Re: [RBW] Winter Shoe Recommendations?
I've gone to thick wool socks inside sealskins inside loose fitting sandals. If it's windy out, wind covers over it all. If it's not super cold, thin liner socks inside the thick wool socks in the sandals works okay. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] Winter Shoe Recommendations?
I'm interested in lightweight boots that are not too bulky (the holy grail?). I've had good luck with North Face Baltoros ( http://www.rei.com/product/818560/the-north-face-baltoro-400-iii-winter-boots-mens) - they are really warm and have been the most comfortable walking boot I've had. I wore them daily on my bus/walk commute in MN down to -20, so they're plenty warm. Now that I'm in Seattle, I was going to look into the Sidi winter boots, but I'm off clipless shoes, and on platforms so a warmer shoe would be fine as it rarely breaches 20. Perhaps a market will open up for insulated waterproof sneakers?

Re: [RBW] Winter Shoe Recommendations?
Merrell makes an insulated Moc: http://www.rei.com/product/836526/merrell-shiver-moc-2-waterproof-shoes-mens When I spent more time in snow country, I had a pair that I used for around town. Comfortable, warm, and not nearly as bulky as my Sorrels.

Re: [RBW] Winter Shoe Recommendations?
South of you in Portland (via Montana), I finally got rid of my insulated boots after a couple of years. I'm finding that a waterprood lightweight hiking shoe/boot with wool socks is plenty for me, and I'm cold-natured. Still haven't figured out how to keep my wands warm and dry beyond about 5 miles, though. It was easier in the dry cold.

Re: [RBW] Winter Shoe Recommendations?
Shaun I am use red Wing insulated work boots down to zero and they work well for me. I have wide feet and the fact they come in wide widths helps.

Re: [RBW] Winter Shoe Recommendations?
I've used Sorels for snow biking and they work really well. Big and clunky, of course, but at those temperatures there are tradeoffs. jim m sunny wc ca On Sun, Sep 30, 2012 at 4:59 PM, Shaun Meehan meehan.sh...@gmail.comwrote: Hi All, I'm looking for some recommendations for winter riding shoes or boots.

Hey Shaun, Try a pair of Bean boots: http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/43351?feat=506796-GN3page=men-s-l-l-bean-boots-10-shearling-linedattrValue_0=Brown/BrownproductId=732953 or http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/33172?feat=506796-GN3page=men-s-maine-hunting-shoes-10-gore-tex-thinsulateattrValue_0=Brown/BrownproductId=452938 They're much trimmer than a Sorel or similar boot and they get many folks through the winter in Maine.
