I've been looking for winter shoes as I have figured out that my summer ventilated shoes are the issue with my cold feet. Only problem is that I have already spend quite a bit on winter riding apparel that new winter shoes are now not in the budget. I don't have a lot of room in my current shoes to add layers of socks. I've tried chemical toe warmers in 29 degree weather and they didn't help at all. My toes and fingers were so cold they were hurting! Wonder if picking up a used pair of shoes in a larger size to duct tape the vents and layer on the socks would get me through the winter or at least until winter shoes start going on sale in late winter/early spring?

Speaking of winter shoes is there such thing as a winter road shoe? All I have really seen so far are winter riding boots for commuting in slush or mountain biking.

If I ever get to the point where I can ride in colder temps then I will seriously consider true winter shoes.
