Bought these for my daughter for Christmas. Perfect sizing and she loved them!

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 review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

I had to get a size smaller. I am usually in a womens 10 but got these in a 9 and they fit perfect.

These were a lot nicer than I thought they would be, at a fantastic price too. I bought them as a gift, so I will have to reserve final judgement when the recipient sees/wears them. Not an easy size to find in stores, so this is a great opportunity to get the shoe I wanted at the right price. Arrived fast, and in great condition

My husband and I bought a pair of these each and we enjoy wearing them around. We are old kids, I suppose, because we are not kids. The shoes change colors, blink, and do all sorts of things - so much fun especially outside at night. And they are so comfortable to wear!!!!!
Reviewer Well Rested
I purchased these for my husband, he loved them, but a little to big for him I ordered a size 11.5, the package said size 46 which should be right in size , however; it’s not, so we gifted them to my son , who is a size 13 and they fit perfectly, by the way he loved them!
Reviewer J Berringer
It is difficult to find white, leather mens all purpose cross training shoes good for walking, etc. these Swiss made shoes are excellent! They are fairly light weight, great looking, true to size, very comfortable, and super well made. The seams are double sown and frankly I bought them for my husband after trying several other American brands that were way more expensive and we highly recommend these over them.
Well worth the price!
Reviewer C A Blackmar
I liked the shoe but my granddaughter had the wrong size. It received the shoes but they were way to big. I returned them (I thought) but when I tried to mail them back I was told they were shipped from Fife, UK and it would cost me
$58.00 dollars to mail them back. Can Amazon give me another address in the states so I don't have to pay that? I have since ordered the right size.
Reviewer Ognyan Vassilev
These shoes are nice looking, the leather very pliable and attractive. The soles have zero arch support and very minimal padding. The sole also doesn’t bend very easily but this might change as you break in the shoe. The standard size is quite narrow. They look great but feel maybe not so great. 3.5 stars for style over function.
