Not exactly the warmest shoe, but with lots of positive feedback from the testers: the Celsius XC is very comfortable to wear - almost like a summer shoe. The stiff sole and slim fit make racers happy. However, the high neoprene sock could be a little tighter.

The Celsius XC Arctic GTX is ideal for demanding mountain bikers who do not want to compromise on performance even in adverse weather conditions.
