Winter riding shoes...

You can feel that little gap and also it would probably prevent some water from getting in the shoe when it's wet.

Maybe this. VeloToze cuff

I got a fatbike Spring 2020 and am just now getting stoked to ride some snowy trails. I've seen a couple people post about 45Nrth boots. I've been eyeing the Wolvhammer. Have people had good experience with those? I'm not sure if I'd go clipless right away, do they have good grip on flat pedals?

Also, thoughts on pogies and best brands/models? I know its a little off topic, but I've got the attention of the cold-weather riders here...

Bumping this thread, I still use my neoprene over booties, but I ride so much that I think I might want to blow some money, as pulling those things on every time I ride is a pain.
I found some Northwave x-Celsius arctic gtx on sale. Anybody have any experience?

Can't comment on those but I've been digging flat pedals with some Etnies winter skate shoes. I don't ride a ton in the winter so it is nice to also have something that is also useful for throwing on to take the dog for a walk or whatever.

My $0.02 is that I will never again use a winter over boot as long as I live!

I bought a bunch of years ago some winter boots, Diadora I think. They’re no where near as comfy or stiff as my summer riding shoes, but feet are warm and dry w/o messing with the neoprene covers.

Depending on temperatures I find a thicker sock works for my Shimano AM7s pretty well down to mid 30s as do my 5-10 free rides on flat pedals. So unless on the road/gravel or really cold on the MTB the less ventilation of gravity shoes does pretty well for me when it’s not quite time for full winter boots.

My lowest temps I’m willing to go outside is around 10-15* though. So YMMV

If anyone is looking for winter shoes I’m selling a couple pair. Specialized Defroster (39s I think) and 45nrth Japanthers (46 ). Wifey and I just use flats and winter boots more…pm me for pics and prices.
