I have a pair of these Pumas, too. I really like them with the MKS platform pedals on my commuter, but with quill pedals and half clips, my foot ends up sore around the middle because they are so flexible. Do you have the same experience? It's too bad, because the gum sole with the scalloped pattern is very grippy.

In appearance anyway, they remind me of the old Bata Bikers. I never had the opportunity to try Bata Bikers, but I'm surprised that they have not been reissued given the periodic surge in interest and the current appetite for vintage cycling stuff.
