Air Max 1 LHM "Latin Heritage Month"

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?

lots of compliments and very comfortable, Stylish I have owned a different Pair of Perry Ellis shoes that are 6 years old and still look great

Reviewer Grace Burns

Comfortable but they feel a little flimsy. Good for summer wear but am interested to see how they hold up.

Reviewer James R Longacre

Purchased these as a backup for a pair I already own. I liked the shoes and wanted a second pair to keep in reserve. I hate having to hunt down and but new shoes - so when I find a pair I like, I try and buy more of them. These shoes are comfortable and seem sturdy enough for the kind of work I do. The size was right for my feet. I'm happy with my purchase.

Reviewer Terry K JacobsDavis

They are a good shoe they are very comfortable , the leather is nice . it's just a big shoe like overall big not in the sizing but as a shoe itself.

came fast and as shown

Reviewer P Antoniades

The shoe fits well. The only issue I found was that the insole was so thin that I could feel the bumps of the outsole. I added an insert (insole) and now the shoes fit and feel great.

Reviewer RobAnder

perfect Puma Sneaker.

Reviewer alexsanders

Only worn a few days, but the shoes seem quite sturdy and are certainly comfortable--just like earlier Sketcher footwear. Dependable quality for moderate cost makes them a good value.
