Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Chrome Industries Dima 3.0 Slip Ons feature a hardy build that’s tough enough to survive hard and regular use riding around the city – whilst still being sufficiently stylish that you actually will choose to use them that much. The stiff sole is great for when riding, however it does result in a bit of heel slippage when walking. If you have low-volume feet, those issues are only compounded, as there isn’t – as their name suggests – any way of tightening the shoes.

If you’re looking for stylish shoes which can also put up with the heavy wear and tear from the best flat pedals with their highly grippy pins, then the third iteration of Chrome Industries’ Dima Slip-Ons are an excellent shout – if they fit the shape of your feet, that is. 

With the slip-on design there’s not much that can be done to fine-tune the fit - either they work for you or they simply don’t.

I’ve been hooked on bikes ever since the age of 12 and my first lap of the Hillingdon Cycle Circuit in the bright yellow kit of the Hillingdon Slipstreamers. For a time, my cycling life centred around racing road and track. 

But that’s since broadened to include multiday two-wheeled, one-sleeping-bag adventures over whatever terrain I happen to meet - with a two-week bikepacking trip from Budapest into the mountains of Slovakia being just the latest.

I still enjoy lining up on a start line, though, racing the British Gravel Championships and finding myself on the podium at the enduro-style gravel event, Gritfest in 2022.
