Winter? In this country? Avoid anything with mesh uppers....actually, add British summer to that comment too!

I use Shimano AM41's. No mesh, wipe clean (all over), nice and grippy and the laces are still reasonably white after 5 months wear. They also have a raised inner upper to protect the ankle bone.

Just replace the insole for something a little more moulded and comfortoable as the shoe sole is fairly rigid.

They are good for walking up slopes also.

I also have Shimano AM41 over a year good in wet.

I use FiveTen Line Kings. I like the padding of the bulky skate style shoes like the freerider, but the extra ankle support in the line kings is pretty nice if your planning on any big lines. And you cant beat FiveTen stealth rubber, so much traction! I had vans before my Five Tens and the improvement is incredible.

+1 for Shimano shoes. Really good for keeping dry feet.

mesh can be a sod for soaking up the wet stuff.
