• mine start to stink pretty bad if i don't get them dried out.

    True, you need to kind of wring them out, dry them a bit, turn them inside out, let them dry out, and then turn them... outside in? and let them dry out completely. At least that was what worked for me.

    One other problem I encountered was that they weren't very durable, but that was likely due to walking on the hard in front of the boathouse in just my socks, so it shouldn't be that much of an issue with cycling.

  • i meant my shoes stinking rather than socks or overshoes.
    i can change my socks, but i've only got one pair of cycling shoes.

    don't really see much point in waterproof socks if the water's getting into my shoes anyway.

  • Oh I see, I was thinking of the waterproof socks. True.

    If it's a bit colder than it is now, it makes a massive difference to how warm your feet feel. Cold and wet feet is an easy way to get close to hypothermia.

  • Shoes not going ultra rank: some shoes (some Giro, the new rapha ones) don't have absorbent padded lining, much more like a proper leather shoe.

    Found they dry really well and aren't dreadful on the nose because they aren't like sponges...
