What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "These are my go-to winter shoes—they’re surprisingly light for how warm they are. The Primaloft insulation and waterproof membrane keep my feet dry, and the BOA system makes it easy to dial in fit with gloves on. The carbon composite sole is stiff enough for performance but has just enough grip for hike-a-bike sections." Cold-weather riding doesn’t have to mean cold feet, and the Vittoria Polar Mountain Bike Shoe proves it. Built with a microfiber upper packed with Primaloft Gold insulation, this shoe wraps our feet in warmth without excess bulk. The waterproof membrane ensures our socks stay dry through slushy trails and wet commutes, so we can keep pedaling when the weather wants us indoors. The BOA L6 dial makes fit adjustments easy—even with winter gloves on—while the XECARB 10 carbon composite sole provides stiff power transfer for efficient pedaling. A Primaloft layer beneath the EFC insole adds extra insulation where it matters most, keeping heat locked in during freezing rides. With 2-bolt cleat compatibility, included toe spikes, and a weight that stays impressively low for a winter shoe, the Polar MTB blends performance with full cold-weather protection.
