    Hi, just getting into cycling and looking for a pair of rain/splash proof overshoes that will also stop my toes from falling off with the cold - any suggestions, or even better, anyone throwing a pair out?? :)
    Thanks, T

    Use two pairs of wool socks with bbb heavy duty overshoes. Have been out for up to 5 hrs this winter in cold wet conditions.
    No issues with cold feet.
    Have nothing to sell though:-)

    Going out this evening and it just started snowing - oh yippee! Will try the two pairs of socks anyway and see how I go. If you don't hear form me, its because I've frozen my feet to the pedals and can't get off the bike! :eek:

    Any neoprene pair should do the job.

    The Planet X Velcro ones are great. No zip so really quick to put on (zips can be v tough esp w cold fingers). Cheap too.

    I used to do wool sock stretched over shoe/ plastic bag/ second wool sock. All with holes cut for cleats. Dark times but it worked.
