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?

This was a gift for our granddaughter and she loved them. Fit was perfect and so was the color.

Easy on and off. Great kicker slippers for keeping feet off the cold floors. I haven’t used them outside.

I LOVE VANS!! Best shoes ever!
Reviewer Monroe Stahr Books
Authentic Vans. Classic checkerboard style. Sizing is 100% accurate in width and length.
These shoes offer zero arch support so if you are over 40 or have arch issues, you may not appreciate how righteous these are. I fall into both categories and still grin and bear it.

Always been a fan of Rockport... way back in the 1990s, I bought a pair for work based on coworker recommendations (my feet and legs were killing me!). Lately I've been hearing about sizing issues with Rockports and even some quality issues. Decided to take a chance with these anyway - glad I did!
These are lightweight and comfortable - the way they should be. The support is there and I can tell after just a few weeks, these are going to be great shoes in the Rockport tradition.
Reviewer John M Starrels
These shoes fit great and look good. I tried a different brand same size and returned as the fit was small and cramped. These Skechers fit so much better and make my feet feel a lot better.
Reviewer Charles G Atkins
Exactly as described. Perfect fix- I love they don’t need any break in period. Put them
On and went for a two mile walk. Great product and fast shipping.
