okay had the DZR's for a couple of weeks, and with the current nice weather have been riding round in them alot and am now using them as my commute shoes, as I can walk about in them at work, without looking like a cyclist...
Fit nice, next pair I get will be these
as after you get used to straps and ratchets with sidi's tying laces again is a bit of a faff...
The insole they come with is a bit thin, and when you use it, you can feel the metal plate they've inserted into the bottom of the shoe to screw the cleat in and stiffen the sole, so I've swapped that out for a mutilated air max inner, which is quite thick and also means the half size that the shoe is out, doesn't bother me. On the bike they are great, had a couple of nervous unclipping moments as the lip of the trainer that surrounds the cleat, caught on the pedal, but you get used to it, work around it..
Walking is fine, on the weekend walked around borough market, then down from london bridge to westminster bridge along the south bank, edges of my feet started to ache towards the end, and I was dying to get back on the bike, but all was fine.
Really happy with them, would recommend whole heartedly. Did need to buy a stanley knife to cut out the rubber cover that covers the cleat holes, but I needed one anyways...
Will be buying another pair.
