from Moscow, Russia Date Reviewed: April 10, 2012 Strengths: —Warmest shoes i could find. —Protect against both cold and water. —BOA mechanism is very handy: very easy to take the shoes on and off, very comfortable fit. —After one winter season, i got no problems with heels coming off, etc. Weaknesses: —If BOA laces break, i'll have a hard time finding a replacement. —When cleats are in the foremost position, large sole bumps kinda get in the way when you try to connect to the pedals.

from MA Date Reviewed: December 8, 2011 Strengths: These boot will keep your feet warm and dry Weaknesses: The plastic where the boa lacing loops through can sit in an uncomfortable place on your foot.

from Anchorage, AK, USA Date Reviewed: March 19, 2010 Strengths: They are somewhat warm, I used them down to about -17 (f) but could not last more than a couple of hours. Make sure you buy them big enough for your favorite sock system. I think they're best for temperatures ranging +15 and above but not much lower. Weaknesses: ***Warning*** I purchased these shoes at the beginning of winter at a local bike shop. I used them several times a week for about 4 weeks. I noticed that the stitching on BOTH heels came undone. Shortly thereafter the rubber heel separated from the leather boot upper. They are still useable but for the amount of money I spent on these I expected a much better quality. I emailed Lake and received no response (not surprising). Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any trail Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $260.00 Purchased At: Local bike shop Similar Products Used: Usually use flat pedals and lightweight snow boots Bike Setup: Fatback Aluminum frame (snow/adventure bike), XTR pedals, and XTR shifters and derailers, Uma II wheel set, Surley Larrey 3.8 (front) Endomorph 3.8 (back)

from Kansas City, KS Date Reviewed: January 24, 2008 Strengths: These boots are very warm. Have done numerous training rides in the teens and never got cold toes. Weaknesses: After 4 rides all the stitching on the right heel cup came out and the boot almost pulled in half. I talked to the owner of the bike shop and he said both of his (purchased at the same time) did the same thing. After I had them sewed up (which had to be done through the neoprene, waterproof layer) I was out riding and the boa system on one of my boots snapped in the middle of the cable for no apparent reason. Boot is also fairly heavy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $210.00 Purchased At: Local Shop Similar Products Used: Sidi Dominators with shoe covers Bike Setup: Mostly ridden on one of my cross bikes so far.

from Prattsburgh, NY Date Reviewed: December 5, 2007 Strengths: cozy, toasty on a morning commute in the teens(about an hour). Great fit. The Boa lacing system kicks, really snugs up the foot nicely and evenly. Vibram sole really helped out in a raging snowstorm this week where I had to jump off on a steep climb on a semi plowed backroad. Nice reflective accents. Nice insulating toe bed...first shoe I've had in winter that I didn't feel the cold coming up from the cleat area, a notorious problem with other shoes. Just about worth it on that point alone. Undoing the lacing system is easy...clever design. Weaknesses: none so far Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: mine Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $270.00 Purchased At: Lickabike.com Similar Products Used: booties and toe warmers. Bike Setup: Rocky Mountain Rail, my dedicated commuter with Nokian Hakkepelitas(106 studs).
