Product information "Celsius XC Arctic GTX - MTB Winter Shoes"
Warming MTB winter shoe with GORE-TEX® : the Celsius XC Arctic GTX® from Northwave
Power is transmitted to the drivetrain via the reinforced Jaws Carbon sole with a stiffness index of 8.0. The heel area made of natural rubber stands for extreme grip on any surface.
The upper shoe has an overlap construction made of the most innovative materials: it perfectly wraps the foot, avoids pressure points and transmits every watt of power to the drivetrain without loss. Additional TPU reinforcements provide 360° protection across the entire upper shoe.
An easy and consistent fit is provided by the SLW2 twist closure system. The only one of its kind, it provides millimeter-precise adjustment and customization of the shoe with its micro-step grid.
The new Easyfit Climaflex entry zone combines the extreme flexibility of the Gore-Tex Rattler® membrane with the high thermal insulation of neoprene, guaranteeing mobility and cold/wet protection.
The ergonomic heel shape with its anatomical fit thanks to the latest thermoforming technology combined with our Arctic 4Layer insole made of EVA + Aluminum and EVA + Pile ensures excellent thermal insulation. For greater safety in low visibility conditions, the 360° reflective inserts.

Sock tips for Gore-Tex® bike shoes
The socks worn in shoes with Gore-Tex® must match the functional characteristics of the shoes. Although you might think that thick socks are the first choice to protect you from the cold, they have a serious disadvantage: the thicker the sock, the less able it is to wick perspiration away from the foot. In the worst case, the sock even soaks up sweat completely. This creates the unpleasant feeling of dampness and wetness. However, this does not depend on the shoe. The wetness comes from the inside. So it's better to wear slightly thinner socks made of a functional material that wicks moisture away to the outside and thus promotes evaporation through the membrane pores.

NRG Air Carbon sole
The NRG Air Carbon Reinforced sole is even stiffer thanks to a new blend of fiberglass and carbon reinforced nylon. Like the entire collection of road soles, this sole is equipped with the Airflow ventilation system, which provides optimal air circulation inside the shoe thanks to the openings.
S.L.W.3
The new SLW3, developed by X-Dial, is absolutely unique and offers ultra-fast, micron-precise fastening. This compact mechanism is very easy and intuitive to use. For gradual opening, simply press the button - or lift the button to open the shoe completely at once.

Material
Textile / Synthetics / RubberSind meine ersten Winterschuhe zum graveln. Bis 10°C reichen mir immer meine Sommerschuhe mit Wintersocken, für Temperaturen darunter habe ich mir nun diese Winterschuhe gekauft. Die Qualität ist gut, die Sohle schön steif und der Verschluss funktioniert prima. Die Fütterung ist innen auch schön weich und bequem. Leider habe ich recht lange aber schmale Füße. Größe 47 ist bei mir in der Länge passend, jedoch minimal zu schmal. Es geht schon aber für meinen Fuß nicht das beste. Etwas passenderes habe ich da leider auch noch nicht gesehen. Die Stulpen schließen bei mir eigentlich ganz gut ab, obwohl ich dünne Beine habe. Die sitzen zwar recht locker, aber schließen winddicht ab. In Bewegung tut sich mal ein Spalt auf, aber nicht störend. Letztes Wochenende hatte ich nun Schnee und Temperature von -2 bis 0°C, da habe ich die Schuhe für 4 1/2 Stunden getestet. Ich war in den Schuhen mit 1 Paar Sommersocken +1 Paar Wintersocken gewappnet. Die Zehen wurden leider trotzdem kalt, aber natürlich um Welten weniger als mit meinen normalen Schuhen inkl. Überzieher. Es war kalt aber aushaltbar. Jedoch waren die Schuhe die ganze Zeit über komplett wasserdicht. Ich muss bei diesem Test auch eingestehen die mitgelieferten (offensichtlich wärmeisolierenden) Einlegesohlen gegen andere getauscht zu haben, evtl. mach dies auch einen Unterschied. Da ich selten unter 0°C Temperatur habe ist das für mich aber auch soweit zufriedenstellend. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Der Einstellbereich für die Cleats liegt wirklich sehr weit vorne und lässt nur sehr geringe Drehbewegungen zu. In der hintersten Position komme ich gerade so hin, bin aber dennoch einen guten cm von meiner gewohnten Position entfernt. Wie ich gelesen habe scheint dies leider bei den Schuhe von North Wave üblich zu sein.
Leider sind die Neopren-Stulpen viel zu weit und schließen nicht richtig mit dem Bein ab. Man braucht eine zusätzliche Überschuhabdichtung. Das war bei den Vorgängermodellen viel besser.
Die beste Wahl, wenn man einen breiteren Vorderfuß hat und nicht extra auf ein Wide Model ausweichen muss. Wo Sidi, Gaerne und Shimano drücken, bietet Northwave Platz und Komfort. das allein ist doch die halbe Miete. Die Thermoeigenschaften und die wasserabweisende Membran überzeugen voll.
