    So here's a silly idea, FWIW: I have this foil blanket that is mostly white on one side and "heat reflective" on the other. I think it would be easy to fashion a two piece cover for a shoe (it's relatively flexible), taping the pieces to the bottom of the shoe. I can mail it to you if you PM me your address. I got in a race and kept it in my car trunk.

    I can't afford the warmers At least that's how I've justified my investment in winter boots
    Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...

    I didn't realize that you could put those toe warmer in a ziplock bag after you ride to save them for later. I did this for the first time today and it worked like a charm. One of my friends told me you could reuse them several times so I have it a try. Pretty cool

    Not after my recent flurry of unexpected big medical bills and helping my mom out...right now it is either groceries or shoe covers. Guess which wins? It won't be like this forever, but I do have to be as tight as possible for a few months.

    Cool - I will give it a shot, thanks!

    LOL Blueberry - though you probably ride far more often than I do in the winter. I don't ride to work, so really the weekends are the only time that I've the option to ride since it gets dark so early...and at some point I will be on the trainer for the season and with my neck recovering I can't ride as long as I would like anyway. Perhaps next year Santa will bring me some boots

    Catrin,
    Was only teasing and being snarky. Sorry you are going thru a rough patch. All best!
