Need Ideas For Cold Feet

[Seajay]

As a long time member of the cold feet club, I have found some things that work well for me.

1. Unless you have special over sized winter shoes, Avoid thick socks they just pinch your toes and make feet colder.
2. Chemical FULL INSOLES from ski stores in place of regular insoles...HEAVEN
3. Heat up shoes at home or on the defroster vents before the ride. Keeps initial vasoconstriction to a minimum before the ride starts.
4. Shoe covers of course
5. On cold days take the toe of an old rag wool sock, cut it like a toe cover and put it on UNDER your shoe covers.
6. 30 quick jumping jacks or some other embarrassing parking lot aerobics before you get on the bike.
7. Shoes on and NO WALKING AROUND. Get straight on the bike. Walking with bike shoes on cold ground makes feet really cold.
