I have 10+ pairs of Cole Haan shoes and they're all great, but these are the most comfortable out of all of 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?

I bought these for my husband. He loves these shoes. The color is perfect and they fit perfect.
Reviewer Colette M Smith
I'm obsessed with these shoes. Fits as expected.
Reviewer Peggy S Hodge
I love, love these. Prettier than anticipated. What else can I say! Nice!
Reviewer Robert P Heckenkamp
The shoe did bend and twist but was lightweight which I really liked. I tried the shoes when my feet were painful and swollen. I liked it!
Reviewer Tim Brandt
Like these shoes alot....stylish and extremely comfortable. I normally wear a 10 1/2 in a regular shoe. Some skechers have been a tad tight so now normally order an 11. I ordered an 11 in these and they fit perfect but with no extra room.
Reviewer Dan Benjoseph
Good walking shoes--could be a bit wider!
Reviewer AlanGould
Good shoes - I enjoy them. They are absolutely flat so there is no arch support. If you are bothered by walking without the support you won't enjoy these, but they look and feel good otherwise and I can wear them all day. I wouldn't try and run in them!
Reviewer Bevan B Phillips
The last pair of PUMA's I owned was about 30 years ago. At the time, they seemed cheap and I didn't like them.
Fast forward to today and I like the way PUMA's look. I've been wanting these for a while and found them on sale recently. I'm glad I did.
I haven't the slightest idea how well these will wear, but I strongly disagree with those who say that they're uncomfortable. Believe me when I say that, because I'm all about comfort and I know how hard it can be to find comfortable shoes, that are still affordable, today. They're not a running shoe with a squishy sole, but they're still one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes that I own. The sole has far more cushion than a pair of Adidas Sambas I own, which I find extremely uncomfortable.
Of course they look nice too, but I'll wrap this up by describing the fit. They probably do run slightly narrow and short, but I think some of the reviews exaggerate how much. They're bigger than many shoes I own, including my Sambas. In fact, I'm between sizes and have no problem with the smaller size. The arch support doesn't seem like much, but it's more than adequate, because they're so comfortable. The cushioned soles do their part in the comfort of the shoe, too.
Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe and will probably be buying more pairs in the future.
