they still click
Great shoes in all except for one really important regard: they still click when you walk. I have SPD cleats (SH51). We're talking the most popular and versatile recessed cleat. But the cleats aren't recessed enough in this shoe such that the metal cleat doesn't make contact with every step. That's pretty annoying given how this shoe is marketed. They already look a bit like orthopedics so another 1/8th inch on the sole wouldn't change looks but would have greatly enhanced walking performance. I got these shoes for my 4 mi. commute but I can't wear them to teach in without tap dancing across the linoleum. They're great if you're just going to a bar or anywhere you're going to be sitting. Or maybe if you have another kind of cleat /pedal system. But not good for walking on hard surfaces with the most widely available SPD cleats.
Bike to Bars
I've worn these shoes to a wedding with a suit, received several compliments. They pedal well, lacing system holds foot really well. Heel lift not as much of an issue as I thought. I pedal these into the city and stop at a bar for a beer-- and they're perfect for this. I sized down a full size and they fit well.
First Impressions
Today is my first day of using these shoes. I think they look great. I went for the grey shoe with the gum colored sole to minimize attention to my non-dress attire. They are mostly comfortable. The heel cup doesn't hold my heel in very well, so it lifts with each step, but it is easily overlooked. I don't get any clicking from my cleats, so that is a good thing. I have two concerns though. The rubber sole is beginning to separate up near the toe box on one of the shoes. They came that way but I didn't want to return them. It's a small problem that I can live with. If they wear out prematurely then I will be able to decide if I liked them enough to get a second pair, or if I should look for something else. My other concern is the quality of the screws that came with the shoes. The metal quality is very poor. Two of the screws stripped today, on my first day of use. I almost couldn't get one foot out of the pedal as the cleat would just adjust on my shoe while the screw stripped out. I replaced the screws with better ones and the problem seems to have disappeared.
Basically a joke
I want to like Chrome, but this is the second pair I've owned and both have been disastrous. These don't work, because after a day of wear - 11 miles riding, plus walking around inside and out - one cleat or another invariably works itself loose, and then fails to engage with the peddle, loses a bolt, or (on one occasion), gets stuck in the pedal clip. I'm not sure why it happens - uneven ground putting torque on the bolts as I walk? - but it's happened each of the first three days I've worn these, and never on any other pair of cycling shoes I've owned. Even aside from that problem, they aren't great. They are very heavy, there's no heel cupping to speak of, and they are uncomfortable to walk in. They are only worthwhile if it would really be inconvenient to simply change shoes. My previous experience with Chrome shoes was with regular Truks - no cleats - and on those, the rubber sidewall literally tore apart as I was taking my shoe off one day. And it's not like they were old. These are just badly made shoes.
