[Closed] Why no winter specific boots for flats?

avdave2 · 2011-12-16T13:39:40Z

I've noticed a lot of posts recently where people are asking for advice on winter footwear for flat pedals and there doesn't seem to be much out there. The AM 41, the Teva Links and water repellent Vans have been mentioned but none of them come close to the spd offerings from Shimano, Northwave, Specialized and others. So why not - I've decided to try flats after 25 years of riding off road with either toe clips or spd's and I'm really enjoying the experience and want to stick with it but there seems to be nothing out there to match my MW 80's. I can understand that Shimano want to concentrate on spd shoes as they don't want to compromise the sale of pedals but why no other options? Is it that the vast majority of riders who ride right through the winter all want spd's?

interesting thread...for the last few seasons I've been using
Scrapa Zen's , for a little more cash there's a Goretxt version availible. Vibram sticky rubber sole, and good quality build and aesthetics.

Must say I agree with the an earlier posters comment about some cycling shoes looking a bit 'special'!
