Great color, a little darker and more royal than the pic, not as electric. Still very nice though. Super comfy, especially with some spongey blue Dr Scholl's thrown in. I ordered a size up so I could do this. Can walk around for hours in total comfort, and there are relatively few shoes I can say that for. Not bad for hard surface indoor ping pong either, the soles have a respectable amount of grip.

I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert

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?

This review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

This is my husband’s second pair. He’s on his feet teaching and these help his pad his feet.
Reviewer G Sydnor
Shoes look and feel great. I'm very happy with them, though I've already scuffed them up a bit from overuse - that should tell you how often I've been using them! I really enjoy these and I'm glad I got them for the summer. Looking forward to getting them clean and bright for much more use. Thank you very much!

This is the first work shoe that is narrow enough for my husband’s foot. We are buying a second pair to have on hand because they are so comfortable and sturdy.
Reviewer Tess Lynn
I've bought several pairs of the Men's Jazz Low Pro and I really like this shoe. The classic Saucony sneakers are sharp looking, but in my opinion, they don't provide anywhere near the support the Jazz Low Pro offers. Shoe is perfectly snug and there are a ton of really good looking color combinations for this style offered by Saucony.

I've been wearing them almost daily, and have even taken them on a few easy trails. I'm very pleased with these shoes. They still fit very well, are very comfortable, and have been very durable for the price. They are starting to show a bit of wear, but it's not any more than my more-expensive name brand athletic shoes. I'd say these are actually outlasting a few pairs. After a winter and some spring rains, I've found that they don't have as good traction in wet conditions as some of my other shoes, but they're still acceptable in such weather. These are very good fair-weather shoes, good for casual wear, but are still decent shoes for quick jogs or very light hikes. For the money, I think these are great every-day-wear shoes, and they are holding up very well after six months.
Reviewer S Clancy
These shoes are extremely lightweight and fit perfect.
