Can anyone recommend some which are waterproof and winter proof ??
Used from Prob October through to March. Used Lidl's own now for years but the latest pair ain't as Waterproof as the ones from 7 years ago !
Thanks

Good touring shoes. Bit more than £50 though.

No, but a) he did post in this thread, and b) his last winter shoes were from Aldi. Draw your own conclusions.

Speaking for myself, I'm really happy with the Shimano shoes I mentioned upthread. I just winter-proof them with a decent pair of neoprene overshoes.

Shimano to my understanding also offers all their shoes in wide. Im Running with SHM-163 and I am perfectly happy with these.
Normal shoe size for me 43 1/2 and use 44 for Shimano shoes. I have relatively wide feet but the normal shoe fits me well.

Yeah that's only because they are pretty good value for money.

Don't mind spending a bit more if they last 5 years !

Specialized tahoes. I have very wide and short feet, and I've found them very comfortable without having to go up more than one (European) size from my normal. It might be because they're lace-up and made of something soft, so it's easier to adjust them width-ways than some other shoes I've tried.

They're not solid enough for very long-distance rides, but I've toured comfortably with them, so they'll be fine for a commute.

I have had some Shimano RT82 shoes for seven months or so and they're excellent. The Velcro straps allow for one or two pairs of socks to be worn. I do use overshoes to keep them warm, clean and dry though.

I am on my second pair of Tahoes and they are very comfy. The down side is that they are mainly mesh on top and so a bit wet and windy in the winter: sealskinz or overshoes are heartily recommended.

I'm about to replace mine after 2 years commuting duties. The sole is starting to come away. Can't decide if I should choose something different.

Another vote for specialized tahoe

That's not great...my soles are still OK thankfully but am I wrong to expect longer than 2 years ?!
