Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the 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 before two days of temperatures in the mid-sixties. Excellent cycling weather, even without winter footwear, and considering how mild this coming year has been, now's the time for it to negotiate a fantastic price with a pair of cycling shoes for next year. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you purchase winter shoes larger than usual, from half a size to two sizes bigger than your street shoes, to support thicker socks or liner inserts. Weight. One reason road cyclists switch to cycling shoes, aside from the efficiency of locking for the pedal, is a lightweight shoe. When evaluating models, check the specifications to the weight from the shoe. Typical heavy boots of the type worn by workers in refrigerated or unheated warehouse spaces, as an illustration, while just the thing for working on ice cold floors, are so heavy for the majority of road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin have found, if the cycling keeps you outdoors all night, and cost is really a factor, industrial workboots may 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 difficulty? If you won't reach try boots on directly, read reviews that touch on the simplicity adjusting, wearing, and starting off the footwear, and whether any laces trail and want to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups with 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 of the four reviewed because of their warmth in snow and under the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only compatible with four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you will need to switch pedals to use these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is among three which is available from Winter Cycling Shoes and is also only $198, below the $230 for auction on Bicycling.com. On the most visited page, the site owner recommends their 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 characteristic on this Livestrong article, which points out 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 that the Shimano is really a better winter shoe as well as an excellent all-around cycling shoe. Other talking points are how easy they're to take on and off, especially while wearing gloves. The Northwave CELSIUS J GTX ($199) shoes are advertised as developing a special technology for lacing them up, the SLS or 'Speed Lace System.' Another Northwave fan: ProBikeKit Team. Cyclocross Magazine writer jliberles writes if you need shoes to square up to severe winter months, the Lake MXZ302 ($250) is up for that challenge. Compare to the Bicycling.com rated Lake CX140 ($190), which gets good reviews but is not viewed as strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
