I hate wet feet!
When it rains at home I wear wellies, but have never taken them on tour. Sealskinz socks help somewhat but eventually get soaked. They keep the heat - wet and warm is better than wet and cold.
Whilst riding, it doesn't matter , but getting into camp, squishing around in wet mud, trying to dry my shoes out with newspaper overnight etc, then putting on cold wet socks and shoes in the morning is one of the less enjoyable parts of touring I find.

Anyhow, I think I'll take my wellies with me to ride in in downpours or to change into in camp at least. Oh I'm still toe-clipped, guess there aren't so many wellies with cleats!

Anyone else have wellies with them?
