  • What shoes do you have?

    Proper winter boots make more difference than funky socks.

    I use PX merino ones when it's not too cold and Woolie Boolies when it's colder. I normally just let my feet go numb though because I'm sick and midfoot didn't let me use overshoes. Now I have midfoot boots. Yay. Also had good experience with waterproof socks in Scotland but it was wetter than colder.

  • Just some fivetens which is next to going barefoot in terms of keeping the cold out, I know.

    Set for snow next weekend so looks like it will be a long cold winter of bullshit so maybe proper winter boots is the way to go.

  • I wore Fiveten Freeriders in Scotland but like I said it wasn't crazy cold, maybe 2C on a couple of mornings. I've got another pair in storage that are some kind of winter version that replace the mesh with a solid panel on the front that would help

    "Five Ten Freerider Elements" are the 'warmer' ones I mentioned:

    "The Five Ten Freerider Elements is a water-resistant version of the standard Freerider. No mesh panels and it’s treated with a DWR coating to repel water.

    Water can still get into the top of the shoe, but it offers a bit more protection when riding through puddles and on wet trails."
