Any tips for keeping feet dry when it's raining, or am I asking the impossible?
I went out last night in Sealskinz, it rained and I ended up taking them off because they were filling with water. I have neoprene overshoes as well and they work to an extent, but feet get wet with them eventually. Call me a softy but I really don't like wet, squelchy feet, or gloves for that matter but I can ride without them.
I have thought of putting tape around the top and overlapping onto the leg, has anybody tried this?

    I use them over neoprene if it's cold and wet.

    Not really, most gear will only work for a limited time. However, you could go reversionary and utilise some of these

    I'd go for either gortex socks if you're feeling flush, or plastic bags from the Tesco fruit and veg counter if you're on a budget. Just take the entire roll of bags out of the holder, pop in your trolley and get dry feet for free.

    Wear them both - it works for me.
