I was reading about this the other day for people who live in North America / Canada.Someone made the good point that cycling shoes tend to be quite tight and by forcing thick sock or two pairs of sock inside you can reduce the circulation to your feet and hence make you feet cold because of that. they suggested doubling up on socks but trying a looser shoe or one that is one size too big bla bla you get the idea. This morning I re-laced my shoes fully so they where not as tight, not only did this make getting my foot in easier it did also seem to keep my feet warmer, but it was warmer out side today.[/quote]
Funny you should mention that.
A fella here said the same thing, and I am going to run a little experiment with some cheap shoes off the 'bay that I picked up (half a size too big).
I was going to try them tomorrow with two pairs of socks to see the difference.
I hope it ain't as slippery as this morning, because I like my shoes quite snug and think I may be a little nervy if they feel too loose.
