NORTHWAVE Fahrenheit GTX, Road Boot 2013- 47

Compared to many winter boots, the Farenheits feel and look far sleeker.The ankle cuff lacks the bulk of many of its competitors while doing a good job of keeping the heat in.The upper is made from Gore-Tex, providing the reliable waterproofing you’d expect from that brand. There are two storm flaps which Velcro-close over the lacing system. The tongue, too, is completely integrated into the boot, so there’s very little chance of water seeping in the front. These have been the only shoes to date that have kept my toes from going numb on 0°C rides.
