Last year my toes froze, sure the little heat packs help, bu still with my regular SPD shoes, my feet freeze. Cold feet suck!
Today I had my first longish delivery ride in the cooler weather we are having and my toes froze
Time for some winter shoes/boots.
Right now I wear the Shimano MT42 SPD shoes
I wear them all day long, like regular shoes, I would rather do this with some winter shoes, instead of changing shoes when I'm off the bike.
Looking around it seems that Shimano has come out with some new shoes/boots and no longer make some other ones.
I found these...
Shimano MT91 GoreTex Touring/Hiking Shoes might be a bit overkill for Tokyo, but if they keep my feet warm and dry.....?
Then there are these.....
Shimano MT71 GoreTex SPD Touring Shoes
They also look good, and are more of a shoe than a hiking boot.
Next I found these....
Shimano MW81 Gore-Tex Winter Boots
I bet these will be super warm etc on the bike, but walking around all day in them....? Maybe not.
Right now I'm leaning more towards the MT71s, as they are very much like what I have, but are supposed to be somewhat waterproof and much warmer.
Does anyone have any of these shoes, or something else that would fit my bill?
I'll also be getting a pair of these for the really crap weather riding.....
