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?

Packed well and looks great. Fits perfectly. Weather has been terrible most likely won't wear until spring. Box and packaging was great as well.
Reviewer Bob Dodds
The shoes are in very hot while wearing. Can only wear few hours at a time or feet sweat
Reviewer Katie Holland
Good supportive athletic shoe for the moderate price. My husband has been wearing these for about 5 years now, multiple pairs!
Reviewer KKoshy
These are a nice sleek causal shoe, that fit as expected. They pretty much match with anything which is cool. They are comfortable and seem to be made well. I think my only complaint is the tongue. It's very thin and short, hard to get a grip on it to slip the shoe on. Otherwise overall happy with the shoe.
Reviewer Marcie K Wynn
one reason was that it was darker than expected (I ordered the natural white), it was closer to a very light tree bark than to the color white (would look great with jeans, though), the other was that there was a $10 price drop ($47 to $37) after I recieved the shoes.
If you like the color and the price is right then I recommend them

EXCELLENT SHOES!!! VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE
Reviewer randomcthulu
Quality is ok for the price, they are very comfortable and looks good (for me) but leather get use marks very easily.
Reviewer Alvin Neal
Size 13 fit my boyfriend very well, and he loves how comfortable they are to wear. Durable material, great quality shoe for the price.
Reviewer Glynis J Sanders
Comfortable with plenty of wiggle room. I'm usually 11.5 wide so I got a 12. Needs more arch and heal support. Very lightweight.
