Premium shoe with a dial that has design issues

- Thomas 20 December 2023

I own both the cross (XC) and road (R) version and both share the same problem : the X-Dial has a screw made of soft alloy and the head wears out. I had to replace the dial on each pair once and it's a nightmare to get that screw out. Last time I had to jigsaw the whole dial to remove the screw. The fact you have to replace the X-Dial due to either the rope jamming or because it simply fell off during a ride is a concern already a big enough concern. Cannot recommend. I've had a pair of Van Rysel shoes for longer and never had an issue. Mantel staff was prone to help, but the shoes are just not up to what they cost. Also, don't get fooled on the waterproofing : 9 times out of 10 the water comes from your trousers and falls of in your socks. Your shoes may be waterproof but if your trousers aren't, your doomed to ride with wet feet. Front mudguards that are low-hanging are IMHO what helps the most in maintaining feet dryer for a little longer. You'd be surprised how much water gets from the wheel into your shoes.

Pros & Cons

Comfortabel
Snel aan en uit
Schroeven zijn veel te zacht en ik
Slechts één hechting, oneven spanning
Waterdicht, maar water komt via fietsbroek

3 / 5

warm and waterproof shoe but a little too narrow at the forefoot

- Patrick 10 December 2023

The shoe is just a bit too narrow for me, which means I do get cold toes even after 1h at zero °C. It is better than with normal shoes + overshoes, but still. It would be great if NW could market a wider version.

Pros & Cons

easy closure + opening
nice and waterproof

Once attracted nice and warm feet, now a solution against rainwater seeping in from above

- Wim 21 November 2023

Once I have the shoes on, they keep my feet nice and warm, even after three or four hours of cycling. In heavy rain, rainwater does seep in at the top (even with trousers over the shoe), causing wet and therefore cold feet. No idea whether there is a shoe where this is not the case.

Pros & Cons

nice and warm
quite difficult to put on
wet feet when it rains (from above)

3 / 5

Solid but room for improvement.

- Patrick 17 November 2023

Swivel mechanism could be better.

Pros & Cons

Good fit
Warm
The mechanism to loosen the shoe would be bete
