I posted this on my blog and just wonder what experience others had had with Chrome shoes.
I'm not much for buying bike specific clothing but recently decided to try a pair of Chrome shoes. My son has one of their messenger bags and the whole "guaranteed period, built to last forever" sales pitch attracted me. I've got to admit, I like them, they fit well right out of the box, are made of a really sturdy canvas type material and the bike specific features are all in the sole. The arch support is pretty rigid, not like a regular bike shoe, but obviously more for riding than walking and the insole feels softer and more substantial right on the ball of the foot where we need the extra comfort. The material is dense enough to provide a little better wind protection than your normal slipon and keeps your toes a little warmer on the cold days.
