I took off my socks and there was a cut on the back of my foot from these. Probably from the hard upper heel material. Anyone else have this problem? I think cutting the back of the foot is one of the original complaints the shoes had when they were first released, though I haven't notice it the 2 days I've had mine (Midways). |
I got mine yesterday. They fit pretty well. They are the same size as my Samba vulcanized, and same size as my superstars. They were about a 1/2 size bigger than my chucks though, but I usually get chucks 1/2 a size smaller anyway.
They seem pretty nice. The cloth is a lot thicker than the chucks. And the sole is stiff! |

Anyone else have this problem? got grey kursks last thursday. wore them saturday, walked around maybe 3 miles that day. the heel is falling apart and threads are showing. also my left shoe only had one metal endcap instead of both like my right shoe. I like the shoes, and at first i would consider buying them if i need to get new shoes, but seeing as they only lasted about 5 hours before showing noticeable wear... |
I definitely wouldn't pay $70 for these. Maybe $40.
|
that's what i was thinking, but i buy all my shoes at outlets and rarely pay more than $40 (and that's only if I feel like being spendy)
after the way mine have been though, i'd probably spend 10 max |
It looks like I missed out on this by a month. If anybody has a size 10 mens that they don't want or doesn't fit I'll take them and pay shipping.

Got 10.5 Midway's in Grey... Exactly what I requested (except I got black sole instead of white, no big) so major props to Chrome for that. I wear 10.5 in Vans and these seem slightly too big... My foot doesn't slip once they're snug, but only my big toe occupies the space underneath the toe cap, so they feel a bit odd walking in.
I'm curious how riding in these with clips are? I use clipless, but I would assume if they're half a size too big for everyone, the front of the toe clip would end up putting half a size less of foot on the pedal surface... Not something I'd want to mess with. Other than the sizing, they look pretty good. $90 is steep, but if you think about it paying over $50 for a bag seems pretty steep too. I don't mind dropping a lot of money on something as long as I can get longevity out of it... On the same note, even if I paid for them and they last me a year, it would be better than my last (and final) pair of vans I bought that lasted 4 months for $45. |
Rode 48 miles today in The New Chromes.
Very Nice. I am now a Hipster. That is 34 Chevy http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...ls/34Chevy.jpg |

Does you hair ever get caught in you chain? Did you get the free Chrome shoes? |
Easy with the 'insults', big guy. The mods might shut this thread down too.

So what are you doing on this thread trying to insult a mod?
|
