Chrome told me I could send in shoes and request a different size sent out... Although I didn't do it, I wonder how many pairs of baby shoes they got...

Give them to some broad. ****, man, they're free and then you could pass on the love. You might even get laid and won't have to post on the internet so much.

Cycle Year Round
Pretty harsh WoundedKnee. I read the facebook page and the chrome website to figure out what size my wife would need.
What I found was:
Click the link below
https://www.chromebagsstore.com/shoes/kursk.html?c=105
and on the right side you will see a button "Size Chart" click it.
And then apologize to Chrome.
What I found was:
Chrome Shoe Sizes
Our shoes are all in US Men Sizes and fit true to size. Use the chart below to find your size

Got mine! I wear 9.5 with about 95% of brands I've tried, and these are about an inch too long. I'll try riding in them tomorrow.

And they basically said what Lorok said in a nice way:
"Note: There are absolutely no refunds for exchanges for your free Chrome shoes. If the new shoes don't fit, give em' to a friend or consider it a head start on your holiday shopping."
Now they're doing some kind of photo contest with the shoes.

According to my girlfriend, mine came today. I'm not expecting them to fit judging by what everyone is saying here. Guess I'll find out when I get home...

Cycle Year Round
Mine just arrived this morning by FedEx Ground. Pretty good the way they drive those trucks across the ocean.
I normally wear 10.5 or 11 shoes. Knowing that most cycling shoes run narrow for me, I ordered 11's.
I got the size AND COLOR I requested and they fit perfectly.
Thanks Chrome. Cool tax day gift.
PS - my turds were post marked the 18th and not suppose to arrive at Chrome before the 22nd May.
My gold was dated as shipping Apr 9th

Got mine today. Poop brown w/ red trim and soles. As mentioned above, they run a little big. But, I think they will work. Should have requested a certain color though. Poop brown, man!

Just got mine, Pretty nice, too big, but they'll work, just gonna have to extend my cages a lil bit.
Not great for walking around in but feel real good when I'm on the bike, also dig the 20% off an order from chrome of over 200$, especially since I already decided if these shoes work out I'm gonna buy a bag from them.

My one day of wearing and briefly riding in them:
Really stiff. Good, grippy sole. I like the "lace garage." So far, they've been a little uncomfortable, but that could be because they need to be broken in or because of the fact that they're about a half-size too big for me.

Just got mine today via fedex ground in a very flamboyant red (never had red shoes before; I knew I should've requested black lol).... I live right across the bay from them in SF and I'm pretty sure now you guys that they send out shoes by the order they process the packages of turds.....
In my case the kursk shoes were half a size larger than my size.... haven't really used them yet....

I got mine today in Minnesota. Stiffer than normal shoes but feel great on the bike. They were telling everybody that the shoes run 1/2 size bigger than normal, so I ordered according to that and they fit perfectly. They smell like they were just glued up yesterday!

I really, really hope I get mine today since I noticed yesterday that the tension bar on one of my ATAC pedals is cracked and I need to take them back to REI. The last time I rode on my tarck pedals in regular shoes it was so uncomfortable I went back home and swapped pedals after a couple miles. I'm thinking these might be ok, though.

oh got mine 3 days ago....
read that they run big, so i ordered a 11.5 instead of usual 12, and they fit fine.
VERY stiff, not horrible for walking around in but def not the best....but yes they feel good riding in, which i guess is what they're for.
i really wanted black, but got navy blue instead. at first i thought i did get black, since the navy blue is extremely dark blue. but being anal about colors and i pretty much always wear black i might take a fatty sharpie to the shoe lol
but all in all im stoked on them, glad the worn in shoes i dont wear anymore went to charity, and actually kind of stoked i got a sweet new shoebox to throw spare parts in lol
