Chrome IndustriesLower Southside Pro SPD Cycling Shoe(Return to Product Page)

I like this shoe. Some things I like about it are the stiff bottom. I also do not use cleats so I appreciate the screw in plug on the bottom. I like the short laces and these shoes are good for walking around. They do not feel too hot in hot weather, which was a surprise. I'll be interested to see how they perform in the winter months in Upstate, Rochester, New York.

Very well made and great for my commute to work. They come big so consider ordering a size smaller that you would normally buy. The only reason I put 4 stars is that there isn't quite enough rubber on the bottom to cover the cleat. It could be my cleats are extra thick but I still click on hard floors when I walk.

Just rode to work for the first time with these shoes. Very well made and feel great while riding and walking. I can still hear a slight click when walking on tile but the rubber covers the cleat for the most part. The come a bit big. I ordered a half size smaller than my shoe size and the fit great.

The rubber sole did not cover the cleat. For this reason, I considered these shoes useless and donated them to the Good Will.

My only problem is it dont come with cleats. The shoe is very well build easy to get started with once you have cleats on hand. I had it for a month now it's stil sturdy no crests ride fivedays a week in em.

Excellent fit and versatility. Paired these shoes with Shiimano pd-a530 pedals (platform one side, clipless other side) and works like a charm. On flat terrain, I use the platform side and switch to clipless for hilly terrain. Switching around allows for different foot positions and provides good circulation for feet and ankles. Shoes look great and allow for stylish and normal, comfortable walking away from the bike. Highly recommend shoes (and pedal combo).

The shiny plastic leather didn't look very nice once I got it in person.

Plus the build quality on the construction of the sole (particularly gaps between the white sole binding and the sole itself) was disappointing.

I returned these.
