why the either/or?
they are both designed to do the same thing, casual spd shoes, I prefer the look of the DZR's but I flexed the sole of the chrome's in store and they felt plenty stiff enough. Neither one of them are ever going to feel as good and snug as a pair of sidi's, but you'll look better walking down the street.
You should swap out the laces though, the one's that came with my ovis' were hella too long, and double knotting was a pre requisite, and even then they needed to be tucked in, which didn't stop them from coming loose and getting caught in the crank.
Ps I'm not sure how long people believe their cycling footwear should last for, a year? two? as long as the bike you ride them on? But there's nothing wrong with buying more than one pair, and changing between them, so some dzr's and some chrome's, so that you'll get more wear out of them.
that is all..
