Chrome: Kursk

I've just receive the Kursk shoes by Chrome a couple of days ago and I haven't stopped wearing them since.  Usually, I tend to be a bit leery of ordering on-line but these run pretty regular sized.  The first day they were very stiff, not unheard of, but have progressively loosened up.  The shoe so far seems to be of great construction.  The outer layer of fabric seems like it is going to hold up after much wear and tear.  My first reaction to picking the shoe up was that they are quite heavy but then remembered that is a pretty easy task from being used to slip-ons.  The rubber toe guard is great!  When pulling up on my cages, I no longer feeling my toes trying to press up and through the metal.  The extra sole, Propulsion Plate and Crash Pad Cushioned Heel, make riding through Philly seem like I've found a way to keep my feet off the pedals and still pedaling.  It was definitely a strange feeling at first to not feel the pedals at all when stepping on my bicycle, like I said, I am used to slip-ons with a worn out sole, but now I'm getting used to the feeling and its great. 
This isn't as much related to the quality of shoe but a testament to their look.  Every time I leave my house, I have gotten a compliment on my shoes!  So all-in-all, great pair of shoes so far.  As time grows longer,  and the shoes start to wear-in I will write further on my idea of the Kursk.
