Winter Tyres - Vittoria vs Continental

Hi,

I've been using Conti GP4000s for most of this year for my daily commute of 11miles each way. Recently I've been hit with a spate of punctures and I'm thinking I need to get some more hard wearing tyres on as the rain and slush pushes all the grit/stones/twigs/glass/debris out into my riding path.

After doing some research the Vittoria Open Pave Evo CG seems to be a good choice (http://www.wiggle.co.uk/vittoria-open-pave-evo-cg-clincher-tyre/) and the reviews in general seem pretty good even with their hefty price tag. Does anyone have any experience with using them?

Ten products to get you through the winter 2

We know the winter can be tough on your motivation. It can be cold, dark and wet - it all just makes the sofa far too inviting. In fact, anything can seem like a better idea than going out on the bike. It’s surprisingly easy to talk yourself out of going for a ride, isn’t it?

That’s why we’ve rounded up 10 products that we reckon will help you get stuck in, when you’d tempted to get stuck into the mince pies instead.

winter road boots for women size 37.5 or 38

Hi, anybody out there know how I can get a hold of the Mavic Frost GoreTex Road Cycling boot in a size 37.5 or 38? There are a couple of websites that have 'em listed but they are not available until December and I want them ASAP!

I would especially like it if someone who lives in France or Germany and frequents the road.cc website, might be able to direct me to a continental online retailer who stocks the shoes and ships to UK.
