Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the very first article on this series here: Choosing a design 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 within the mid-sixties. Excellent cycling weather, even without winter footwear, and considering how mild this year has been, now's the time and energy to negotiate a fantastic price with a pair of cycling shoes for the coming year. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you buy your winter shoes larger than usual, from half a size to two sizes larger than your street shoes, to allow for 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 into the specifications for that weight with the shoe. Typical heavy boots with the type worn by workers in refrigerated or unheated warehouse spaces, as an example, while just the thing for working on ice cold floors, are extremely heavy for most road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin can see, 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 over a boot or shoe can be too difficult to complete up while wearing gloves. Is that a challenge? If you won't be able to try a pair of boots on personally, read reviews that touch on the simplicity adjusting, donning, and heading out the footwear, and whether any laces trail and wish to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups with 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 in the four reviewed for their warmth in snow and beneath the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only appropriate for four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you'll need to switch pedals to work with these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is one kind of three offered by Winter Cycling Shoes which is only $198, below the $230 listed on Bicycling.com. On the top of the 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 often a big selling point on this Livestrong article, which suggests that 'Many cycling shoes use rubber or composite soles with holes for mounting pedal attachment cleats; due to this, 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 the Shimano can be a better winter shoe as well as an excellent all-around cycling shoe. Other talking points are how easy they 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 when you need shoes to face up to severe the winter season, the Lake MXZ302 ($250) is up to the challenge. Compare on the Bicycling.com rated Lake CX140 ($190), which gets good reviews but is not regarded as strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
