Nice pair of sneaks but the top of the toe box is a little odd shaped. Wonder what that is.

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 will never buy any other kind of shoe. I'm on my feet all day and I've always had a hard time trying to find comfortable shoes. I absolutely love these shoes. First pair of Globes lasted over 3 years, and I replaced them with these. I recommend for anyone who needs an extremely comfortable pair of shoes!
Reviewer E Cull
These are great daily wearing shoes. They look stylish but not pretentious or flashy. I really like them and they're my second pair.
However be aware that there is a break-in period. I wore a brand new pair to a 10-day overseas trip (only shoes I brought), and the upper part of my toes was hurting for a couple of days.
Reviewer James R Longacre
Purchased these as a backup for a pair I already own. I liked the shoes and wanted a second pair to keep in reserve. I hate having to hunt down and but new shoes - so when I find a pair I like, I try and buy more of them. These shoes are comfortable and seem sturdy enough for the kind of work I do. The size was right for my feet. I'm happy with my purchase.

I love it that these shoes are exactly what my husband has been wearing for at least 5 years. I looked everywhere in stores but only found them here. They are perfect and fit so well.
Reviewer Lewis J Long
This is the second pair of these my son has purchased. The first pair was specifically for running but now he’s more into powerlifting. He got very comfortable using these shoes while he was lifting so when he wore the first pair out he got new ones. These are actually better crafted than the first pair. I think the company made some good improvements
Reviewer Louise M Warburton
They fit good they aren't stiff they can be worn alot of different ways if you like classic style sneakers you should definitely buy
Reviewer Janice Molloy
I really like these cool sneakers by Element Strack! I ordered them with my son in mind. He likes them. He says they are very fashionable and modern. They are reminiscent of skateboarding shoes, thick flat soles with rubber heels. They are a pretty brown with orange accents and include optional laces (orange and brown). They have some other nice design elements (cool treads) that will appeal to men of all ages. They fit a little small, so you might want to order up a half size. And finally, these shoes are reasonably priced (about $56 on Amazon).
