I've had a pair of Chrome Kursk SPDs for about 10 years and I've used them for my daily commute for 3 of those years. They've held up incredibly well and these new shoes are even half as good I'm definitely getting a pair

Those look real good. The Shimano CT-5 has been serving me extremely well as a casual spd shoe for almost 3 years now and I have a another pair brand new in the box. Best spd shoe I’ve ever had and I do own some fancy fizik infinito x1 shoes but those are way too narrow for my liking, the shimano CT-5 may not be as fancy and stiff but they are super comfortable on and off the bike on and off road.

Love the look and feel of the Kursks. My only gripe was that the SPD cleats stuck out so much that the shoe was slippery indoors. Mid stride the shoe would slip. Fixed it by supergluing cut out strips of an old inner tube around the area where the cleat was. Definitely made the shoe walkable.

OD green is a color that you can't go wrong with.

If they made an spd version of that green shoe you unboxed I’d have to try it, that one looks awesome.

The green ones are the singularly coolest examples of cycling footwear extant.

Yeah would have died for them in spd, but it’ll be fun to ride in them on flat pedals too

Pretty fly kicks!

Can you do a detailed ride review on these ? Maybe Do a ride with gravel and then one with a fixed gear . Goods and bad. Would like to know how stiff they are for riding

Damn you for making me click the link and spend $111.95 on shoes I never heard of or knew I wanted before!!

I'd be awesome if the soles of those kicks would have the exact same tread pattern as the Panaracer tires!

DANM those look so SWEET. Are the shoe laces reflective?

I need those green ones with SPD cleats!

Subscribed! I don't want you to remove the sole from my shoes. 🤣

Nice shoes oh yeah

I'd love the lace ups to have the tan sole.

As someone who will daily vans until they die the Kursk seems like a good option. A little bit more expensive but I think your getting more. But I’ll have to see if they fit.

They look great 👍A little disappointed the didn't use the SK tread pattern 😂😂😂

I actually prefer the old ones. Like you said there like the dad skateshoe haha and I'm all about that look at the moment 👌

omg im about to purchase one pair and you don't know how much size info helped me, usually wear 42, 42.5 o 43 on my vans because they fit different each model haha, My feet are a bit wide and I usually wear thick socks. do you think chrome shoes would fit me properly? thanksss great video!

Knew you'd do a video about these.

Nice shoes

Sweet

Soleless is the new tubeless for shoes

I need those Kursk AW 2.0 on Olive leaf colorway

I don't even ride clipped in and you make me want to buy these.

Very nice shoes. I bet they don't come in size 50 though. Putting lace holes in the boxes is probably the closest I'll get to these.

Hey Eric! Is it possible to change the insoles of the kursk aw pro?

For the price the DZR's are still good shoes, been living out of mine as a bike courier no problem for the past couple of months

How are the weight of these new shoes? I find my Chrome Kursk to be a bit heavier than my mountain bike shoes. The durability is great and I love the flatter soles but they seem be bit of a slog on longer rides.

Spinney - stealer of soles

What did you spray on your hitch?

I'm not a skater, so the old black/white SPDs look just like the new all black SPSs. They both look like beefier version of the tenny runners of my youth. Those canvas shoes were not very comfortable or long lasting if you actually ran, jumped, kicked and did all the other day-in-day-out stuff that kids did. So, they just look so old fashioned to me. I do love the color olive, and I like high top shoes. So, I'm going to look into those Southside 3.0s in size 9 1/2 for flat pedals!!! I refuse to buy a clipless bike shoe - long live flats and cages!

What I have learned from this. They are great looking shoes. I have really large feet.

Most mom's buy them because they A LOT cheaper and they don't know if the kid is going to use them for skating in a month or on to something else

I'm still on the fence. I've read online where the shank snaps near the holes for the cleat bolts. Maybe I'm just reading into the negative reviews too much? There's not many merchants near me that sell Chrome shoes and if I do run into issues I don't really want to be stuck paying freight back n forth.

Removing the soles from at least half of my shoes shouldn't be too hard; they're half off already, except for the ones that are half gone. They are all relegated to lawn-care duties. I have only one new GOOD pair of shoes from New Balance, which I used on my 60 mile "ride my age" birthday ride on Thursday.

It looks like, from the box, it's unisex sizing. Men's sizing is two sizes larger than women's. So, in my case, I wear a US 13. So that, in women's sizing, would be a 15.
