If I was asked: “What’s the worst thing about winter riding?” Getting cold feet would certainly be up there! As soon as your toes succumb to the cold it’s very hard to warm them back up while riding - no matter how hard you start pushing on the pedals. The discomfort even extends to once you're home and have jumped in the shower - that painful feeling of warming them up too quickly!
Mucky shoes are another pet hate of mine - but part and parcel of winter riding. The nice thing about overshoes is that they collect all the winter grit and then you can just chuck them into the washing machine. So easy! And it’s also one of the reasons why I’m inclined to get a bit more use out of them, even in milder conditions when warmth isn't an issue.
