We had another one of those weather warning advisory days, for heavy rainfall.

Well an hour commute in it this morning and my feet were just soaked.

I wear smartwool sock, gortex sock (sealskinz), stuck into a shimano sandal, all covered with a sugoi bootie (those fleece backed thin ones). And my mec wirlwind tights were over the booties.

My feet were soaked when i got to work. My sealskinz socks were drenched inside. Ive had good success with the combo up till now during other days this wet. So either i ruined the gortex socks at some point, or my new smartwool socks are too tall and wicked water down inside. They do come up to the top of the sealskinz.

My tights are not waterproof so in downpours like today they do get wet inside, but still warm. I gotta find some way to stop the water from running down inside my socks, or find waterproof legs.

Anyone else find a foolproof way to keep toes dry without resorting to the plastic bag treatment ?
