Not sure if this is the best forum for this question, but anyway...
I've been riding in winter for a long time and can never seem to keep my feet warm. My mom has bad circulation and I think I may follow her there. I can ride about 1.5-2 hrs in sub freezing temps before my feet start to hurt and I can barely move my toes. Winter temps are usually in the 20s and sometimes 30s here. I don't mind it too much, but I'd like to ride longer since the rest of my body is completely fine.
Last time I went out I wore my regular shoes (Nike Carnerso) and two pairs of wool socks (a lighter pair and a pair of heavy Smartwool Adrenalines) along with booties. Today I wore light ski socks, Sealskinz waterproof socks, booties and my DH clipless shoes (Adidas Plush). Wasn't much better.
I want to keep using clipless, so I'd rather not use boots and flats, even though that might solve the problem. I've been looking at winter shoes, heated insoles and a few other things, all of which have drawbacks and can be expensive. The less I spend the better, though I could probably justify one of those options.
Any ideas or experience here?
