I love to ride in the winter, but I hate getting cold hands and feet. This year I'm determined to throw some resources at the problem.

I'm considering getting a pair of Sidi Hydro GTX insulated road shoes as the centerpiece of my gear-up effort.

I take a size 43 shoe. Should I get the Sidis a size bigger to accommodate an extra pair of socks, or stick to my size?

Any other suggestions or observations on these shoes?

Also, a la pcad, I'm planning to get a nice pair of booties and perhaps even stuff a few footwarmers into the sandwich on very cold days.

For gloves, I'm thinking about a pair of Seal Skinz Thermal Performance with Sealskinz thermal liners--again--with handwarmers if necessary.

Sound adequate for Central New York State conditions?
