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!

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

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

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!

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.

As per Chrome's recommendation, buy a full size smaller than normal. Fit is good, cleat fits well into bottom, riding feels like my other Look cleats with Pearl Izumi shoes.

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 cycling shoes are pretty cool, mainly because they don't look like the freaking Moon Boots that most cycling shoes resemble. The soles are stiff like a good cycling shoe, and my cleats mounted in about 2 minutes.

These shoes are really nice SPD compatible sneakers. Unfortunately, they ran so large I had to return them and buy them locally since I wasn't sure what size would actually fit, if any. Beware the size issue if placing an order for these shoes. I ended up getting a full size lower than what I normally wear.

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!

Gorgeous, luxurious, can be worn multiple ways with multiple things... still, pretty spendy! I wish it were not this many dollars.

Ah, expensive, but worth it...just like us! Beautiful colors, very versatile and stylish. And designed by Marc Jacobs - what more could any fashionista want?
