I really liked this shoe. It was comfortable and looked nice, but basically broke down within a year. I wore them out to a casual rehearsal dinner BBQ, and they got muddy, it was the final kick in the butt I needed to throw away broken shoes, despite only being 1 year old

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 sneaker not only is well crafted, but looks great to the wearer. The style is timeless.
Reviewer Leonard Cain
Comfortable and durable. I recommend these shoes.
Reviewer Marissa Bragg
These are a gift for my son. I just know he is going to go crazy when he opens them Christmas morning. He has the red and white pairs of these exact shoes, they are his absolute favorite.
Reviewer Kerzner
Very happy product lives up to expectation

These are great daily wearing shoes. They look stylish but not pretentious or flashy. I really like them and they're my second pair.
However be aware that there is a break-in period. I wore a brand new pair to a 10-day overseas trip (only shoes I brought), and the upper part of my toes was hurting for a couple of days.

I ordered these Alpine Swiss Stuart men's chunky sneakers. They fit him real well but he says there's not a lot of flexibility to them. Feel stiff. Maybe after awhile they'll have some give. I did a review on these months ago but didn't realize my pics in my tablet were malfunctioning and took my data too. So...I apologize for this delay. But hubby likes them and that's all that matters!
Reviewer Sandra R Byrd
Nice pair of sneakers for this price category. Classic sneaker style. They're not shoes that can handle punishing sports but rather a comfortable casual shoe. I gave them 4 stars because I'm kicking myself for not researching and getting an upgraded version of K Swiss.
Reviewer Fiona Stewartson
Very much like the shoe!
