Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the 1st article in this series here: Choosing a kind of footwear. Since the 1st winter cycling footwear article appeared in February, we've had one good snowfall, which includes almost entirely melted away in the past two days of temperatures in the mid-sixties. Excellent cycling weather, even without winter footwear, and considering how mild in 2010 has been, now's the time to negotiate an excellent price on the pair of cycling shoes for next season. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you get your winter shoes larger than usual, from half a size to two sizes larger than your street shoes, to support thicker socks or liner inserts. Weight. One reason road cyclists exchange signal of cycling shoes, other than the efficiency of locking on the pedal, can be a lightweight shoe. When evaluating models, confirm the specifications to the weight of 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 most road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin have found, if the cycling keeps you outdoors for hours, and cost is often a factor, industrial workboots will be the best solution. Ease/Speed. The shoelaces, drawstrings, Velcros, and the like with a boot or shoe can be too difficult to do up while wearing gloves. Is that a problem? If you won't reach try a pair of boots on personally, read reviews that touch on the tranquility of adjusting, gaining, and removing the footwear, and whether any laces trail and want to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups from the best winter cycling footwear, manufacturers 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 his or her warmth in snow and beneath the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only suitable for four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you will have to switch pedals to use these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is one kind of three provided by Winter Cycling Shoes and it is only $198, below the $230 from Bicycling.com. On the first page, the site 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 being a very light shoe, and warm and dry. The Gore-Tex is a big characteristic on this Livestrong article, which points out 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 how the Shimano is a better winter shoe as well as a good 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 having a special technology for lacing them up, the SLS or 'Speed Lace System.' Another Northwave fan: ProBikeKit Team. Cyclocross Magazine writer jliberles writes that when you need shoes to square up to severe winter weather, the Lake MXZ302 ($250) is up for the challenge. Compare to the Bicycling.com rated Lake CX140 ($190), which gets good reviews but is not regarded as strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
