What do you wear when it starts getting cold?

The one part of me that gets (and stays) cold when riding in lower
temperatures is my feet. What do you all wear as far as shoes go when
riding in cold weather?

I wear skate shoes, which are terrible being as they are heavily
vented. They just let the wind pass right through them and within 15
minutes of riding, i'm slightly uncomfortable.

I have some boots, but who enjoys riding in boots? They are too big and
clunky for me to ride comfortably and I have absolutely no feel for
where the pedals are since the soles are much thicker.


Try some neoprene socks....http://tinyurl.com/6qjc7p

Living in the south, 'cold' for me is 30s and low 40s, in which case
I'll probably wear a long sleeve shirt, hoodie, and jeans, along with my
normal riding gloves. If I'm riding really hard I'll usually lose the
hoodie and roll up my sleeves.

I was using some interchangeable bicycle sunglasses and using the clear
lenses to keep the cold air out of my eyes, but they only help a little
bit. I think I am going to invest in some ski goggles for commuting
when the wind chill makes it go down to 6F like on Monday! Any
recommendations on goggles?

Also, my fingers and toes are always problem areas for me. I can wear
heavily insulated gloves and after about an hour of riding my hands are
quite warm, but my toes never stay warm and go numb fast. Once it gets
down to be below about...40F and the sun isnt out, I usually get very
chilly toes and they go almost numb after an hour. I solve this by
using those chemical hand warmers and stuffing one down towards the toe
end of my gortex trail shoes. I use wool socks, but they don't really
help all that much. I wonder if I should get battery powered socks, or
if there is a better solution?

Chemical hand warmers are about 1.50 for 2, and it isn't that expensive
to use when riding, but I'd rather have a better way of allowing me to
ride for a long time on the weekend.

I have a problem with the cold making my legs more sensitive and my
jeans feel like they are shredding my legs. Do y'all have any
suggestions?

Hahahaha, that's, like, our January average high temperature.

Needless to say, it doesn't really bother us.

I'll excuse you because you live in Denver, though. It's really cold
compared to what you're used to.

Insulated pants. Mine are jeans lined with flannel.

I usually wear one of my trust sweaters, but if it gets really cold I
put a jacket over my sweater.

I'll ride in any degree of cold here. Just wear a coat, and an extra
pair of socks

It was -2oC the other day, and i had a t-shirt, jumper and a thin
jacket, jeans and shinpads. Oh and gloves and a hat. My gloves got stuck
to a lamp post too
Lovely weather.

At two degrees below freezing? I don't believe you. Or do you mean
-20?

My fingers got frozen to the doorknob this morning, though. Peeled a
bit of skin off. Hint-don't get your hands wet.
