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?

Well, I’m glad they still sell these. This is all my husband wears. The price can’t be beat! All of the footwear stores want $75.00 or more. This is probably his 100th pair so I guess he loves them! Looks great and lasts long time too. Very comfortable. He wears them to work and hasn’t complained at all.

These are the most comfortable Pumas I’ve ever owned. Good price, quick shipping. Happy with this purchase.

Reviewer Peter T Elikann
Great, comfortable shoes. I have had 5 low back surgeries and finding comfortable shoes is difficult. These are perfect.
Reviewer Terry McGee
These shoes are as advertized. They are both comfortable to wear and look excellent. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a medium priced everyday shoe.

I’m quite “confused” by these shows. They are made in China. “Puno King” is a Chinese company selling on Amazon. On the size it shows “RP Crew”. After doing some research. . . I still have no idea what it stands for. I’ve found the same design on some shirts. . .but no other information. I know that RP can stand for Roleplay. . . But as far as being a “Hip-Hop Fashion Statement”. . .. Who knows. If you really like the “RP part. . .This same company offers other shoe options where the RP is in Black and shows-up more.
These shows are heavily padded around the ankle as well as on the tongue. There is nice padding on the footbed, but next to no arch support. The sole is non-skid rubber. Because of the rubber sole; these shoes are a little bit heavier than some other options.
Overall I like them. . . but. . .at the current price of thirty-seven bucks. . . I think they are kind of expensive for Made in China shoes.

Honestly. . . These shoes are super ugly. Having said that. . . . I quite like them. Hahahaha
They are very lightweight. I have the size 8 and they weigh 6oz. There is really nice padding inside. There’s also arch support. They easily slip-on, as there is so much stretch to the fabric. I like the tag on the back to help pull then on. Very breathable.
The sold is anti-skid. It’s plastic. I have some other shoes with what I believe to be a similar sole. I thought that they would wear-down quickly. . . but. . . that’s not been the case.
These shoes are Made in India. They look and feel cheap. . . but. . . I can’t get past the comfort part. Ever if they don’t last all that long. . . I’ll enjoy them while I can.
Reviewer Christine Houde
Classic Sneakers. If you were a kid in the 70's Pro Keds were the Converse Chuck Taylor alternative. Love the comfort. They make my feet happy and bring a smile to my face whenever I wear them.
