Me, too. Plus, getting full shoe covers on is such a PITA, and I've never found that they keep my feet all that much warmer than the toe covers.
I love my Shebeest Pedal Pusher knickers in this kind of weather. The fabric is kind of cozy, and because I have pretty short legs, they hit me on my lower calf. So, most of my leg is nice and warm.
Catrin, I wonder if you could get by without knee warmers and just use your leg warmers instead once it gets cold enough to cover your knees. I find that I don't mind it if my legs are "overdressed." It's my upper body that I need to careful not to over (or under) dress.
As for wool socks, I find that thicker isn't always warmer either. They just end up making my shoes too tight.
Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
