Air Jordan 1 Low White / Grey AACAA1795

Reviewer Hand

I bought these specifically for cycling with old fashioned toe clips, because I'm weird and I like to know about history and experience things. They were advertised as 10.5US, they are 44eu instead of 45 eu - meaning they "run small", and it's a small 44. I still fit in them, even if they are a tad tight and have been using them with an old peugeot PH11 with the original triangular pedals from the mid 1980's - that style inspired the Look system of "clipless" pedals famously introduced by Greg Lamond in the famous tour pursuit of the badger. Mostly, I just want to pursue coffee and sunshine.

I think these might be the best shoes you can currently buy for use with cycling toe-clips, without spending a fortune or getting shoes that are 20 years old and falling apart. If you're more accustomed to swing out clipless systems such as Look, CrankBros, or Spd, you will recognize immediately that toe clips are far inferior - it took me a few miles to stop yanking my foot out of the back as I tried to sweep through the bottom of my pedal stroke, and it's hard to remember to loosen the strap when coming to a stop. These Puma shoes are very similar to the old sidi shoes that used to be common in cycling, except there's really no stiffness at the end of the toes, and I could tell that I would get a blister on my big toe as a result, so I must meditate on rule 5 of the Velominati prior to using them. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Puma took this shoe design from an old cycling shoe, the laces are shifted to the outside of the shoe and are easy to keep away from the cranks, while the foot bottom is as stiff as any modern cycling shoe. I think it would be hell to walk around in and I really can't comment on their utility as driving shoes.

The ferrari symbol is a regrettable attribute, as my place in society (AKA not a billionaire) would dictate that anyone wearing such driving shoes while tooling around in their ferrari not only has more money than sense, but likely has additional baggage that (fingers crossed) allows me to feel morally superior; which would make up for being hugely outclassed, financially. It's a kind of 99%'ers sour grapes, you know? If you are this person, please feel free to leave me validating comments about the woes in your otherwise blessed life. Mo-money mo problems?

I'm a big fan of Skechers and these did not disappoint. I have bad feet, but the souls of Skechers forms to my feet, making them as comfortable as I can hope for. They're stylish and fit well. If there is any negative to Skechers, it is that they don't last as long as some other name brands, but that's any easy tradeoff for the comfort they provide.

Read the many outstanding reviews and bought a pair, love them. They are perfect for casual shoes or for mild athletic use. I use them for walking and sometimes biking.

Reviewer Gabe M

Quality footwear. Genuine soft leather upper. Bought at the sale price so was very good value for money.

Reviewer PJHalsall

Fit great for me. Very comfortable and light weight. Holding up very well. Would have bought a second pair if the price didn’t jump $30.00.

I have the black shoes. They are super “plain”, but that’s something that I really like about them. Just black-and-white, with the Lacoste logo on the side. They are leather uppers with a rubber sole. They have some arch support inside. The inside padding is “reasonable”. Due to the rubber sole, they are not super lightweight, but also not too heavy. These shoes are Made in Vietnam, so at the current starting price of seventy-five bucks is a bit steep, but they are quite nice overall.

Reviewer Stephen Harrelson

This shoe is well made and comfortable. The look is classic. They slip on and are comfortable. The insoles are removable and the rubber sole provides traction. The10.5 fit perfectly. A nice switch from standard sneakers.

Reviewer Robert W Kochman

Securely packaged, delivered on time. Fits well, looks good, very pleased with purchase

Reviewer Souljahs

These shoes look great and feel comfy. I love how the give out two looks, causal and dressy too. They really go with anything, the only thing is that they do not give a great arch support, but nothing any support insoles can't fix.

Reviewer Xan

Nice light weight shoes. Comfortable but they run small and the sole picks up rocks and debris between the rubber footed. A wide would be better, these e are a bit snug.
