Commuting through Winter - Clipless or not?

[Dibs]

As the dark evening commutes are almost upon us and with it the bad weather, I'm considering going back to my old pedals/cage and more winter style boots.

What does everyone else do?

 

[potsy]

Carry on with clipless but wear spd winter boots and some thicker socks

 

[numbnuts]

Change spd sandals for shoes with waterproof socks

 

[AndyRM]

Neoprene overshoes, thicker socks, stay clipless.

 

[Drago]

Clipless, overshoes when cold enough to require it.

If its mild I might stick with 8" stilettos.

 

[DCLane]

Clipless, waterproof thermal boots and overshoes when required.

 

[fossyant]

Clipless with overshoes

 

[I like Skol]

I think the point has already been made but clipless is for life, not just for summer

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Flats for me, but then again I use flats all year.

Has anyone tried these? They look like a nice variation on overshoes, and might be better at preventing water seeping in through the top?

Shimano winter boots . And a pair of socks if really cold.






No shorts or top just the boots

Clipless winter boots .

Same setup all year round for me, save for overshoes when its really cold and wet. I actually don`t like cycling in anything other than clipped in, feels all wrong.

Same shoes, an extra pair of socks and a head-band to cover the tips of my ears

Having spent two days last week driving around during the day in my van, socks and shoes under the foot blower to dry them out, I shall be getting overshoes asap

It will be nice to keep them a little warmer on the really cold days as I struggle a little with cold hands and feet during the winter - there's not a lot of meat on those areas for me! I spent the summer scoffing at the thought that my cycling shoes were ventilated.. that lasted until the first morning I went out at 2 degrees Celsius. I found out just how well ventilated they really were that morning!
