I tried these, but I found that the middle of my foot hoot over the pedals, and I couldn't get the cleat set back as far as I would like. These were my first set of clipless "shoes", so I don't really know how they compare to other shoes. Based on reviews, I suspect my results may be expected of clipless shoes. They seemed well made. The cleats weren't fully recessed so I still had to be careful walking in the house.

I ended up taking off my clipless pedals and going back to heel slings (I ride a recumbent trike) for my end of summer long ride, since I never got an opportunity to ride more than 20 miles in these. I just didn't have the time. I am planning to put them back on in the spring and give them another chance. I may try a platform / clipless mountain style pedal that I think might give my foot some more support other than just around the cleat.

As far as cold / wet weather I had some neoprene socks and wool socks I was planning to wear, but I never tested this combination.
