Air Jordan 5 Retro Wolf Grey 2011 Air Jordan 5 Retro 'Midnight Navy'

Reviewer Hand

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've worn Pumas before and found them to be very comfortable and well-fitting shoes. These do not disappoint! The leather holds up quite nicely.

Reviewer Kevin Park

These are great shoes for wearing out and about. Very eye-catching without being over the top (I ordered the red ones). I'm not sure I'd use them for heavy-duty athletic activities, though. They're designed to slip on easily, and I've found that they're not a particularly tight fit. Perfect for everyday wear, though. I ordered my normal size, and they fit just fine.

Have now bought two skecher boots and am now spoiled. Nice fit and comfy footbed. They do seem to be cooler than any memory foam shoe I have ever had. Even had to get a pair of their sneakers and love them also.

Reviewer A S Henry

My boyfriend loves these, they're comfortable, great support, lightweight and he especially loves the color. They fit him perfectly.

Reviewer Joseph Piccola

These shoes were perfect for what I needed them for and comfortable enough for me to wear them around all day!

Reviewer Michael Lodise

I had a total Hip Replacement a year or so ago and that makes tying shoelaces a real nuicsance, They not only cure that problem, They look great and fit like driving gloves.
