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?

Love everything about them. Just wish I bought two pairs when they were on sale 😪
Reviewer Sailor Sam
i've owned three pairs now, and i was able to get a little over 350mi out of each pair, i think. I generally like the cushioned running shoes, even though i don't log as many miles weekly as i used to (collegiately and post, about 60-70mi). nowadays i run several times per week and mostly cycle, but these shoes held up well to sporadic use, were comfy on the occasional half-marathon, and wore as well in the rain as in the shine.

Canvas is very comfortable. The sole padding is outstanding.
Reviewer Jewel Sophia Younge
These wonderful canvas sneakers will be perfect for this upcoming Spring and Summer season!
These shoes fit perfectly and are plenty roomy for my just slightly wider feet. Some shoes I’ve purchased throughout the years - especially sneakers have been more slender than I am comfortable with but these have plenty of room within them to give enough support to my entire foot without feeling like they’d be too wide for most. The soles have a great traction to them and the insoles are very comfortable. I tried them out with some kaki shorts and they looks awesome! I am definitely looking forward to wearing them in the upcoming seasons.
I’d definitely recommend these Basics canvas sneakers.
Reviewer pereirahelena
These shoes look like a cross between sneakers and loafers. The entire top is leather. The bottom is rubber for safety. The shoes look great and are still a tie up, but more like the loafer ties. The bottom and the red logo on the side gives them the sneaker look. They fit nicely and they are different. In a world of teens who want to be different but still the same (no wonder they are conflicted), these give them a look that works in either world.

Amazing camo shoes! Great style!
Reviewer W Kessler
The shoe is just fine and did what we needed for our 15-year-old son to wear to a wedding with dockers! Only concern the photo shows the beige/tan/cream colored a little lighter then, it truly is! It’s not enough to look funny- just note the shoe is a bit darker in person.. A nice argyle sock along with the light blue accent on the shoe helps offset the color difference. For the price, it was a good purchase and comfortable sale for the event that lasted eight hours long! Not sure we would have received the same comfort result if we chose a dress shoe?! Bonus, my son can use again if needed.. keep this boat shoe nice for needed events. It’s not hip enough to want to wear everyday for our 15yr old and that is fine with me!!
