Amazing shoes. I have received a ton of compliments on these shoes. My only issue is that they run a little big, so you might want to go a half size smaller that normal.

I just got these in brown. I love them! I just put one red and one olive pair in my cart. If you are considering, do it! They are fantastic. More comfy than Chuck Taylors, which I usually wear.

This shoe takes a little while to break in but after you do they are pretty comfortable. The rubber toe (top and front) are good for bike clips. The material is pretty durable and has stayed pretty clean. It is not waterproof, but you can bike through a pretty bad downpour and your socks will be dry, although the shoe will be really wet and will need to dry. Unfortunately, despite really wanting to love these shoes, there are major drawbacks. Firstly, the heel is wearing out way to fast for such a pricey shoe. Secondly, there is no loop for the laces to prevent them from being caught in the pedal as the description claims. That is a pretty important for bike shoes. Lastly, Chrome is very popular with the hipsters (I found this out after I bought the shoes) so now I look like the people I hate.

Stiff, hard, and slips off the heel because the material is so stiff - not the rubber bottom, the material part of shoe - it's like they've been starched.

Excellent shoe but expensive. The outside canvas is very tough but that means it'll wear like iron. The first day in the shoe is a little rough but it feels good after it breaks in (2-3 wears). I use it when I bike to work (10 miles) and it beats the heck out of my Nike running shoe. I've received lots of compliments on the style of the shoe as well (and they're red).

Awesome looking shoes, winning me raves everywhere I go. Stain resistant fabric is a plus, as I like to freedom to off road without destroying my kicks. Only downside is that these are not the most comfy shoes I've ever owned. They slide a lot in the heel, and they're surprisingly stiff.

I got these for my adult son for his birthday and he loves them. When he rides his bike, the front of his feet stays dry in the Portland weather.

These shoes are awful. It's a crying shame too because they look great. The problem is comfort. The soles are like hard rubber blocks, no flex at all. Wearing this shoe is like having my foot inside a brick. I think I'm going to have to send them back.

Very high quality well-made shoe. These feel like heavy-duty Chuck Taylors, but much more stylish. They are a riding shoe, so they compromise a little as a walking-around shoe. The heel fit feels a little loose (like many bike shoes) and the shoe is super stiff. They are uncomfortable until you break them in (which takes a while) and then they're still not the most comfortable shoes you own. But you will get lots of compliments on them because they're so damn cool.

These shoes are not as uncomfortable as others are making it seem. I was very hesitant to purchase them after reading some of the reviews. They aren't any less comfortable than Chuck Taylors, Vans or PF Flyers. So glad I got them.

The Chrome Kursk, is, first and foremost, a skate/bike shoe. It is tougher than your casual Chuck Taylor, offering more support for those types of activities. As a bike rider, I find the stiffness and rugged construction refreshingly tough. My feet usually pay the price for wanting to ride in comfortable (flimsy) shoes. These are just the shoes I have been looking for. They are great!

These shoes look great and are a lot more comfortable than a Chuck or a Flyer.

My teenage son loves these: I order 3 pairs a year, he wears them every single day, and has pronounced them the "most comfortable shoe, ever". Lightweight, and with that delectable red rubber sole, I too like their look. But they were designed for bike messengers, not hulking heavy-footed teenagers who walk in them 24/7, so they don't seem particularly durable. Still: as long as he likes them, I'll keep buying them.

This is an excellent sneaker. The materials and make are great. The feel is a little stiff (because is designed to push bike pedals) but after a while, it breaks-in and feels OK. This shoe, like some other brands that I have owned (Blundstone comes to mind) suffers from the feels one size bigger syndrome). I found out in this case that in due to the hefty thick insoles that push your toes against the top of the toe cap. So, lets say that you are a size 10. The length of the shoe is actually correct, but you feel that you need half of one size bigger. You go to 11 and you feel fine, but the shoes look too big on you. If you replace the soles with some after market ones, then the size 10 feels fine.

For cycling, the Chrome Kursks are perfect. They're great shoes for jumping on the bike and riding around town, and great for kicking back. They're not good for walking around, however. The hard sole is perfect for pedaling, lousy for walking. But they're not walking shoes, are they? No they are not. Love these shoes.

We bought 4 pair of shoes for this school year. All were as stated, all were delivered promptly. Zappos makes me feel like I'm 'family'. I love this site and will continue shopping here. These shoes are wonderful!

These shoes hurt me feet like crazy. My feet are slightly wide, but usually fine in all other shoes. The metal ties on the end of the laces drive me crazy clanging on my sprocket while I am pedaling. I have tried to break them in, but lately I have noticed myself avoiding wearing them. My little toe is always asleep when I wear these shoes, so now I just wear my Vans when I ride my bike. I wish I would have bought Keen's Coronado Cruiser instead.
