After having cold feet last winter and this the first part of this winter I'm not noticing the cold feet anymore.

What did I change? Nothing.
What did I do? Kept riding in cold weather and let my body acclimate to the rigors of riding in cold weather, including having the cold feet.

Yeah, it sounds crazy. Back in December and early January using the same clothing I'm using now I would get cold feet, real cold feet at time. After one hour my feet would cold. I won't say painfully so unless it was really cold out. I would notice the cold feet though.

In the past couple of weeks things have started to change. I have ridden as many as 117 miles in one day, starting out in sub zero F temps in the morning and haven't had 'cold' feet. Yeah, the feet have been cold but nothing like they used to be after only being out for only an hour in much warmer weather. Now I can be out all day with temps much colder than what I used to be riding in and I still don't get cold feet the way I used to.

The secret is to RIDE. Ride in cold weather and let your body adapt to riding in cold weather. I'm amazed at the difference that I have noticed this winter. It's a total reversal from last winter or even from earlier this winter to right now. I used to try to focus my rides around places where I could get inside to warm up if I needed to. Now I don't even worry about that anymore. I haven't been having any trouble staying warm, including my feet. The equipment hasn't changed...the body has.

The only thing that has changed has been the amount of exposure to cold weather riding that I have did. It has increased dramatically. I rode 1606 miles in December and 1566 miles this month. My body has acclimated to the cold so I don't notice the cold the way I use to. I rode 50 miles on a day when the temps never made it above 10 degrees F. It started out around -5F. The very next day started out at -3 and climbed into the lower 20s and I rode 117 miles. I've put myself out in the cold environment and my body has adjusted to it.

I will fess I do notice the feet get chilled quite nicely if the socks get wet from road moisture otherwise I really don't have any problems keeping my feet warm anymore.

It's not the equipment you need it's the adapted body you need. You only get the adapted body by riding in the environment your trying to adapt to. I've heard of freedivers diving in regular swimsuits under ice...yeah, basically butt-naked freediving. How do they do it. They don't just jump in, they acclimate themselves by diving below thermocline during the summer months and let their bodies adapt to the cold water. When winter comes around their bodies are ready for diving in icy conditions.

It's the same mentality for bikers that bike during the winter months. I'm a believer in it now. It's not about the equipment/clothing you wear...it's about how adapted your body is to the conditions you are riding in. The more time your body has had to adapt the better your body will be able to handle the conditions.
