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 am usually a sneaker 13, sometimes a 12 in boots. The 13 here fits me perfectly. My foot is wide, which is what pushes me up into a 13 sometimes. This is wider and more comfortable than it looks, much because it is soft enough to gently conform to my foot. No problems there or with the size at all.
The black looks good, and that means the rubber strip doesn't stand out so much on the bottom. I know that's there by design, but I don't usually like a big wall of rubber.
These are comfortable, easy, casual, The only odd thing is getting the lace ends through the holes at the top, but not a big deal at all. These look good, but certainly won't last forever - they become a deal when your size and color choice happens to be the low end of the price scale (which I think they keep around just to entice you to look in the first place).

The back of the shoe rubs a bit against the upper heel but the product is otherwise as expected. Always a Croc fan.
Reviewer Mario Diego Jr
these don't hold up to daily wear for a year, but if i stagger wearing them with other shoes, they last for quite a few months.
Reviewer John M Leach
First order fit much too small, short in the toe so returned and ordered a half size larger which fit perfectly.
Reviewer Juancho1
These are very light shoes - they are fairly comfortable, I wish the arch support was better though. They look OK, not nearly as good as the picture, but are stylish enough to wear to work for business casual.
