So, the nokian order should be ariving any day now, theres snow on the ground, temps are in the teens, and I'm thinkin' some toasty warm MTB shoes are going to be needed this winter. I've narrowed my search down to the Sidid Storms or the Gaerne Polar. I currently have a pair of Sidi's for summer and love the way they fit my foot but I can get the Gaerne's for 50% off, so does anybody have anything to say about Garene's shoes? anybody have firsthand expirience with the Polars?
Thanks

Love all my Sidi's... the Dominator's, the Storms, even my big stormtrooper style motorcycle boots... those WOP's sure know how to make some fine shoes, cheese and wine.

I've never had winter specific shoes. I've found that buying a really cheap pair of shoes usually does the trick, since one of the things they skimp on is ventilation in cheap shoes. If the winter wrecks them after a few years, you don't even have to care.
When it gets really cold (down in the -15C and lower range) windproof booties are a must, though. With the winter shoes, you probably don't have to worry about extras like that.
