Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the initial article in this series here: Choosing a type of footwear. Since the very first winter cycling footwear article appeared in February, we've had one good snowfall, which has almost entirely melted away in the past two days of temperatures inside mid-sixties. Excellent cycling weather, even without winter footwear, and considering how mild this year has been, now's the time to negotiate a great price over a pair of cycling shoes for pick up. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you purchase your winter shoes larger than usual, from half a size to two sizes bigger than your street shoes, to accommodate thicker socks or liner inserts. Weight. One reason road cyclists switch to cycling shoes, apart from the efficiency of locking to the pedal, is often a lightweight shoe. When evaluating models, look at the specifications for the weight with the shoe. Typical heavy boots of the type worn by workers in refrigerated or unheated warehouse spaces, as an illustration, while ideal for working on ice cold floors, are extremely heavy for the majority of road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin have discovered, if the cycling keeps you outdoors for a long time, and cost is a factor, industrial workboots will be the best solution. Ease/Speed. The shoelaces, drawstrings, Velcros, and the like with a boot or shoe could be too difficult to accomplish up while wearing gloves. Is that a problem? If you won't arrive at try boots on personally, read reviews that touch on the simplicity adjusting, donning, and taking off the footwear, and whether any laces trail and wish to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups of the best winter cycling footwear, brand names that come up repeatedly include Lake, Shimano, and Sidi. On Bicycling.com, the Shimano MW80 cycling boot was most lauded in the four reviewed for warmth in snow and beneath the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only compatible with four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you will have to switch pedals to work with these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is one of three available from Winter Cycling Shoes which is only $198, under the $230 from Bicycling.com. On the first page, the website owner recommends his own Northwave Celsius 'Artic' Gore-Tex cycling shoe for mountain biking, at $179.99. This Gore-Tex shoe review praises the Sidi Diablo GTX ($320) as a very light shoe, and warm and dry. The Gore-Tex is a big feature on this Livestrong article, which highlights that 'Many cycling shoes use rubber or composite soles with holes for mounting pedal attachment cleats; for that reason, few cycling shoes remain waterproof when submerged.' The review recommends the Specialized Defroster MTB ($165) shoe for wet weather, less so for cold. The praise is repeated by BikeRadar, who admits that this Shimano is a better winter shoe as well as a fantastic all-around cycling shoe. Other talking points are how easy they may be to take on and off, especially while wearing gloves. The Northwave CELSIUS J GTX ($199) shoes are advertised as creating a special technology for lacing them up, the SLS or 'Speed Lace System.' Another Northwave fan: ProBikeKit Team. Cyclocross Magazine writer jliberles writes that if you need shoes to stand up to severe winter months, the Lake MXZ302 ($250) is up for the challenge. Compare on the Bicycling.com rated Lake CX140 ($190), which gets good reviews but is not thought to be strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
