northwave CELSIUS R ARCTIC GTX winter road shoes

The CELSIUS R ARCTIC GTX from the Core collection by northwave are ideal winter road shoes for those who continue their training even under extreme weather conditions. Thanks to the waterproof and windproof CIRRUS XT 4L BY GORE-TEX membrane, your feet remain warm and insulated even in the coldest conditions. The MORPH sole provides excellent power transfer thanks to its Powershape design, which ideally supports the arch of your foot. The particularly smooth upper shoe stands for reduced wind resistance and is skilfully combined with the neoprene cuff in the entry area of the road shoe. The ergonomic heel shape with its anatomical fit in combination with the ARCTIC 4LAYER insole also provides excellent insulation.
