cold weather shoes

Question:

jNeoprene booties are great for short riders. However on longer rides your feet will sweat, then get cold. Get something that breathes. My winter shoes are waterproof and breathable. Sidi also makes a good winter shoe. A combination of "goretex" socks and liners in slightly over sized shoes will also work.

   My two cents … cold weather riding is a whole lot easier than damp,    ceaseless rainy cold weather riding; I actually miss those cold NY    winters over here; at least you were dry and the sun shone.    Over here, it’s Gore-tex head to toe; I’ve found Gore-tex gaiters under    the gore-tex trousers then over a shoe covered in a waterproof shell    does wonders. Plus as much cold-weather stuff as I ever wore in NY. It’s the combination of wet, cold and wind (self-generated can suffice) that does it. I remember one February morning ride when my waterbottle froze – gorgeous day, sunny and still, so no problem. Much worse was a 10 degree warmer day with a fast descent into Edinburgh in driving sleet. My pet must-haves for wet and cold days are neoprene overshoes, wool-mix longs, a waterproof jacket (i.e. goretex or somesuch, not pertex or anything that’s just showerproof), and when it’s really bad a balaclava and neoprene gloves. Staying dry is unrealistic, but that way I stay warm. —                 http://www.dcs.ed.ac.uk/home/alanpx/

Last winter I invested in a pair of the Hotronics electric ski boot heaters. I bought the model without the integral footbeds, so that I could continue to use my custom Diadora Powerbeds. Used with Polypropylene and wool blend socks, along with neoprene booties, this combination allowed me to road ride in weather I used to only mountain bike in.

Try Sidi Winter SPD boots. They are pretty waterproof,  but the ultimate combo is to use them with Goretex socks over proper sock liners, and if the weather gets below minus 10 degrees, with neoprene overshoes as well!!! The Sidi boots are on the narrow side, so get a good big pair so you can wiggle your toes no matter how many layers of socks you have on. Steve

Hello I have a pair of Sidi Tecno shoes. I think. They don’t have  a name on and I don’t have the box. They are made out of some synthetic stuff which breathes like leather, they have no mesh areas so they are "waterproof". They have tread for off raod and you can walk in them. Yup for spd. My feet keep warm. They are slightly over your limit at about
