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?

The sizes seem to run 1/2 a size small. Very nice sneakers.

The gray and white look tight.

These "classic" shoes comes in a variety of color combinations. But the main thing about them is how comfortable they are. Thick "cushy" sole. . . Nice padding both on the footbed and around the ankle. Nice non-skid tread. Nice pull-on tab in the back. There's lots to like about these shoes. . . . Especially if you can get them on the current lower-end of the price range.

I have the black swede shoes. They could easily be mistaken for canvas, but they are indeed black swede. Very classic look. Plain and simple, which I quite like. They have really nice arch support inside, which often is not the case. Some padding around the ankle, as well as the footbed, though not a ton. They are still quite comfortable. A little bit heavy as the sole is rubber. Not a lot of tread on the bottom, but some. These shoes are Made in China, so kind of pricey at seventy-five bucks, but nice, casual shoes overall.
