Best running shoes I've ever owned. Exceptional cushioning.

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?

Reviewer Mystery Veteran
I've worn Pumas before and found them to be very comfortable and well-fitting shoes. These do not disappoint! The leather holds up quite nicely.
Reviewer Meg's Mom
The shoes look very expensive and very comfortable. I have been wearing Lacoste shoes now for years because they are comfortable and look great. It is great for when you want to look sharp and still be comfortable.
Reviewer Kevin Park
These are great shoes for wearing out and about. Very eye-catching without being over the top (I ordered the red ones). I'm not sure I'd use them for heavy-duty athletic activities, though. They're designed to slip on easily, and I've found that they're not a particularly tight fit. Perfect for everyday wear, though. I ordered my normal size, and they fit just fine.
Reviewer Thomas J Blanchard
I am currently rehabbing a broken fibula and the shoes are the only ones I will wear. I hope they last, but right now....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
Reviewer S Ainsworth
Purchased for my son. Easy for him to slip on and off. Comfortable, yet still covers his feet when he is out walking around.
Reviewer Chloe Gray
These are great sneakers! I love the look of them and they are very comfortable. I wasn’t familiar with this brand before these and now I have also gotten him the boots too! These are well made and my husband loves them. They are his new favorite daily shoe.
These fit true to size and were easy to break in without him getting any blisters. Excellent quality and comfort.
