Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the very first article with 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 has almost entirely melted away before 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 for it to negotiate an excellent price over a pair of cycling shoes for next season. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you purchase winter shoes greater 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 switch the signal from cycling shoes, besides the efficiency of locking on the pedal, is often a lightweight shoe. When evaluating models, confirm the specifications to the weight of the shoe. Typical heavy boots in the type worn by workers in refrigerated or unheated warehouse spaces, as an example, while great for working on ice cold floors, are far too heavy for some road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin can see, should your 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 on the boot or shoe might be too difficult to do up while wearing gloves. Is that a problem? If you won't be able to try boots on personally, read reviews that touch on the simplicity of adjusting, putting on, and taking off the footwear, and whether any laces trail and need to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups in 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 in the four reviewed for their warmth in snow and under the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only works with four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you'll need to switch pedals to utilize these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is one of three provided by Winter Cycling Shoes which is only $198, less than the $230 for auction on Bicycling.com. On the top of the 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 really a big feature on this Livestrong article, which indicates that 'Many cycling shoes use rubber or composite soles with holes for mounting pedal attachment cleats; for this 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 the Shimano is really 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 having 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 winter weather, the Lake MXZ302 ($250) is up to the challenge. Compare towards the Bicycling.com rated Lake CX140 ($190), which gets good reviews but is not regarded as strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
