IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedOn 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.
Cheers
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.
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.
Plastic bags are not ideal but they do work. Another useful thing is a folded news paper inside your shirt.
Have tried plastic bags but they tend to make my feet sweat which quickly cools and makes my feet even colder.
-6 degrees out my way this morning, still, at least its dry and not a breath of wind.
snowed in balerno last night. v cold. Try the Sealskinz Thermal inside a goretex shoe - dry and not too sweaty?
