Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the initial article on this series here: Choosing a style of footwear. Since the 1st winter cycling footwear article appeared in February, we've had one good snowfall, that has almost entirely melted away in the past two days of temperatures inside the mid-sixties. Excellent cycling weather, even without winter footwear, and considering how mild in 2010 has been, now's the time for it to negotiate a good price over a pair of cycling shoes for the coming year. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you purchase your winter shoes greater than usual, from half a size to two sizes greater than your street shoes, to support thicker socks or liner inserts. Weight. One reason road cyclists change to cycling shoes, aside from the efficiency of locking towards the pedal, is a lightweight shoe. When evaluating models, look at the specifications for your weight of the shoe. Typical heavy boots in the type worn by workers in refrigerated or unheated warehouse spaces, for example, while ideal for working on ice cold floors, are so heavy for most road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin have discovered, if your cycling keeps you outdoors all night, and cost can be a factor, industrial workboots may be the best solution. Ease/Speed. The shoelaces, drawstrings, Velcros, and the like on the boot or shoe may be too difficult to complete up while wearing gloves. Is that an issue? If you won't get to try the boots on personally, read reviews that touch on the ease of adjusting, wearing, and starting off the footwear, and whether any laces trail and want to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups in the best winter cycling footwear, brands that come up repeatedly include Lake, Shimano, and Sidi. On Bicycling.com, the Shimano MW80 cycling boot was most lauded from the four reviewed for warmth in snow and within the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only appropriate for four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you will need to switch pedals to utilize these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is just one of three offered by Winter Cycling Shoes and is also only $198, under the $230 from Bicycling.com. On the most visited page, the site owner recommends his very 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) like a very light shoe, and warm and dry. The Gore-Tex can be a big characteristic on this Livestrong article, which indicates 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 the Shimano is really a better winter shoe as well as a great all-around cycling shoe. Other talking points are how easy these are to take on and off, especially while wearing gloves. The Northwave CELSIUS J GTX ($199) shoes are advertised as using 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 face up to severe the winter season, 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 viewed as strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
