My feet get wayyyy too cold with my current boots, does anyone have any recommendations for some really warm cycling boots?
TIA John.
P.S. Thanks to all those who recommended Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres a couple of weeks ago. I ordered a pair of the ATB version and look forward to having fewer punctures............... if only Bonthrone bikes would deliver them!

I'm mostly wearing Sealskinz merino socks with (now superceded) Shimano W100 boots, good for sub-zero in snow. In fact bootiful! -- Pete http:[email hidden]/Stuff

Despite spending 90mins at -8c this morning, I'm still wearing short summer socks under the W100's, not trace of cold feet (I prefer the short socks cuz they don't let rain wick past the neoprene cuffs on the boots). Could it be that your feet get colder in a recumbant position??

Mine certainly do. I think heat is lost through the soles when lying down on the job, hence overshoes are only slightly useful. Experience suggests that I have a choice for winter audaxing:
o overshoes, cold feet and nasty itchy rash all over my ankles, or o no overshoes, VERY cold feet and no rash
