This is my eighth year of winter commuting and I still haven't found a good solution to cold toes.
Supposed to get to a high of 23 degrees around noon, then the temp will continuously drop into the single digits overnight. And as luck would have it, today I have a lot of different places I need to be so by the time I get home tonight I'll have logged about 35 miles.
Feet never have really bothered me. My issue has always been the eyes...never been able to find a happy medium between tears streaming down my face and freezing and toasty but impaired peripheral vision/fogginess. New set of cheap motorcycle goggles just came in the mail, just in time for coldest day of the year here.
