I've just never tested them past this point. I guess I should. I would like to get a pair of Keens (sandals) for touring, just for the sweaty, hot, humid months here. I've heard those are good too.
I like Chrome's shoes so far. I wear em' everyday I bike. Also, ingenius "lace gutter" idea. Tucks laces away so there is no danger of catching them in the chain. Woo!
