Try the Sealskinz Thermal inside a goretex shoe - dry and not too sweaty? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=392#post-3031 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 17:40:04 +0000 Numptie 3031@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Have tried plastic bags but they tend to make my feet sweat which quickly cools and makes my feet even colder.<br /> -6 degrees out my way this morning, still, at least its dry and not a breath of wind. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=392#post-3026 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 13:09:42 +0000 wee folding bike 3026@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Plastic bags are not ideal but they do work. Another useful thing is a folded news paper inside your shirt. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=392#post-3020 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:58:00 +0000 gembo 3020@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I used to wear four pairs of socks b ut now go for thermal sealskinz - they are warm. Previous posters have seriously suggested plastic bags. I quite like them rolled up like a mujahaddin hat on the head of a weegee avoiding rain but as overshoes I am not so sure. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=392#post-3013 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:34:22 +0000 wee folding bike 3013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have used neoprene bootees in the past. They last OK. I never had any with straps, I've had them with Velcro up the back. The bit under your shoes will suffer a bit if you walk around in them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=392#post-3012 Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:16:18 +0000 Numptie 3012@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>On my early morning commute into Edinburgh (leave the house just before 06:00) I find that I warm up quite quickly, but after about half an hour the toes start to get cold. I have looked for overshoes to go over trainers but have been put off by user comments saying that the straps and stitching tend to go after a few wears. Anyone have any experience of this type of overshoe? I presume when it comes to sizing it is best to go for a size up from your normal shoe size.</p> <p>Cheers </p>
