Pay a visit to decathlon for gloves. Merino socks and overshoes for feet? Or proper winter cycling boots

Layers top (merino base layers) and bottom. Eg altura winter cruiser tights over padded shorts

i personally use sealskinz gloves and they keep my hands sufficiently warm even on the coldest mornings, I have heard you can wear thin gloves under the sealskinz should you feel the need. Regards socks, a good wool / cotton blend will do but overshoes are a must for winter riding, not only do they keep the wet out they also keep out the cold.

Try a little bit of tin foil around the toes, inside the shoe.

I recommend Defeet woolie boolie socks. They're pretty thick so not so good if the shoes already tight.. Keep me toes warm even when wet and there's a women's version with added pink.

I have it on good authority that plastic bags for feet , under your shoes obvs, and latex gloves inside your normal gloves, provides the best protection from the cold and wet. Personally I'm a fan of sealskins gloves but I just wear thicker socks with my trainers.

Sealskin socks are great for warmth and wind resistance, But not as water proof as they claim!
