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

So can anyone recommend good innersoles for spd shoes? Could do with some on my sidi's as well as my Prolly's.

what are these like? do they last? they're not cheap but i don't mind spending if they'll last and 'do what they say on the box'.

bit too shiny for my taste

I got the Kursk ones about a year ago and they're still holding up and I use them daily. When I bought them though I thought they were mis-sold by wiggle where they were described as "weather proof". I still have no idea what weather they are proof against. They're not waterproof, they're not cold proof, and they are sweaty in summer. But they're the best construction I've had for a trainer that you can skid in as the sole is good and stiff.

Saw these on Wiggle too, was'nt sold on them to be honest. I can't see how they'd be weather proof with no real membrane or constructional protection. Gore lined would be better, but very sweaty on warmer days. SPD's are seemingly better all round, but not for me. I use vans, and on bad weather days use Seal Skinz socks..... not bomb proof, but better than blue toe syndrome.......

They're very good, better than Mission workshop's version.

Hi

I am after, well I am wanting to try, SPD/SPD shoes. I am not a fan of the normal SPD shoes that you see and was wondering an alternative, I have seen the Chrome and DZR shoes but wondered if there are any others and also what they are like to wear.

So if anyone has had some experience with a pair good or bad then please reply.

Thanks

Thanks clefty!

UK10 low top

How do they fit then? Are they a true UK 10 size or bigger?! Say when comparing to Nike...

Wish Nike did the Whistler SPD style shoe still..

don't know/care if anyone is interested but, bought a pair of the bontrager street shoes, (cheap)
thought they looked a bit special needs. took the velcro off, and punched then laced them. look more like old skool road shoes now.
dead comfy, and you could probably get away with wearing them at work.

That's a massive improvement! They look really nice and much better with laces.

thanks johnny

Would black polish make the stitches stay black? They look really nice!

possibly, have to give it a go, and thanks

I've finally taken some picys of the shoes I made but wanted to sell as they're too small.

Anyone tried the DZR Minna yet?

they look a bit more comfortable than chromes, which are really eating at my heals atm

I guess they'll fit the same as other DZR shoes like which Scoot and I think Clefty have. I've not heard any complaints.
My Nike's may finally be breaking, the holes for the laces seem to be wearing through from constant pulling on, they're not reinforced like the DZR ones.
I'm thinking of getting those Minna's eventually.

ordered some dzr midnight

/csb

i spoke to always riding (uk dzr disto) and they have no date or price point yet for the minnas
