I've been trying a couple of thermal socks to try and curb the heat transfer hard sole shoes and pedals/crank create. Booties help but in weather like we're having it's difficult nonetheless. The most recent Nashbar catalog has a closeout section and in it contained a thermal sock looking like a neoprene type thing. I called and indeed it is neoprene. They still have them in stock and at $15 not a bad deal. Ben J. swears by his that he picked up at an REI closeout. So short of spending big $$ on electric insole warmers that REI carries as well. These neoprene socks are fairly thin and can be worn inside the shoe, undoubtedly cutting the heat lost through shoe sole and pedal/crank heat transfer. Love that Snow !!
