Shopping online for winter cycling footwear - Springfield Cycling See the first article within this series here: Choosing a style of footwear. Since the initial winter cycling footwear article appeared in February, we've had one good snowfall, that has almost entirely melted away previously 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 good price on the pair of cycling shoes for pick up. Shopping for shoes online Size. It's recommended that you purchase your winter shoes larger than usual, from half a size to two sizes greater than your street shoes, to allow for thicker socks or liner inserts. Weight. One reason road cyclists switch the signal from cycling shoes, other than the efficiency of locking towards the pedal, is really a lightweight shoe. When evaluating models, look into the specifications for your weight from the shoe. Typical heavy boots of the type worn by workers in refrigerated or unheated warehouse spaces, for example, while great for working on ice cold floors, are so heavy for many road cycling. But as Pedal People Constantine and Wergin have realized, in case your cycling keeps you outdoors for a long time, and cost is really a factor, industrial workboots will be the best solution. Ease/Speed. The shoelaces, drawstrings, Velcros, and the like over a boot or shoe may be too difficult to complete up while wearing gloves. Is that a challenge? If you won't get to try a pair of boots on in person, read reviews that touch on the ease of adjusting, donning, and starting off the footwear, and whether any laces trail and wish to be tucked up. Hot Brands In roundups of 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 because of their warmth in snow and within the coldest road cycling conditions. Note that they 'are only works with four-bolt, SPD-style cleats, so you will have to switch pedals to make use of these boots while riding your road bike.' This shoe is just one of three available from Winter Cycling Shoes which is only $198, below the $230 listed on Bicycling.com. On the front 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) being a very light shoe, and warm and dry. The Gore-Tex can be a big selling point on this Livestrong article, which highlights 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 really a better winter shoe as well as a fantastic 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 developing 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 winter weather, the Lake MXZ302 ($250) is up for the challenge. Compare towards the Bicycling.com rated Lake CX140 ($190), which gets good reviews but is not viewed as strong a competitor for really severe weather. |
