What more can i do.

All are great ideas lol, but anything that i can buy that doesnt invole the wife realising lol.

OK - a cheap/free idea: put your feet, with socks on, inside a plastic bag, before putting them into the shoes.

a) it'll keep them warmer and b) it'll keep them dry.

I do the same with my hands; I've got latex gloves that'll go as a base glove, before the other glove(s) go on top, if it's very cold.

I use cheese

edam well does you know

cling film/sarnie bags over your socks before you put your shoes one, acts as a barrier and certainly keeps the heat in.Wiggo apparently uses cling film, i carry a couple of unused sarnie bags , it can make your feet a bit sweaty but if your feeling the cold it might be the extra layer you need.

Line your shoes with newspaper. When you are on a ride and start to feel the chill then set fire to the newspaper. Toasty.

Ok, on the way to work yesterday i wrapped my feet in carrier bags and they held up a little better, but not enough so i bought some Endura Thermolite socks and they were a lot better, so all the reviews and hype ive seen regarding Deffet socks are rubbish.

Winter boots. Nothing else comes near. I bought a pair of Northwave Goretex boots and my feet are toasty warm for hours. Also in the Wiggle sale at the moment at a bargain price.

It's a pity they don't take mini-SPD's. I'd use them for commuting

They do an MTB version:-

It's also worth noting that there are two versions. The warmer one is the "Celsius Artic".
Sadly, the sizing doesn't suit my feet; the boots are very narrow. Despite that, I'm off into town in a few minutes to try them again.

I'm glad that it looks like you've found a solution to your problems.
Since everything else seems to have failed (even the plastic bag idea, which actually makes my feet overheat!) I was beginning to wonder if this could be a problem with your blood circulation.
Might be worth keeping this in mind and getting it checked out if the new socks don't solve things.

I'd try and get to a stockist and try them first Matt, I didn't think they were narrow at all compared to my other cycling shoes

Yes, worth trying them on.
My trip into town to have another look at them has left me in a bit of a quandary; they weren't quite as narrow as I'd remembered.
I'm going to think it over but, on balance, I'm probaby going to go for it.

Tested here:-

I ordered a pair of size 43s in the end.
I'll let you know what I think when they arrive.

[PaulSecteur]

Im pleased with the fit of my Northwaves, Big enough for winter socks but can be tightend up to for normal socks. Not particulary narrow IMHO
