Which decent casual SPD shoes? Dzr, Chrome, Quoc Pham, etc

Thanks Corny, a far more detailed reply. I'll be asking the guys at 14 next month then!

Checked these out while in Vegas, they are nicely made and although not greatly stiff they are way better than clips n straps IMO.
More top work from a very well run company.

A+

yo hammer tile, so that means they are a good halfway house for those who want to be able to walk for an extended period of time?

Yup, they're just like a pair of vans with cleats.
If I'd not been so skint while out there I would have bought a few pairs to bring back, 1 pair to keep the others to sell to nice people.

When are you back big man, must be anytime now no?

back in two weeks, for the bike show, and then fingers crossed leave again in november..

Went to Bike 14 to check out the Mission Workshop shoes.

It's better than I thought it would be.

Underneath the insoles, it's entirely plastic like a cycling shoes, and pretty stiff when I twist the shoes, the heel side flex a tiny bit more than a typical cycling shoes (comparing to a Mavic MTB shoes), but plenty stiff enough.

Let see how other find it.

DJ has had a pair for a few months now and says they're pretty good!

Well their shopping cart is up and running. So, I went to buy a pair from the US of A today, but the buggers don't deliver across the pond:-(

Anyone know when those Chrome Kurk's are coming out?

Anybody tried these out? Or know of similar/better?

Yeah sorry, found that just after I had submitted the post, unfortunately when I searched previously I had "titles" ticked so got no hits.

don't worry, as long as it answers your questions, best to go into shop14 if your in london and have a look at them, think i'll purchase a pair when I'm back in town in the new year, just for tooling around in..

Why trainers are called sneakers? is it a slang of some sort to describe the type of shoes that burglar wear?

TokyoFixed just got some in as well, Condor says they're thinking of bringing them in too.

Man picks up telephone...

Hi is that Mission workshop?

Yes, yes it is.

Great, I'd like to buy something that makes me look like a spaz

Oh, yes. I see, a spaz. I'm sure we have something here.

Long pause while MW man thinks...

I have just the thing for you, Rondels the man exclaims!

Great news, I'll be over in a jiffy!

Man rushes out to buy

says the man dressed as a pig

Oink, oink.

They seem pretty good.

Why not the MIssion Workshop? they look quite impressive and doesn't look like a baby shoes like the 661 Filter.

Review look good I have to admit.

because the mission workshop ones cost more

Excellent point my friend.

They are about as stiff as a wet kipper, fine if you're commuting but otherwise pretty crap...

I've got sidi dominators for commuting in. They're mainly for going to friends houses and that.

any word on these:

?

Why has nobody made a rubbery cover thingy to cover/protect cleats and give you grip if you're walking around?
