"The now unmistakable and reliable MULTI CONTACT SYSTEM unlike traditional systems on the market, allows the traction of the first closing band of the shoe distributed on 2 CARRIERS. BOA® Fit System offers high adjustment comfort for a quick fit, even when taking off the shoe.
Two BOA Li2 with coated steel cable (replaceable), allow you to achieve direct contact with the shoe. The now unmistakable and reliable Multi Contact Closure System, developed in the CRONO research and development department, allows an incredibly enveloping closure, distributing the pressure on 8 points, eliminating the annoyance of the front tab.
Its thoughtful details such as the anti-slip lining and the laser-designed side vents for ventilation, combined with an exclusive closure technology make this CR1 our top of the range. The 6-layer woven carbon sole ensures that you transmit every single watt of power to the pedals. VerdictĮxtremely comfortable yet very stiff road shoes – these are lovelyĬrono says: "CRONO CR1 is the super light carbon bike shoe that combines performance with very high comfort. ConclusionĪs I said, these are the most comfortable road shoes I've ever worn, but at the same time they're very stiff for excellent efficiency and very easy to slip in and out of – nobody likes to faff around getting shoes on and off, after all. They have knitted uppers, too, if you prefer that. The Udog Cima Pure Blacks are a very close competitor, though, at £220 and 586g. The Fizik Tempo Decos Carbon Wides Matt tested (read his review here) are lighter at 446g (albeit in a similarly childlike size 7), but the insole is basic, adjustment is limited and the price is higher.

On the other hand, the dials are metal and do look like they're off a 1970s TV set, so there's that. Also, they don't even have pull-to-release dials. The Specialized S-Works Torch road shoes are £385 and only 87g lighter, even in the scale-model-like size 7 Liam tested.
ValueĪt £223.20 (that's a permanent discount by the sole UK importer, Merlin Cycles, so we're taking it as the effective rrp) these are hardly cheap, but you can pay considerably more for much the same thing. I almost always need to wear a size larger than my 'street' shoes, and ended up having to swap the test pair for a replacement in my actual size (the weight given is for the size 45s). Weird, huh? Given that road shoe sizes are typically as random as lottery numbers, that's a surprise. Be aware that Crono has gone rogue and makes these shoes the size they should be according to the number on them.
