Duration Product Used:

Price Paid:
$80.00
Purchased At:
MEC
Strengths:
Lots of velcro, high cuff, durable sole, doesn't let water or wind into shoe, takes front cleats for extra grip. Fits my Crankbro's MTB pedals no problem.
Weaknesses:
Very toasty - get sweaty feet above freezing. Shoe made for all feet shapes so can be sloppy inside (my heal for example). Tends to hold onto gravel in big holes of sole.

Bike Setup:
Year round MTB commuter in Calgary. Ride down to -20°C. Used to use pathetic too-big MTB shoes and 3x socks + neoprene booties. No more now!!
Bottom Line:
Did what they said it would do : keep my feet warm! My advise for riding colder than -10°C is to buy 1/2 size larger, throw in foot bed for extra insulation, and double up on winter socks. If below -15°C and you're going more than 35-40mins then overbootie recommended. Also really happy with water repelling in sloppy wet conditions. Overall even if they were to crap out now they've done the job for the winter and I'm very happy with them. Well recommended.
