Endurance test: Scott Heather shoes
The Scott Heather is a robust shoe with a great fit and super comfort for the colder days of the year.

Although the Heather is actually a shoe for the transitional period, it was also convincing in winter use. The toes stayed warm down to just below zero degrees. The outer material keeps splash water out and the neoprene finish keeps dirt out. Under the thick layer of mud, the shoe looks like new. The sole profile also shows hardly any signs of wear. The only drawback is the upper two Velcro fasteners. They get in each other's way a little and make it difficult to get on.

Stefan Frey is from Lower Bavaria and loves the mossy, loamy trails of the Bavarian Forest as much as the rugged rock of the Dolomites. For technical descents, he is prepared to tackle almost any ascent - under his own steam. As an accessories specialist, he is the first port of call for questions about equipment and add-on parts, while as head of copywriting he sweeps the language crumbs from the pages of the BIKE print editions.
