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?

Comfortable and durable. I recommend these shoes.
Reviewer Mathew K Higbee
better price here than at the mall. the gold logo they use on the tongue now is not durable at all. i can see it starting to wear off.
Reviewer Keith Hinds
I still wear these shoes today. I have to replace the laces and other than that the shoe fits well and is made well.
Reviewer Lizzy Meg
I like these black shoes.

While I had never heard of this brand I decided to give them a shot to see what I thought about them.
I found that these shoes fit true to size and are incredibly comfortable. The mesh like fabric allows airflow keeping your feet from getting too hot while still providing ample support.
I have used these over the last few months and they have held up very well, performed excellently and quickly became a go to pair of shoes when I knew I was going to the gym or to be on my feet most of the day.
I have been very pleased with these sneakers and would not hesitate to recommend them or purchase another pair from this brand. The price is amazing for the quality of this shoe.

Reviewer Theresa Wilkin
These shoes are very roomy in the toe box, comfortable, and offer good support. The removable insole has a good arch and molds itself to the contours of your foot. The shoes were comfortable all day from the first day I put them on, so I didn't need to do the "wear them for 2 hours per day" break-in treatment. In fact, the third day I owned them I wore them to work - on a concrete floor for 12 hours, and had no problems at all.
This is definitely my new favorite shoe.
Reviewer Carole Schmidt
Perfect fit - size 11 runs true. Not as comfortable as the Adidas cloudfoam but I could switch the inserts if I like.
