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?

Nothing sketcy about Sketcher. A few years ago I had some major foot trouble so since then I have been careful to protect my hoofies with ankle support and molded foot inserts. None of that matters if you have lousy shoes. I first bought a pair of Skechers Men's Afterburn Memory-Foam Lace-up Sneakers at a small box store after seeing them advertised. Best cheap shoe I ever wore. Liked them so much that I just bought a backup pair here...but I didn't have to. My older pair is still going strong. Lastability. So, if you're not some kind of shoe diva and are looking for a good ride...get yours. I like 'em!

I bought them as a gift for my husband. He wore them when traveling overseas and walked a lot.
The leather is stylish and elegant. He loves them a lot.

If you have a boy or man that never ties or unties his laces, you will love these shoes for more than one reason. First, they are air cooled. They have memory foam with air cooling also. The best part is that the laces are bungee laces that do not untie. They are in there with no way to relace or unlace. Perfect for the guy who likes to slip on his shoes and slip them off after wearing them. These shoes are also comfortable, which they will love. The bottom is durable and should be able to last some time. These shoes are made for comfort and the insole conforms to your foot. I like these so much, I ordered another pair in wide so that my man can enjoy them.

Sketchers are my favorite! My husband and son destroy clothing and shoes on campouts and just regular activity. I know that these will last them. My husband loved the wide fit. He said he felt like he was walking in platform shoes at first, but likes the memory foam. I should have nabbed a pair for my son!

They are a bit tight to get my foot into the opening as the tongue is attached but once I get them on, they are very comfortable. The size fit my normal shoe size.

Just a tad bit tight but will break in. Nice shoes for a good price.
