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

I'm skeptical about this, but look forwards to seeing some size 13 prototypes or stock!

All shoe prototypes are a size 8 DUHHHHHH

I'll ask the guys what size runs they're planning

Sure that means their designs are only proven for people with small feet?

Suede :-( poor cows, I'm out because I'm a god damn hippy. The ugly ones I linked to are vegan, if that's your thing.

Something about skins being a by product of meat so they'd have died anyway = not your fault about the dead cow if you get the shoes.

I have lots of justifications for all the bad things I do.

Nah, doesn't cut it for me, which is annoying as buying shoes is a pain and I've turned down a couple of awesome leather jackets, fucking morals.

Never happens, the techniques used to optimise one output reduce the quality of the other so far that it wouldn't sell.

Wrong kind of steroids?

Im a size 8, get me some test ones!!

Hi.

I currently have LOOK delta cleats - but they're a pain because I have to carry around spare shoes everywhere. The time has come to replace my cleats and shoes, so I think I'm going to go for a new set up.

What's a good system for in shoe cleats, so you can get off the bike and just casually wander around without messing with cleat covers, spare trainers etc?

Google hasn't been so helpful.

you havent looked hard enough

"good system"

Google doesn't do well on providing recommendations derived from experience

Chrome,Keen,Quoc Pham,MW,Van's warner,Tevo,DZR ect you haven't googled hard enough , retrofix could sort it

Can you recommend any particular brand?

You could just go for mtb clipless rather than road. You can pick up a pair or specialized BG sport in good condition for about £30 on ebay - there always o there if your looking for a cheap decent entry level mtb shoe. Once you've worn down the lugs from walking around, just buy another pair - That's what i do anyway.

Time ATAC are, according to a lot of people, the best system for daily use. Their entire price range is good and they never disengage themselves during skids (that has happened to me with Shimanos SPDs)

Thanks for the advice. On the Ebay now.

SPDs?

I've worn the DZR's for a year and now a shimano mtb trainer, both with spd's. The shimano have held up a lot lot better. But would lose style points with some...

I alternate between my DZR and £25 ugly as fuck Shimano SPDs, pros and cons to both. If I know I will be doing more walking than cycling then I would go for my DZR, otherwise, I put on Shumano. Both are walkable.

I really like my DZR Dices but the durability is still shocking around the sole part with the rubbed trim coming away from the shoe all over the shop.

however mine have gotten soaked a number of times.

I did a quick search and couldnt really find anything.

I just saw the chrome lower ss pro is now on sale and was going to grab a pair, but thought I would ask here first if anyone has a reason that they are not so good?

Hope to hear some opinions. Cheers,

Here's 17 pages of opinions..

had a quick look at the chrome sale and the shipping from the states is something like $58 which doesn't make them that much of a bargain. Was interested but that hefty shipping pricetag put me off.

Would advise you, if you're in london, to pop into kinoko, who seem to be the only chrome shoes stockist in the shire, so you can try them on, as they seem to size slightly bigger than you imagine..

I have some chromes, I like them, they work well..

Y U want ship me?

I've been using the same pair of DZR Mambas that I got on sale (£35) for about a year. They were lasting pretty well up until recently, now the velcro is peeling away from the straps and the sole sidewall thing is coming away at the back. Might be something to do with me riding in the rain more recently.

I am just going to do the same thing I do for skate shoes and buy a tube of shoe goo to fuse them back together. With judicious application I reckon I can make them last another year at least.
