Whether you’re going for a short trail ride to beat your cabin fever, or trying to ride from Vancouver to Seattle on the winter equinox, a good set of winter shoes make the difference between recounting the event as a memorable adventure and a grim winter slog. Morgan Taylor of NSMB recently completed a mid-winter 200-mile ride through the rainy pacific northwest, but he was fortunate enough to be riding in the 45Nrth Japanther<\/a> winter boots, which were able to keep him warm and dry throughout<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Morgan commends 45Nrth on their clever design, with a stiff, supportive sole which is nevertheless grippy enough to walk indoors or on the trail with confidence.<\/p>\n

“The Japanther\u2019s outsole has chunky lugs made of soft rubber that land quietly on hard floors, which translates to decent grip outdoors.”
\n-Morgan Taylor, NSMB<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Japanther is designed to keep riders comfortable, even in wet and snowy weather, while remaining light. The shoes aren’t 100% waterproof, but highly water resistant and warm enough to ensure you stay comfortable, no matter the conditions.<\/p>\n

“The zippered cover does an excellent job of keeping the lacing system and liner clean, which makes getting back into the Japanthers after a wet day all that much more bearable.”

I wasn\u2019t planning on getting these shoes, but am I ever glad I did. My feet have never been happier on long and cold winter rides, from the trails to the road. Some part of that is having a shoe with adequate volume for big socks, but the winter-specific aspects of the Japanther\u2019s design keep my feet warmer and still drier than shoes and shoe covers ever have. It would be nice if the outer material was a bit more waterproof, but as long as my feet are warm, I\u2019m happy.
