As a longtime customer who has owned Emerica shoes and watched the quality go down throughout the years. These shoes are a great pair to own. The quality is good and as expected for an $80 pair of shoes. Very happy with my purchase.

I have worn them with and without socks..with socks is a little tighter...however they do keep your feet with socks.......you just have to try and then decide
I enjoy wearing the slippers! I have tried them with and without socks, to me it depends if it is cold or warm. They are very comfortable either way.

Reviewer Janel Fortier
Best running shoes I've ever owned. Exceptional cushioning.
Reviewer Robert C Lyons
Look good. A bit stiff at first but they’re broken in now and very comfortable.

As with almost every shoe I buy, I go a size up or two since they usually don't accommodate for wide feet, but they are absolutely amazing to wear if you're just upgrading from any basic retailer shoe from payless, footlocker, famous footwear, etc. If you have a drastically low arch, you may be looking for something more support as well.
I deal with almost no arch at all and it's a start but you might want a larger support since it feels really small for me, I'm a size 11.

My husband goes through shoes like crazy so I try to buy him a pair for his birthday in the summer or for the holidays. Vans are obviously more durable than the $15 shoes from Wal-Mart or Target, but paying the extra $30 for a few extra months is well worth it since my husband can go through 4 pairs of the cheap shoes in 6 months, easy!

Bought these for my little brother. Nice shoes. I buy polo women's shoes and figured I'd give the men's a try for gifts. Good product.

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?
