Great shoes, been wearing these for years.

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?

Comfortable and durable. I recommend these shoes.
Reviewer URBAN BOOK LOVER
These shoes are very comfortable. They can be worn with slacks for work in relaxed work place or more casual clothes. They will be great for travel shoes. I will definitely continue to buy these when needed.
Reviewer GURESU
Really great shoes. My husband just loved them and they are soo comfortable. He was very satisfied. They look great on him and the comfort and the light shoe make this a great purchase.

This is my second pair of Lisbon shoes — I also have the brown ones.
Unfortunately I had to order three pairs of the brown ones before I got a pair that didn't have wrinkles or lumps along the side of the footbed. Vivobarefoot appear to have worked out the quality control issues, because this black pair is really comfy, with no lumps or deviations in the footbed.
The shoes appear quite durable, are comfortable for a mile or two of walking, and take a shine well.

AWESOME!!! My husband has neuropathy and skechers have absolutely been a blessing.
Reviewer Da L Luo
These shoes look very similar to a Nike pair that I own. They are cushy inside and fit as expected. The overall workmanship and materials feel about like the quality I would expect from a target or Walmart shoe. These will make great work shoes, though I don’t expect them to last very long.

I bought these for my son. He loves them. This is the only shoe he wears.
