How cold does it get in Reno?
It's not super cold here, but it does get down to the low 20s overnight. As luck would have it, my work schedule usually puts me out on the road when the temps are at or near their coldest. I know a lot of you deal with worse, but I've never handled cold weather very well. Comfortable for me usually seems like overdressed to most.
I was looking at Shimano shoes. My road shoes are Shimanos, so I was hoping the sizing would be consistent if I need to order online. Anybody else have experience with them?
If you're using winter hiking boots, which ones are you using? The boots I've been using for the last few years are way too heavy to be comfortable for the longer commute.
