Bapesta #5 'Light Light Grey Grey'

Memory foam makes Concept 3 shoes most comfortable I own

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?

Excellent shoes I really like the color.

Reviewer J Siers

Good walking shoes with good support.

Reviewer Lynette Gomez

These fit perfect. I have a pair of the original finger shoes in black, and wanted something neutral in color, and these fit even better than those.

This is the second pair of Sketchers Black Work Shoes I have purchased for my son. Wanted him to have a spare. He is an A/C Technician and is constantly moving on a daily basis. These comfortable / professional looking shoes work exceptionally well for him. They are NOT steel-toed ... but quality is apparent. I highly recommend these Sketchers Work Shoes.

Started buying slip on shoes for use everyday use or lounging around the house. Wasn't sure on these but they looked nice and was surprised at how comfortable they are. The ones I have been buying were nice fit but the sole was harder. I figured all slips on were the same so was surprised at how comfortable they are.

They feel like you're not wearing anything. Great support to. Ended up buy a grey and black one and next week will get a 3rd blue one. They also look nice like a tailored mesh. Would give these a 10 star if I could!
