Oh boy... Jerk cut me off and splashed me soaked. And he was speeding too. Arghhh...

winter boots and much happier for it. although my feet were a bit damp today but i think that was water getting in the tops.
hmm... i've resorted to winter boots the last couple years, but i've found that i don't like a hiking boot style because the back of my ankle and bottom of my rain pants don't overlap enough... leaving a nice "trough" for the water to run right down. now i wear kodiaks (similar to sorels, but a fabric upper) and i love how light, flexible, and grippy on pedals they are. and also awesome for walking though deep snow in general. there is still about an inch of fabric that isn't waterproof. days like yesterday i might get a bit wet, but the insulation inside the boots absorbs a lot of it, and at least provides some insulation. i still have my lakes (+ booties), but the neoprene is now starting to disintegrate. also, in regards to the spd cleats, i find that once the snow flies if i have to put my foot down a lot/walk at all ice covers the metal really quickly, making it difficult - if not impossible - to clip back in. in squirrely conditions, i like to be able to put either foot down as quickly as i need to. my $.02!
