Can someone recommend a warm waterproof (no mesh fronts) pair of road shoes for winter riding? Being able to walk in the shoes would be a bonus. Which have tread around outside of shoe, like MTB. But need to have three hole cleats for LOOK SPD pedals. Ideally need these http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/acatalog/info_shimano_brw02.html in a shoe any ideas?

    I wouldn't bother with new shoes, just get some waterproof over boots and a warm pair of socks, that's all most people use.

    Hi David I have actually bought the over socks. They are a pain to put on and take off each time. Is this what you do?

    Absolutely. I know thay can be a bit of a pain, and the ones I've got are pretty basic so I do have some issues with them, but look around and see what else there is on the market, I think some are simply pulled straight on over your shoes (mine are all velco straps). I've only ever seen one pair of shoes described as winter shoes, on Wiggle I think, I don't remember who they were made by and they were expensive. I will be sticking with overshoes due to versatility and cost.

    There are lots of deals around at the moment for Diadora Chili Sport and Chili Extreme shoes in both road and MTB versions.

    Just got a set of the Chili Extreme Road version myself for £50.00 as the soles are the same as my road and tri shoes so making cleat set up a doddle. Have yet to try them on the road but they are a quality bit of kit for the money and super warm and comfy.

    I have some great carbon fibre road shoes BUT i commute too and so need some that i can walk in and that keep my feet warmies in the winter! I am also having trouble finding some that are like mtb shoes but that have the three holes. Will check out the ones you mention above.

    hi again, well in the end i did go for news shoes, shimano MTB, leather front black three strap cant remember model now, good deal from wiggle.co.uk, although did a club ride on wednesday and they were not that warm. outside temp was only 11! am sure it will get colder than that. should have gone a bit more on price and paid for the warmth! a dam sight warmer than my summer tri shoes though, and at least i can walk in them now! even if it means changing pedals.
