A few questions for my BF friends ...
I use an SPD setup during the summer but I switch to flat pedals and really clunky (like Sorels) boots in the cold weather. The boots are okay. They're really warm but, well, I prefer to remain clipless year-round if I can find something warm enough.
I used to have neoprene booties but they only helped a little with warmth and getting them on an off was a pain. I think the problem was cold coming up through the sole of the shoe. I suppose I could try booties again with some type of Thinsulate insert but I'm concerned I'd just be wasting my money.
Other BF threads have talked about LL Bean's Snow Sneakers. The low ones would be way less clunky than my boots. They're rated from 40 degrees F down to around 5. Of course, doing this still means flat pedals.
Any opinions on whether to give the booties another try or go for the Snow Sneakers? Of course, another possibility would be to go for larger SPD shoes so that I could wear more sock layers.
Thoughts?
