I like the shoes. Quality and they look good. Relatively inexpensive and stylish.
Reviewer TRUDI
They machine wash very well, as they are canvas rather than ultra suede. I like the extra wideness as I like to stretch out my toes. I find the green a bit too bright. I prefer the blue ones.

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?

Fits as expected. Look great. Feel great in them. I swear them with low cut no see socks. Got many compliments on them. Will use again next spring & summer.
Reviewer Robert P Heckenkamp
The shoe did bend and twist but was lightweight which I really liked. I tried the shoes when my feet were painful and swollen. I liked it!
Reviewer K E Donahue
Nice looking shoes, pretty comfortable so far. A little bigger than expected, maybe half a size but they fit well enough.
Reviewer Judy H Smith
I now have 4 pairs, fit comfort and wear are perfect.
The price is more then worth it. Finally a shoe wide enough and
adjusts to high archs on my large foot. Blends with sport to dress
casual.
Reviewer bookdealers2
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 GSTheriault
Love the slide in heel
Reviewer Joni Buhler
