keeping feet warm?
I've got this problem sorted on my DF but still can't get it right on the
'bent. All the overshoes that I have seen, including the ones I use on the DF are open under the sole so therefore do not do much good on the ,bent!! Any recommendations? SW |

I read the subject and opened it up, all ready to say "get a 'bent, the soles of your shoes are more windproof than the uppers!", but I see that won't be much help... Even with the cleat recess to thin things off a bit I've never really had the problems on the 'bent that I used to get on the wedgie. Maybe go down the avenue of warmer leggings so the blood hasn't lost so much warming effect by the time it gets down to your feet? Or a fairing is another possibility, and that'll keep the rain off too.

Seems to be that the blood circulation in the old feet isn't as good when
I'm on the 'bent so they get colder quicker. Got myself a Streamer but I find it physiologically restricting!! So I only use it in the worst weather and I have just removed it last night!! The 'bent is already heavy (ICE Classic NT) so with the fairing it "feels" really heavy. The 'bent feels so much better without the fairing that I was hoping to find another solution. SW |

LOL, I remember people commenting on my SPD sandals on the Dun Run "Your feet must be freezing in those". No, they were nicely shielded from the wind by the soles. I was fairly toasty most of the way there, unlike at the end when I felt the need to employ a bubblewrap emergency blanket. |

I find that makes all the difference to cold hands and feet, plus I tend to dress more warmly than most people since I don't like being cold and I haven't got much natural insulation. |

SW I haven't tried this, but a contributor to our local cycle mag recommends Walkers Crisps. Buy 2 bags, throw the crisps away, wear the bags inside your shoes. -- Martin Bulmer |

Genius, but there's something very wrong with that advice. |
