Chrome Kursk Pro SKU: #7763230

This shoe is a great idea, but the fit is so off. I normally wear a size 10 US or 43 EU but I had to go down to an 8.5US which had my toes kind of tight. For the shoe to stay on my heel I had to tighten the laces uncomfortably tight. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for the next version.

These are my first pair of SPD shoes and I love them. They are a little heavy. Just over 2 pounds for the pair. Once you get used to the weight, you're great. They work great with my crank brother candy pedals. They make riding my track bike so much more enjoyable. No more trying to catch a toe cage.

These shoes are awesome for commuting. They are stiff and provide adequate protection (though when it comes to trail riding I still prefer my beefier Sidi's to keep my foot safe). My only complaint is the cleat sticks out a bit beyond the sold so walking is still a bit awkward (though this could also be because I use Time ATAC cleats instead of SPDs).

These are great shoes for the commuter cyclist that wants clipless pedals without having to change out of your cycling shoes once you get there. Great looking style. Comfort level is a bit low due to the stiff plate that runs through the sole. This however is the only slight draw back.

Functional and stylish, the Kursk Pro does exactly what it's supposed to. The SPD-compatible cleat plate is quite well-implemented, although (as expected) there is a small amount of contact between the cleat and the ground, although much less than other shoes. As a result of the plate, the sole is somewhat thick, but that's the price you pay for having a cleated shoe that looks like a real sneaker. All in all I am satisfied.

The other reviews are right! Order an entire size smaller than you actually wear. Shoes are perfectly weighted and extremely stylish. Clips are inset so you can walk on the shoes with clicking. These are my first bike shoes and I can definitely say I'll be shopping for more Chrome products in the future. Bravo!

It's hard not to love the style, but in the end I had to return these to Zappos because they were flawed. One cleat nut was accidentally glued to the sole, making it impossible to adjust the position. I could have lived with this, but when I was installing one of the cleats, the nut proved to be too weak for the torque applied, and broke off onto the bolt I was tightening. They were comfortable when I tried them on and wore them around the house before installing the cleats. Other reviewers saying they run a half size large turned out to be correct, most people should probably order a half size down from what they usually wear. Width is narrow, but these shoes are very forgiving, I wear a EE usually and didn't have a problem.

I actually haven't used them yet, but they are really nice. I do usually wear size 13 and these are 12. Buy smaller!

I had ordered these three days ago. They look sharp and a bit on the heavy side. Walking on them were a bit awesome because they do not flex due the the sole. People are right about the sizing (if you decide to order, order 1 size or half size smaller). I wore them for about an hour and a half during my 18 miles ride. They do not fit right and have no arch support. The right pinky and adjacent toe felt restricted and had no circulation; I loosened the laces and that was too loose. I am returning the shoes today.

I think the class of people that needs shoes like this is likely quite narrow, but it is just about perfect for those folks. These are by no means the best walking shoes. And they are by no means the best riding shoes. But there are not any better option if you want to walk around after riding somewhere without looking like a goofball or bringing a second pair of shoes. I guess the third option is not riding clipless, but I would just as soon not go there so long as Chrome is making these shoes. I use mine with eggbeaters and have never looked back. I used to change my pedals regularly to reflect my desired footwear, but no longer. More cleats on more shoes!

Not a bad shoe. I've been riding with and wearing these off bike for about a month now. Great support for riding, just need to keep laces with an atheletic weave. Decent for walking off bike, wouldn't wear them unless I was riding also. With the Clips mounted, they crunch/tap on concrete and stone but are fine on asphalt. I have even started to take the clips off with my alien tool and put the rubber stops back in while off the bike. Overall a decent shoe if your a person who mixes riding with life.

A little stiff if you're doing lots of walking, but you'll really appreciate that on the bike. Similar fit to All Stars.

Buy a half to a full size down and prepare to make some sacrifices if you want a sneaker for clipless riding. Having a shoe that is also a fairly comfortable sneaker is a bonus. Yes, there is a little clicking but not bad for a riding shoe. Stiff enough for support but flexible enough to still feel like a sneaker. As many people have said on many sites, the heel slip is a definite negative. I do not notice while I am riding. The main issue is this: to get the best fit possible for the heel, I ordered a whole size down (after trying a half). The toe cap is stiff enough that now I get pretty bad toe bang. Maybe try the Midway Pro first? All this being said, I do not know of anything else out there that is not hideous and/or impractical for a biking/walking use and I wear mine almost every day for errands. As always, Zapppos is great!

Good stuff! Cycled to the beach and walked across some berms, even a jetty made of giant rocks. Great if you're taking a short ride to a chill destination. They look like normal shoes but definitely don't feel like sneakers after a few hours. Can't wear them all day at work, and they get hot-spots if I ride over 50 miles. Perfect for the commute or a ride to a bar/show. I ordered 1/2 size smaller but they still feel snug. Wear and tear is at a minimum after 8 months of daily usage. Can't say the same about my CrankBros cleats, they are a bit worn from the occasional contact to the 'crete. Love them, but still have extra shoes at work and am looking for carbon shoes for the long rides.

The best part of these shoes is that I can commute in them and not feel like I have a pair of bike shoes on when I get off the bike. The shoes fit is not the best, even in a size smaller I still have a lot of heal slip, which can be a bit of a problem if you ride a track bike and your only means of braking is skidding. These shoes will still make a bit of noise when walking on concrete, like most bike shoes, but not as bad as a normal pair. The stiffness in the shank is great when riding but not the best for walking. Overall these are the most functional and visually appealing bike shoe for everyday commuting or casual riding.

Bought the Chromes for the obvious reason and absolutely love them. Great on my bike and the SPD system works as well as my old road bike shoes. Comfortable to walk in and out of work and around in on errands. Don't think I could ever just wear them for a full day of walking about, because the platform for the SPD is so rigid. Great stylish shoe, but it takes awhile to break in and I would probably get a half size smaller next time (while breaking them in, they tended to ride up and down my heel until I could lace them tighter after the canvas gave a bit). Anyway, great shoes and I'd buy them again!

Super comfortable and they look like normal shoes. So, it's not weird when I walk around school all day in them. The only problem I have with these, are the shoelaces. They get caught in my chain because there isn't a very practical restraint. I have resorted to tucking them into the elastic band underneath the laces which is sufficient.
