Another pet topic of mine. friends and I bought them on line from CRC.
Went to lbs = no we dont need them in 'straya !!
How good are .........Northwave Celsius 2 GTX winter shoes are awesome warm, well made , waterproof.
Been wearing them 5 months of the year for 5 years at least.
Just buy a size bigger than usual shoes and wear extra socks cos the standard ones dont have much extra insulation but are warm because they dont let the heat out of the top or water in .
If you have a low volume foot put a thicker footbed in.
Friends with wide feet bought the Shimano version which are good.
Sidi are for narrow feet.

I bought a pair of Extreme RR goretex last year (for road) and overall they were really good, kept me warm and dry (in a Tassie winter). Fit well and were comfortable. Things I didn't like, they were super hard to get on and off (they did break in a bit though)...and... they stunk, liek really really stank. Not sure if it was something I road through, my toxic sweat or the cat peed on them...or they jsut stank. Washed them, scrubbed them, deoderised them a bunch. Nothing worked, couldn't keep them in the house. GF made me toss them they were that bad.
NW sizing is different to most, about 1 full size down if looking at Eu sizes
SO I bought some Mavic Ksrium thermo pro goretex, which are really good, feel a bit smaller than the NW's . But warm and cosy and so far don't stink.
To go with that I bought some Sidi Frost Goretex for mtbing, didn't like these so much and even though they are the same size as my other Sidi, they are a bit big and I coudl never get to fit right. (size 45 if anyone want to buy them)
So then I bought some Mavic Crossmax thermo Pro goretex, cause well I like the ksriums, and these are also really good. (If i do them up wrong, a bit of the tounge digs in, but otherwise they are perfect, road them on an over 2 hour wet ride the other day, warm and dry and comfortable. Also like the ksrium really easy to get in/out of.
So if anyone want some sidi frost (45) going cheap, hit me up. (or go find some NW (44) at the launny alndfill)

i have a pair of the nw goretex boots, bought from probikekit , called the arctic raptor, pretty happy with mine except a tiny bit of webbing came loose at the top of the boot, have been warm, not too heavy & kept feet dry till it runs down your leg, and sock fills

same sizing as shimano i’ve found, i’m a 45 in both, people told me to size up 1 size with the winter boots, i decided not to & made the right choice for me, don’t have a wide foot though, the winter boots are a bit more hugging than a normal shoe
