Northwave Extreme R GTX Winter Boots

When it comes to maximum pedalling efficiency and unrivalled weather protection, you can't beat the Northwave Extreme R GTX winter boots. The Duratherm Kelvin Gore-Tex® membrane blocks wind and rain while also locking in warmth.

Motivated to Ride Whatever the Weather

Riding in the freezing cold, wet conditions of winter is difficult and takes both motivation and the right kit. And when it comes to your feet you can fuss around with your normal road shoe and overshoes kit combo and still get cold feet or, instead, enjoy the sleek weather protection of the Extreme R GTX winter boots. Thanks to the Gore-Tex® Duratherm Kelvin membrane, featuring insulating hollow-core fibres, these are shoes that provide you with warmth, rated down to -15 degrees Celcius by Northwave, total wind protection and reliable waterproof performance. Comfort is superb as the weather turns cold, wet and nasty. 

At the ankle, the flexible Easyfit Climaflex collar allows easy pedalling but with its Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane also prevents water from getting in. Inside the shoes, the Arctic 4layer insole adds another layer of insulation from the cold -   the four-layer aluminium and fleece construction works with the Gore-Tex membrane to deliver outstanding warmth even when you're cycling in temperatures below freezing. 

Efficient Winter Pedalling

It's not just about weather protection though. Pedalling performance isn't overlooked either. Just like the summer version of this shoe, the Extreme R GTX winter shoes get the stiff and efficient Morph Carbon 12 AAS sole unit. A full-carbon insert at the pedal area imparts outstanding support for a stable pedalling platform while the stiffness rating of 12 out of 15 guarantees direct and positive power transfer, just what you need when building winter miles. 

XFrame ® Excellence

When it comes to long-ride comfort there's little that matches the snug-fitting XFrame® upper. This innovative design holds the foot firmly in place but does so without creating pressure points. The system is closed via Northwave's own SLW2 ratchet system, allowing precise customisation of the fit, even on the move, as well as an easy release at the end of a tough winter ride. 

Cleat Guidance

These Road Shoes are compatible with road bike pedal systems that use cleats with 3-bolt standards, such as: Look Delta and Keo, Shimano SPD-SL, Speedplay Light Action, Zero, X-Series (via 3-hole adapter plate), Campagnolo Pro-Fit, Mavic Zxellium, Time Iclic/Xpresso and Time Impact.
