Ok guys i went out this morning with 2 pairs of socks on, and overshoes on and my feet froze, so any suggestions for really really warm socks to wear? or what do you guys do to keep your feet warm?

    I wore my new woolie boolies for the first time this morning (with overshoes), and was v impressed. Nice warm toes, and still dry as a bone by the time I got home from a freezing club run (unlike my seal skinz which trap the sweat).

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Endura Thermolite thick socks with their thinner normal cycling socks underneath. Endura MT500 overshoes = warm feet.

    Think how stupid the average person is.......
    half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.

    Just save money and use a couple of carrier bags on your feet
