Comments on: Chrome Shoes Review – Sneaks for Geeks http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/10/21/chrome-shoes-review-sneaks-for-geeks/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:50:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Dylan http://the-gadgeteer.com/2009/10/21/chrome-shoes-review-sneaks-for-geeks/comment-page-1/#comment-65636 Dylan Sun, 13 Jun 2010 03:06:47 +0000 http://the-gadgeteer.com/?p=23740#comment-65636 I liked them for a while... First of all they are made in china, which was a bummer. The "crash pad" under the heel got detached. The Paper-like front half of the sole fell apart when I washed it, and the rubber perimeter is starting to get unglued from the rest... The shoelaces are tough, though. Other than that they are comfortable. I'll probably try to glue it all back together, and i'll have them for a while.

Not really... They are still pretty flat. But of course, you can pull out the insole and add your own orthodontics. @Rob O. Not really… They are still pretty flat.

I suppose it must be an American term for Trainers? What is it with “Sneakers” sounds like they are used by criminals to creep or sneak up on people.
