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?

Reviewer Leonard Cain

Comfortable and durable. I recommend these shoes.

Reviewer Carl Fischer

Good quality. The fit was perfect and the comfort is good.

Reviewer Janice Canter

I bought these ass a gift for my daughter and she apparently loves them because she wears them constantly.

Reviewer KrysEnvy

Comfortable, extremely light and steel toe. Can't beat these shoes.

Reviewer C D Carman

I have the multicolor shoes. Bright and attractive. I like the fact that a pair of socks are also included.

Lightweight. Lots of padding around the ankle. . . as well as the tongue. Firm padding on the footbed with some arch support.

Nice non-slip sole. Breathable mesh upper.

These shoes are Made in China and being sold by a Chinese company on Amazon. At the current starting price of fifty-eight bucks, I think they are quite expensive. . . but overall nice shoes. The box shoes “New York” in a couple of places. . .and. . .”New Yorh” in one place. But there is no question that these are Chinese shoes.

I have the size 8. They have a weight of 8.25oz each. So they are quite lightweight. This is because the sole is Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (plastic). The upper is mesh and breathable. There is a nice padded footbed, which is removable. Slight bit of arch support. Not much padding around the heel / ankle. They are a little slick on the bottom. Very attractive look.

These shoes are Made in China and being sold by a Chinese company on Amazon. At the current price of 43 bucks, they are at least 10 bucks overpriced, but they are very attractive and nice overall.

Reviewer Chess Warrior

I can always count on Skechers.

Reviewer Corey F Dyok

"just like home" when I first put them on. No break-in is required. I don't hesitate recommending these casual shoes.

Reviewer Bluecat

been a fan of plimsoles as far back as I can remember and these Seevees hit the bull's eye regarding the classic styling I am looking for combined with comfort and good looks in a quality product
