Northwave Celsius GTX
BikeRadar verdict
"Superb pedalling performance and overall stiffness, but cosy comfort is lacking"
Northwave’s winter boots are always popular with riders who are after high performance while others hibernate – and it’s easy to see why.
The reinforced sole is as stiff as most race shoes, and the whole upper is very rigid too, giving a rock solid feel throughout. The Speed Lace system cinches down snugly and works well with gloves.
The sole-sealed Gore-Tex liner comes up high inside for dry paddling, while the wide spaced ‘Jaws’ sole tread and optional toe studs mean loads of clambering grip. But the upper flap and collar are uncomfortably stiff at first, and even when softened need leaving loose enough to let splash/rain water in.

User review of Northwave Celsius GTX
Very easy to put on, tie-up and velcro shut..... although ridden in very cold weather, my toes remained warm(ish) comfortable and enough room to my wiggle toes.
