They are really not that expensive -- Performance currently has some on sale for $19.99. I use neoprene booties with thicker hiking socks and my road shoes down to the mid 20s. Mine are old style Performance brand that I found at a gear swap for $2. Considering how much bike shoes cost and how convenient a bootie is compared to plastic bags that'll rip and have to be replaced (albeit practically for free), I feel they are a reasonable investment. Feet are just as important as hands, and most people wouldn't think too hard about investing $20-30 for a good pair of gloves. Treat your feet right!
