Air Jordan 1 Low SE WMNS Year of the Dragon AAAAD1486

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?

Color was as pictured. Run a little narrow but I’m breaking them in and doing fine.

Reviewer C Massicott

I have the “Black Nappa” color.

These are very stylish shoes. A little “fancier” than other such sneakers. But they are not really lightweight. They weigh about a pound each.

The sole is rubber, which is 1 of the reasons the shoe is as heavy as it is. Nice tread on the bottom.

The footbed has nice padding, but as it shows on the listing it is “dense”. Another words it is fairly firm padding. There is slight arch support. Almost nonexistent. There is some padding around the ankle.

I think of the shoes more as casual shoes and certainly not a sports shoe. But they look really great, and I like them a lot.

Walked 14 miles on the first time I wore them and my feet loved them

Reviewer Rolf Niebergall

I buy these for my husband for work. They're the best shoes for walking on concrete floors that is wet and sometimes has grease spilled on it. These shoes last him about a year to a year and a half compaired to other cheap shoes that last a month at his work. They are worth the price and are a good quality. You can always buy soles for added comfort, but for my husband I assume they are comfortable enough because he has never complained about discomfort. I've bought him 3 pairs of these in the past 6 years.

Reviewer Louise M Warburton

They fit good they aren't stiff they can be worn alot of different ways if you like classic style sneakers you should definitely buy

Reviewer Mary P Lombardo

I wear these for health reasons (RA) and they provide the support I need.

One of the best show I have now. It is very comfortable and also increases the height. I used it to walk a full day in Universal Studios and didn’t feel much pain under my feet.
It is costly, but every penny worth it.
