Sensacionales.
Pros: Duradero, buen precio, Atractivo, Cómodo, Alta calidad, Regulable, Ligereza, Buen ajuste
"Las acabo de recibir y son sensacionales. Se adaptan como un guante. Estoy deseando probarlas en invierno, pero por comentarios en foros y demás, son perfectas para climas no extremos, aunque si con valores negativos hasta -10º. Para menos temperatura lo recomendable son las Artic. Mi número es un 44 y medio, y hay que pedir un 46. Utilizo plantillas anatómicas que me caben perfectamente en el interior. Creo que ha sido una buena compra."

Great for winter use
Pros: Durable, Comfortable
"I use these with Night Vision city overshoes and Woolie Boolie socks throughout the Austrian winter.when temps can fall to -20 and there is snow and ice all around. At, -15 to -20C my toes can get a bit cool but above -15 to +10 they are great.. Above +10 they are too warm and I swap back to my summer shoes!!
I have used them for twos seasons so far and they are still looking good but I do keep the worst of the crud off by using overshoes.
The grip when walking on the ice and snow is not good and the trip from the bike shed to the office can be precarious.. The toe studs seem to make things worse and also wore holes in my overshoes.. The toe studs can be removed easily which helps.."

Possibly my best ever bike purchase!
"So long as my feet and fingers stay warm and dry when I'm riding, I don't really mind what the conditions are like.
I went through a number of pairs of overshoes, and they were nothing but a disappointment. In heavy rain, I'd find water getting in from underneath where they didn't seat properly against my SPDs, and they generally fell apart after a month or two at most, again from the bottom up.
Since I got these boots, I reckon they've just about paid for themselves in not replacing overshoes, and they're still pretty much as good as new. They are very comfortable, and the Goretex works brilliantly - no rain coming in, but no sweaty build up.
The hardest thing is gauging whether or not I need to wear waterproof trousers over the top of them, as obviously the boots can't do anything about keeping feet dry if there's enough water coming up off the road to soak down through my socks.
I would definitely recommend these boots, and if they ever wear out, will look to replace them with the same.
One minor word of warning, however. The four studs at the front of the soles (designed to give traction when walking in mud, which they do) were obviously very loosely screwed in when they arrived, which I only discovered when one fell out. It took a bit of wrangling with Wiggle (as Northwave were trying to claim it was reasonable to expect users to tighten the stud screws before every ride!) to get a replacement sent out, but I've done around 1,000 miles since that first tightening of the screws, and they're still as tight as ever, so just make sure you check them when you get them."

Cómodas y calientes
Pros: Cómodo, Versátil, Buen ajuste
"Buscaba unas botas para montar en invierno y estas son las ideales. Impermeables, las he metido en un rio y no se me mojaron los pies, calentitas y lo mejor es que el pie no acaba empapado por el sudor.
Excelentes y fáciles de poner.

Good Boot
Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"Nice boots, not as warm as I hoped but I did get the next size up so I can use an extra pair of socks when its -10. Wiggle were the cheapest and had stock, took a week to deliver. Other companies are foc next day delivery! Nice lacing system and very happy with purchase.

Pros: Durable, Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"The sizing of these shoes (2011 model) is just like my casual shoes.
I ordered 1 size larger, as usual with cycling shoes, and it's really a bit too large. It fits just fine when wearing double socks, though. They are roomy and suitable for thicker/wider feet, but can be tightened nicely for slimmer feet.
The shoes are warm and properly waterproof, but I am disappointed by their breathability.
at 8-11°C: wearing Gore Bike Wear Alp X Cycling Socks (medium thick, mainly polyamide), the shoes get soaked in sweat. My feet remained comfortable, toasty, not too hot, partly thanks to the highly wicking socks.
at 0°C, 6BFT: wearing just Gore Bike Wear Alp X Cycling Socks, my toes froze after an hour and never properly warmed up :(
at -2°C, 3BFT: wearing Gore summer socks + DeFeet medium thick merino socks, my feet felt perfect
at -4°C, 5BFT: wearing Gore Bike Wear Alp X Cycling Socks + DeFeet medium thick merino socks, my toes got a little chilly after an hour, while my feet and the inside of the shoes were a little damp.
In conclusion, in order for these shoes to attain their rated performance of >-5°C, you need to wear 2 layers of winter socks and only in this case you might want to go 1 size up."

a must have item
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, High Quality, Good Fit, water proof
"i pondered over this item for some time, but i really do not know why. i would recomend this item without any hesitation, if your thinking about getting a pair just do it. the amount of time spent out in the rain and mud with feet soaking wet and really cold!
i could have brought these a long time ago and saved myself a lot of hardship.
they keep your feet dry in all that the british weather can throw at them.
They keep your feet nice and warm
One thing i did do was to have a half size bigger just enough to have a thicker pair of socks on.
i normally have a size 8.5 - 9 but went for a 9.5 (43)

"Greay shoe, fit and easy to lace (even with freezing hands). Has already transformed my winter riding. Gone are the days of returning with freezing, wet feet that take hours to warm back up."

First pair of winter shoes. so happy
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, Adjustable, Good Fit
Cons: not as warm as advertised?
"why did I wait so long to buy winter shoes?
These things are awesome. use them for commuting for about 3 weeks now and could not be happier. I do notice that they are not as warm with one pair of wool socks. My toes are numb in 20 degree F weather. Two pairs of wool socks (which I am glad there is room for) is plenty warm for 15 degrees F. Bring on the cold! I am excited to test the limits on these shoes. So far worth every penny. I especially like the closure system. Thumbs up northwave."

Winter cycling boot
Pros: Comfortable, High Quality, Lightweight, Good Fit, waterproof
"This is my second pair, the originals were good but the new ones are a definite improvement with the omission of the laces, these are easier and quicker to get on.
I did 15k in my first pair over several years and whilst still waterproof the studs were worn - too much off bike walking

An excellent pair of 'bad weather' boots
Pros: Great Value, Comfortable, Rugged, High Quality, Good Fit
"I have been using these for the last few months in rain (lots of it) and where the weather has been about zero celcius. They keep my feet very dry and if the ride isn't too long warm. I have still had cold feet on long rides, but nothing like when suffered if I just used normal overshoes.
They fit well, a little on the large size, which is good as I wear two pairs of socks!
Although not cheap, I think they provide good value.
They definitely fall into the category of "there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad kit"."

Great Boots
Pros: Attractive, Comfortable, High Quality, Adjustable, Lightweight, Good Fit
Cons: Expensive
"There's a little else to add to what others already said. They are warm in sub 0 temp, comfortable and adjustable with both summer or winter socks and lightweight even if they could look bulky. Something very important for me, they are absolutely waterproof so you can clean them worn on your feet using a pressure water cleaner and no humidity trespass the fabric. I just used them a few times but I'm pretty sure they will go along with me for years. Highly recomended."

Oooo Warm n dry
Pros: Durable, Comfortable, High Quality, Rugged, Adjustable, Good Fit, warm n dry
"Got these following a very cold and wet outing in the Peaks which left me with blue toes, even with my waterproof socks. Used these 3 times so far in very cold temps (lots of wind chill too) on wet trails with roasty toasty feet every time. I like the closure system which is really secure and the fit is wide enough to get some thick socks into although I tend to wear 1000mile running socks in them. To clean them, I simply hose them down as I clean the bike after a dirty ride. They are quite expensive but then again I put quite a high value on my toes - no more near frostbite experiences."
