This would be great! Perhaps TE will take this under consideration. I really like their shoes and they are more affordable than Sidi for the most part.Quote:

Catrin, the link just says "men's winter mountain bike shoes."
Perhaps the sizing chart is simply the stock sizing chart they always post, I don't know. If the men's sizes go small enough they might work.Quote:

How Many Pairs of Bike Shoes Do You Own? Let's not talk about that.
What is Your Next Pair? Sidi Diablo if Sidi could figure out that people with small feet also ride in cold weather.
I just ordered a pair of the Louis Garneau 0º Ergo Grip shoes from Performance. I've been eyeballing them for a while and the price was SO right! These things retail at most places for $200. Performance usually sells them for $180, but have them on sale/clearance for $160 minus an extra 20%. They have them in a 41, which should work for me. My 2 other pair of LGs are 40s, but all reviews suggest the need to size up a full size for these. So $128 before shipping.
Reviews are mixed on them...some people find them to be warm down to really low temps, other people find them to not be warm much below freezing. I should hopefully have room for toe warmers between the inner shoe and neoprene shell, as well as heavier merino socks. Plus I am a wuss and likely won't do much riding if it's really cold -- that's the ideal time to lace up the running shoes.
DH just found me a pair of Northwave winter mtb shoes that I can wear with my Frogs. They are in the UK; same as where I found my winter road shoes. The smallest size is 37, which is what I wear, but it said they run big. I'll take them and wear my thickest socks if I need to.
I rode my Kuota the other day and wore my winter shoes; it's so much easier to just put them on and go instead of dealing with toe warmers, booties, and chemical heaters (I've done all 3 together for temps in the low 30s).
I've got my one pair of Specialized Tahoes. Once I manage to get my hands on some road pedals, and after a trip to Cincinnati to try them on, I'll be buying a pair of Sidi road shoes. Winter shoes are still a problem, though.
I got my Northwave Artics today. Will check them out tomorrow night when I ride at 4 PM.
Frog cleats are already installed.
