after warm socks ???

[yello]

If you want to have warm feet, then buy some proper winter boots.

That's true, can't argue with that. I have considered, on several occasions in the past, buying winter boots but considered it expensive given the number of times I'd wear them... but what price warm feet eh!

Not that cheap, but then 3 years of maybe 30-50 cold rides a year of warm feet so far is well worth it to me.

Never worn winter boots but put off a bit as a critisism is that water that gets in can't get out again. I use socks & overshoes - the only fag is that overshoes are a bit of a pain to get on and when I have to walk (up every steep gradients only, of course!) the toe end lifts up off the shoe. Anyway here's some new socks with 75% merino.

Doesn't really matter - it's not about staying dry, because you can't. It's about staying warm.

That said, I don't seem to get water in my shoes on my bike, although that's unlikely to help anyone else not riding a recumbent.
