for that transitional weather (and poor people - if you own two pair sidi's you are not poor and should therefore be able to buy any product you need to have warm feet....) try gaffer tape on the vents of your shoes. its working a treat for me. next step is covering the mesh vents with shoo goo (or a seam sealer type product, nice and thick so its waterproof and windproof where the vents used to be). last winter i found that the problem was the cold air/water getting in the vents and chilling my feet. this last week ive been using the gaffer tape method to success.
now i just wish i could find some warm waterproof gloves that arent too thick, fit my fingers porperly and dont have massive gel pads on the palm for no reason and dont give me aching hands after about 40 seconds of leaving the shop.
