Do you wear "touring" shoes that work fine wet or dry, do you wear shoe covers? Help save a warm weather old man and tell me your stories.
thanks
Riding in the rain isn't just about shoes, although for comfort I'd rate shoes pretty high. Are you ready for the driving rain of the Pacific Northwest? It gets into every orphus and makes you cold and perhaps hypothermic. You don't say when or how far north you are travelling, but it is my guess you may want to re-evaluate your entire rain management system
