Chrome

Good-looking, well-constructed shoe. Very stiff and felt too narrow, though, so returned.

I have yet to wear them, but I LOVE the style of these shoes. I followed Chrome's advice of ordering a half size smaller than a regular street shoe and I found that to be far too small. I wear a women's 9.5 and the 8 fits fine. These are obviously well-made, sturdy shoes and I hope they last me a long time.

The Chrome Southside 2.0 is a sturdy, well-made, thick canvas shoe. I ordered these and the 415 Workboot by Chrome to see which ones I liked better and ended up choosing the workboot. Even though these are described as black, they're really more of a dark grey.

These are some of my favorite Shoes I've ever bought. I bought them for work in the kitchen because they are non-slip but I love them so much I'm wearing them everywhere. They are simple but not boring with lots of great details. Feel super durable.

I’m usually size 12.5 and sometimes have to buy 13 in some brands but these size 12 fit well. I had one eyelet break after a couple weeks but Chrome support treated me well.

These are fine, not great support but fit and function well.

I wear these every day for my work. They give me the ankle support I need but I would like to see more support in the arch. I love the material and the look of them.

These look cool enough but that's where the compliments end. They are very uncomfortable, no cushion, no support, no structure. They are called "work boots" but a couple weeks in the sole is coming off! What gives? Zappos won't take them back, I'm just stuck with a junky pair of shoes.

I really wanted this boot to work considering I have a difficult time finding an affordable boot. However, I found this boot to be too wide and even though the boot is made of a material similar to a sneaker, it was still somewhat heavy. But, then again, it is a work boot. Also disappointing, the tongue area of the boot was slightly painful on the leg after tying the boot regardless of how loosely it is tied. This boot was returned after realizing I probably would not wear them if I kept them.

I have this backpack for about 4 months now (super late review) and I have loved every moment I fiddled with it. As we all know, it is really 'an empty bag' that brings out the 'worst' appearance in backpacks, but Chrome managed to make a Pike that looks good, on your back, no matter empty or full. When it is not filled to the brim, the compression straps really keeps the profile low despite being flat. The lack of any creases or crumples would make the bag seem like it is truly that streamline. Very happy with my purchase overall. Spacious interior, wide bottle-carrier side pouches. Only downside is the soft-backing that would bend at the bottom whenever you set it down on the floor. That minor flaw is otherwise invisible and indifferent to the functionality of the bag. Highly, highly recommended. PS, not a biker here though it would 110% appeal to one.

Diagonal side gore gives the basic slip on some swank. Very comfortable as well-love these

As should be expected with all Chrome gear - this Pike backpack doesn't disappoint. It's alittle smaller than I expected not at all too small and will more than fit all the average daily carry gear. Well made. Tons of pockets - all very easily accessible. Great feel and fit.

These are super cute, the weight is great, and I love the stiff sole (I commute 12+ miles by bike each day) However, they are a little tight and the heel cup is extra stiff, resulting in major blisters. Once properly broken in I found them really comfy and the tight heel cup is nice in preventing my foot from slipping out, the "breaking in" phase was pretty sucky though.

These were my favorite biking shoes until I got “clipless” pedals (you know, the kind you clip in with...). They’re still great walking-round shoes. Love the elastic strap for tucking in the shoelaces, as well as the heavy metal ends on the laces. I replace the insole with a stiff orthotic. When I need to buy a second pair of clipless pedal shoes, I’ll try the version of this shoe that has that feature.

these shoes look awesome and i’m rating them pretty highly despite them being extraordinarily painful for me to wear lol. these are not for even mildly wide feet. my dad has EEE feet. i’m maybe E and have gotten away with wearing plenty of Ds over the course of my life. but these shoes are built like tanks... wayyyy stronger than anything by Vans, and so they don’t stretch much. I’ve even tried steaming them before wearing. Just be aware that if your feet are wider than a medium, you’re gonna have some sore lateral feet and pinky toes. i can only wear them for short periods of time.

AFTER ONE MONTH THEY ARE COMING UNGLUED.

Great shoes. Clean design and really well made. Make sure you order a size smaller than what you normally wear. Chrome recommends going a full size down for proper fit, and that is good advice. I got a size down from what I wear in Nike and they are perfect.

The Hondo has been a solid bag. I needed a basic weatherproof backpack, and Chrome has far exceeded my expectations. It's comfortable, accommodates everything I need to pack on a daily basis, and withstands the rigors of the city. Great price point for the quality, too.

I liked the style but it was too narrow. I’m a size 12 with a wider foot and it didn’t work on my foot. Nice style, though.

Received this shoe but the center flap was just black without the red patch logo. Very disappointed. A few reviews said to order half to full size down. Mine was true to size so I should have ordered my husband’s regular size 11 instead of 10.5. Returning

It would be nice if it came in size 8.5-9.5 in men.

i've had these shoes for over three years now. they have entered the pantheon of my favorite pairs of shoes ever -- and probably only five or so pairs of footwear from my entire life occupy that position. and i have lived for many decades. here's the deal: i bought these strictly for cycling because i was getting sore feet from the regular sneakers i was wearing. the soles on these were wonderfully stiff and protected my feet while cycling -- no more soreness. but yes, they were murder to wear just for walking. but then one day something magical happened: my old sneakers had become too ratty to wear, so i put these on. lo and behold, they had been broken in by all the cycling and were now super-comfortable. they look pretty cool too (all black with red soles). so now i see they're on sale and i contemplated buying a second pair -- even though the ones i have are still holding up, nothing lasts forever. alas, they don't have my size -- which by they way, is 10.5 for these and everything else. i'll check back again in a year or so, if i'm still alive.

I found these extremely rigid and uncomfortable. I'm sure they're durable, but the comfort trade-off wasn't worth it for me. Also, I wasn't crazy about the prominent red label. Some people don't mind conspicuous branding, but it's not my thing. It was more prominent than I expected based on the photos here.

I've had these for awhile before I wrote this review. They are comfortable, sturdy and well made and are water resistant. They have kept my feer dry in heavy rainfall. They are very stylish and cool looking casual lace boots. Like another reviewer mentioned, Chrome has discontinued the red tongue patches in favor of black, which I think looks much better. The only caveat is on wet slippery surfaces the bottoms do not have the best traction. Otherwise 5 star boot.

Great looking shoes, true to size, and well made. I would definitely buy another pair (in fact I probably will). I have already had multiple people compliment them and ask where they can get a pair. The only downside is a lack of arch support, which is a given with flat soled shoes like these. Unless you are standing for 8 hours straight you'll be ok. I wear them every day.
