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?

These are sturdy and comfortable.

Reviewer Randy L Shaner

My favorite pair of sneakers. It’s like walking on clouds ☁️
Love the bright color. Got so many compliments

Reviewer R Casamina

These fit as expected and are stylish and comfortable. This oxford incorporates our loafer comfort on a lace-up shoe updated with a modern bi-colored sole & contrasted welt. The elevated unit sole provides for unique comfort. The perforated kid napa leather upper is buttery soft while adding a relaxed & fresh aesthetic.

The shoes look and feel well made. A plus considering the price. The hook-and-loop fastener makes the shoes easy to put on and take off. There is not a lot of support for the arch of the foot, so I sometimes use an insert for extra support.

Reviewer Jeannette DeFiore

With sock and shoe incert it fits really well.. if not for thatit would be loose.
But this is the second pair of these i have had and i am happy to have a new pair becaus ei liked the first so much.
Comfortable and breathable with decent arch support.

Reviewer Shardyk

Looks good. Time will tell if they hold up. The price is right so if they don’t last forever that’s fine

Reviewer V Canfield

The description says skate shoes and I suppose they can be used by skaters, but these are just really nice looking sneakers. I ordered them for my grandson and he loves them. They are comfortable and good looking. The darker color is nice and they look expensive.
