In the end, the shoes are wrong. I believe StanSeven is correct, and that my feet are cold because of poor blood flow. I never have a problem with cold feet, on or off a bike.
I will be driving to San Jose this weekend, so I will be stopping by that store.
Monterey is lacking in places to purchase bicycle accessories. My LBS only carries Specialized products, including shoes. Want another brand? Sorry. The local Sports Authority does not even carry bikes! REI is the best local option for selection.
I wasn't criticizing your advice or the product itself, just their statement. It is completely the reverse from what I think should be the norm. Brand names add a distinct flair?
