    They run pretty true to size. I've just ordered my regular size and they've been fine.

    Ha...I found this and ordered another pair last last week, but I thought everyone liked puma's, so I didn't post it.

    Go figure. At least nobody has the green/white like I do.

    good thing I switched my order and got a 1/2 size smaller, these run big.
    I have an extra set if anyone wants a pair of 10's blk/orange prototipo's

    Not really possible. The laces aren't long enough. I barely had any lace to tie my knot.

    I went home at lunch to try on my pair. You are correct...the laces are too short. I have to take them out of the top hole to tie a good knot.

    Now my green/white ones have much longer laces...not sure what happened.

    I checked Pilotis website and they have an newer blue/black/white shoe. I can only assume these are close-outs as the interwebs have stated the older styles had short laces.

    http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f68/puma-speedcat-vs-piloti-prototipo-50645/index2.html

    They also mention to contact Piloti and they will send out the correct laces. I already have an email in to them. :sx:

    :dunno

    Shoes are the one area where I will splurge. Life is too short to have uncomfortable shoes.

    I used to buy $40-60 dress shoes for work. They would wear out before the end of the year. Now I spend about $200-250 and they last me 2-3 years and look/feel great.
