) I would recommend this product to a friend.

This is a nicely made driving shoe for occasional use. After all it is only an $80 shoe, just what you would expect from a shoe priced in this category fit was about 1/2 size more than a normal street shoe; and about a 1/2 size less than my normal New Balance size (NB runs one size more than normal street shoes)

The trim outline of the shoe aids in driving small sports cars with narrow clutch/brake areas.

Reviewer Sandra L Wisecup

This is a nice sneaker with plenty of cushion in the sole.
Consider ordering a half size bigger as it tends to run a little small.

Reviewer Donald C Hughes

Okay, these are (or appear to be) all cloth, even the soles. Mine are pretty tight fitting but I’ve bought other slip on type shoes that seem to fit just right and after wearing them for a bit then there too loose, so I’m hoping that after I wear these, they loosen up a bit and for just right.
What I DO like is they are light weight and due to the cloth soles, my feet breathe much better than wearing rubber or plastic soles slippers.

Reviewer darnell fulgham

Very comfortable! I still have to use my SuperFeet inserts, but I'm quite satisfied with my shoes.

Reviewer Adaline

Great shoe, very comfortable right out of the box and look great. They seem to run a little big. I had to get a half size smaller than normal.

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?

The quality of the shoe was very good; it was not right for me.

Reviewer David M Conneely

These seem like good shoes. I've had them around two weeks. They were inexpensive and I didn't have super-high expectations for them, basically bought them to work in the garden and such. They're solidly made, though they are plastic - there's no leather or suede on these. They're very comfortable and ran true to size for me. Foot and arch support is good. I have no complaints. Time will tell whether the problems that others have encountered with the soles splitting happens to me. So far, these seem to be in good shape.

Reviewer J Tee

nice looking shoes. If you are looking for arch support, not a good shoe for that.
