With Labor Day just around the corner we have to accept that winter isn’t too far off, but that doesn’t mean the riding has to end.45NRTH has introduced its new Fasterkatt she for winter cycling. While looking like a serious boot it is offers water resistance, moisture regulation, and comfort in the 25 to 45 degree range. These cycling shoes offer a waterproof membrane and rubberized textile shell that extends above the ankle, while a proprietary insole is built with arch support and uses heat-reflective aluminum with wool felt to keep feet warm.
The Fasterkatt is reportedly the first cycling shoe to utilize microglass outsole rubber technology to enhance surface traction while walking or running on slippery surfaces. The bottom of the shoe is even sealed to prevent moisture from coming in through the cleat slots. The shoes will get ready for cold weather riding beginning in October.
