I got to ride around in the rain in the Kursk shoes yesterday and today.
Overall, they sucked.
They we're highly water resistant though, and didn't just absorb all the water.
however after just one day they reaked to high heaven, I have shoes that have been riddin in longer and in fouler conditions that don't smell near as bad.

The shoes were also highly uncomfortable, especially to walk in.
I think it's in part to the fact that they decided to end the fiberglass mid sole right under the ball of the foot. It makes it do neither job well.
The other reason is the heel cup, why on earth would anyone need a heel that stiff on a low cut shoe. seriously the heel had zero play.
Both my heels have blisters.

And before someone says they were designed to ride in, my clipless mtn shoes are more comfortable to both ride in and walk in.

The "Lace Garage" is just plain stupid and ineffective.
Also they shoes are damn ugly.
Only the Arnhem looks half decent.
