• They are nice. Lighter than my DZR h2o’s, and good fit for my slimmish size 9’s.
    Bit of a squeeze to get them on with the socklike upper they’ve got, but once on you don’t really notice it. Walk easy enough in them. Not a fan of the semi Velcro “arch” strap though. Feels like a bit of an after thought and just kinda gets in the way when putting on or taking off.
    Missus says they look better on the foot than they do out of the box.
    No tap of cleat when I walk, but that might be because these cleats are a bit worn.
    On the bike, feel fine, not much flex when pushing relatively hard. Sockliner keeps your foot in place, didn’t have much movement of my foot in the shoe when pedalling.

    Overall would give them an 7.5/10 score could get higher depending on longevity and how they deal with cold and wet..

    Like these much more than the fizik terra ergolace’s I brought, which are a touch big. I’ll probably sell those on..

    Done 25 miles in them today and my feet feel good..

  • That's good to know!
    I've actually been really pleased on the whole with the Chrome Southside 3.0's I bought. The inside of the heels is worn out now, probably thanks to my skinny feet allowing them to move around a bit, but the outsides are in great condition still. No rips or worn through sections. Nothing has come unglued etc
    I think I will go with these again when I finally need to replace them.

  • what is the sizing like on the south side 3.0 pros? order usual regular shoe size? they recommend sizing down half a size on their website. but I usually size up for cycling shoes...
