Cold rain and feet

[Melalvai]

This is one I haven't really solved yet. I take dry socks--and an entire change of dry clothes--with me. I keep an extra pair of shoes at work. Wool helps but once my shoes get soaked it doesn't matter. And I try not to bike in cold rain, if I can help it. Usually I am able to adjust my schedule to accommodate the rain. I can go in a bit earlier before the rain starts, or wait until the downpour lets up and the rain is lighter. Around here that is typically less than an hour, sometimes only a few minutes.

I have goretex socks for really dismal weather. They are good against the wind as well. You start with a thin layer of wool socks, then the goretex ones, then shoes or even sandals.

But they fit so snug that they are really difficult to tug off.

Thanks for info.

Check your fenders. A good long full-coverage fender will keep most of the water well away from your feet.

When it's really cold and nasty (not often here in sunny Austin, TX) I wear hiking boots.
