUMA shoes are sold at several types of stores across South Carolina: department stores like Dillard's and Macy's, sporting goods retailers including Dick's Sporting Goods and Foot Locker, and outlet malls in Myrtle Beach and Charleston. You can also order online from PUMA's official website or through retailers like Amazon and Zappos, with delivery to your home. The shoe brand carries running shoes, basketball shoes, casual sneakers, and athletic apparel, so your shopping experience depends on what type of store you visit and what style you're looking for.

South Carolina has two major outlet destinations where PUMA often operates: Tanger Outlets in Myrtle Beach (on North Kings Highway) and Tanger Outlets in Charleston (on Folly Road). Outlet locations typically offer lower prices than full-price retailers, though inventory varies by season. If you prefer to try shoes on before buying, department stores and sporting goods shops let you see the full range in person, while online ordering works best if you already know your size and style.

Key Takeaways

  • Tanger Outlets in Myrtle Beach and Charleston often carry PUMA at discounted prices compared to full-price stores.
  • You can order PUMA shoes online from the brand's official website, Amazon, or Zappos and have them shipped to your South Carolina address.

Dick's Sporting Goods and Foot Locker locations

Dick's Sporting Goods carries PUMA running shoes, training shoes, and basketball models at most of its South Carolina locations. The chain has stores in Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Myrtle Beach, and Spartanburg, among others. Staff at Dick's can help you find shoes for specific activities—whether you need trail running shoes, cross-training shoes, or everyday athletic sneakers—and they often have loyalty programs that offer discounts on future purchases.

Foot Locker specializes in athletic and basketball shoes and stocks PUMA alongside other major brands. You'll find Foot Locker locations in shopping centers across the state, particularly in larger cities and malls. Both retailers typically have fitting services, so you can get your foot measured and try on multiple sizes to find the right fit.

Department stores and outlet malls

Dillard's and Macy's carry PUMA shoes in their athletic and casual shoe sections, with locations in most major South Carolina cities. These stores tend to stock lifestyle and casual PUMA styles rather than specialized performance shoes, making them a good choice if you're looking for everyday sneakers or fashion-forward athletic wear. Department store staff can help you navigate sizing and style options.

Tanger Outlets in Myrtle Beach and Charleston both feature PUMA outlet stores where prices are typically 20 to 40 percent lower than full-price retailers. Outlet inventory changes seasonally, so current styles and sizes vary. If you're planning a trip to either outlet mall, calling ahead or checking the Tanger website can tell you whether the PUMA store is currently open and what's in stock.

Ordering PUMA shoes online

PUMA's official website (puma.com) ships directly to South Carolina addresses and often runs sales on past-season styles. The site includes detailed size charts, customer reviews, and filtering options so you can narrow down by shoe type, price, or color. Return policies typically allow 30 days for returns, though you should check the current policy before ordering.

Amazon and Zappos both carry PUMA shoes with fast shipping options. Amazon Prime members often get free two-day delivery, while Zappos offers free shipping and returns on most orders. These platforms let you compare prices across multiple sellers and read customer reviews, which can help if you're unsure about fit or quality.

What to know about PUMA shoe styles

PUMA makes several categories of shoes: running shoes designed for distance and speed, training shoes built for gym workouts and cross-training, basketball shoes with ankle support and cushioning, and casual lifestyle sneakers for everyday wear. Running shoes typically cost between $80 and $150, while basketball and specialty performance shoes range from $100 to $180. Casual PUMA sneakers often fall in the $60 to $120 range.

The brand's most popular models include the PUMA RS-X (a retro casual sneaker), the PUMA Velocity Nitro (a running shoe), and the PUMA Clyde (a basketball-inspired shoe). Availability of specific models varies by retailer and season, so if you have a particular style in mind, calling ahead or checking online inventory can save you a trip.

Sizing and fit for PUMA shoes

PUMA shoes typically run true to size, though some models fit slightly narrow. If you're buying in person at Dick's Sporting Goods or Foot Locker, staff can measure your foot and recommend the right size. When ordering online, check the product description for fit notes—many PUMA pages include customer comments about whether a shoe runs large, small, or true to size.

PUMA offers both men's and women's sizes, and the brand also makes children's shoes. Women's sizes typically start at size 5, men's at size 6, and children's sizes are labeled separately. If you're between sizes, most retailers recommend going up rather than down, especially for running shoes where a snug fit can cause blisters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do any PUMA stores have physical locations in South Carolina?

What's the difference between PUMA shoes at an outlet and at a regular store?

Dick's Sporting Goods and Foot Locker may accept returns from their own websites at physical locations, but you should confirm their policy before ordering online.

Are PUMA shoes good for running?

PUMA makes running shoes designed for distance and speed, and they're comparable in quality to other major athletic brands. The best shoe for you depends on your foot type, running style, and personal preference. Staff at Dick's Sporting Goods can analyze your gait and recommend a PUMA running shoe that fits your needs.

What's the price range for PUMA shoes in South Carolina?

PUMA shoes generally cost between $60 and $180 depending on the style and where you buy them.
