Winter riding got me back on flats after five years of SPDs actually, but because of snow clogging up my pedals rather than cold feet. I've been having a blast on them.
The ones in the photo are the Powerline which I haven't reviewed. I believe AJ is reviewing them actually. They have a higher grip sole than the Livewire but I haven't noticed a big difference in that regard. I like the extra coverage on the medial collar and slightly burlier upper overall. Build quality and materials in each of the three RC shoes I've worn has been right at the top and the details, like the lace capture loop, are well thought out and executed. I would recommend them without hesitation.
