I don't think it's a question of riding harder. I ride hard most of the time. The issue is that my toes get cold because of the air draft through the shoe. I agree that two pairs of socks is not a good solution, but I couldn't find any one that sells winter bike socks (I went to several stores including REI). Most suggested that I purchase booties which cover the whole foot above the ankle, but it's just my toes that get cold. I tried the toe covers which don't work well. So I think the best solution I've seen so far is the toe warmers or using a sandwich bag between the sock and shoe. I'll try the sandwich bag first and then spring for toe warmers if that doesn't work.

When I take clients mountaineering in cold weather I tell them to only wear one pair of socks. Smart Wool makes a pair of super warm mountaineering sock for $20 at REI. Of course the best way to keep your feet warm is to ride harder. Get your heart pumping and your blood flowing. -- You received this message because you foolishly subscribed to the Gyro email group.
