@qckpckt
been using my chromes daily since posting about them in this thread.
As for the sizing, I'd recommend trying them out first. Chrome themselves recommend buying half a size smaller than normal.
I did that, but they actually felt VERY snug when I first put them on. Almost too tight. I think shoe sizes are so variable between brands (at least I find that) that its hard to judge what's going to be right.
Anyhow, I chose to ride them despite their snugness and they have now loosened up enough to be comfortable to wear all day long should I choose to (I don't, as my place of work has a glass staircase, and I don't think cleats and glass go well together)
The lace guard is very good, no obvious wear or damage this far, and they are veery nice and stiff. Better in that regard than my similarly priced cheap specialized mtb shoes, certainly.
