Zion 4 Iridescence Mens Basketball Shoes (Light Photo Blue/Coast/Black/Blue Gaze)

Reviewer Sheila Ortiz

These shoes are awesome! The look is just great, I have gotten numerous compliments on them. I am also a crossfitter so have used these for both heavy strength training and metcon workouts with running and lifting. The flat sole is good for lifting technique and has good cushion overall, not crazy but enough and has a great fit to it. Only thing I would recommend is scotch guard the white areas cause they get dirty fast on the toe. Awesome otherwise, and I will probably by another pair when these start to wear out but doing great so far with regular wearing and workouts.

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?

shoes, just shoes

The fit is great as I have fat feet. I have tried custom sport shoes and Skechers is a better fit and has a much better price point. Already order a second pair.

Reviewer G S Easter

This was a gift for our granddaughter and she loved them. Fit was perfect and so was the color.

Reviewer Cindy J Parker

Bought for my daughter for school who wears a 9 1/2 in women shoes, and purchased the 8 in these. The color is perfect and will order another for her.

Reviewer Stan Kravit

Easy on and off. Great kicker slippers for keeping feet off the cold floors. I haven’t used them outside.
