@philcampeau 3 года назад

Love the info you have passed along. After years of playing with footwear for winter and sock options. I finally settled on platform pedals and a pair of Baffin boots good to -50. Torture tested in the real world here in Manitoba on a 5 hour ride at -20 C. Feet were great. 1 thin sock and a thicker sock with the liner in between. Jay P was the inspiration for this system. You 2 are a godsend to the folks just starting. Thanks

Interesting to know, but the first frostbite i've had was with winter boots and flat pedals. I've been trying multiple stuff with the Shimano MW7, but i recon they do not have the level of insulation needed to withstand temperatures below 12ºC.

Some great ideas here. Another one I've used in the past is to wrap your feet with newspaper if using neoprene booty overshoes. Paper is a great insulator! I've ridden for a many hours with regular cycling shoes, 5 layers of newspaper wrapped around my shoes under my booties at -40C and been toasty!

@anotheryoutuber_ 3 года назад

really hit a lot of good content in this one. aluminum hvac tape on the bottom of the insole in any shoe and in the bottom of shoe if im using a shoes with cleats. layering as long as it doesn't compress the foot and sizing up def helps for that space to layer.

@lmullen06 3 года назад

Fairbanks fat bike commenter here, all this is spot on! I wear $60 Air Force surplus mukluks with composite flat pedals, they keep my feet safe (not the same as totally comfortable) down to at least -20F with a thin liner + medium wool sock. Below that I add a chemical foot warmer. I recently discovered that even more extra room than I thought was better. Thicker outer socks felt like I had plenty of wiggle room but swapping them for a slightly thinner one is actually warmer for me. When I was younger and dumber I commuted down to -48F without any foot issues but I had warmer Sorel boots and the hubris of youth then...

Be on the lookout for some socks with a temperature sensor.

Also, if you can share some tips and tricks, i can forward them to some of my diabetic friends. Search for Siren Socks, i never tried it, but could be helpful.

@tracywilkins9599 3 года назад

You're right on! I live in the midwest and very rarely get out in temps much below 20 degrees. My comfortable feet formula is 45NRTH Ragnarok boots (rated to about 25 degrees) sized up, a layer of tin foil in the bottom with a thin layer of closed cell packing insulation on top of that and merino wool socks. At the lower range of the temperature scale, I will throw on a pair of toe covers as a final layer of insulation. Most of my riding is on gravel, with virtually no hike-a-bike, so the toe covers don't take much of a beating.

@DirtyTeethMTB 3 года назад

Tracy, thanks for watching and chiming in - sounds like you've got it dialed! My Lake 303's are at the end of their lifespan, and I'm considering the Ragnaroks as a replacement - good to hear you're digging them :) Ride on!

@tracywilkins9599 3 года назад

@@DirtyTeethMTB The Ragnaroks are actually replacements for Lake MXZ301's dating from around 2006 that finally fell apart this fall. In my view, the Ragnaroks are not in the same category as the Lakes, but come in at about 60% of the cost of the current Lake MXZ and are more readily available here in Missouri without having to order them. I think they're probably less water proof than the Lakes, but are certainly lighter and probably more suited to road or gravel riding than tramping around in the snow.

Great Video, I get cold feet and definitely use a VBL system when it’s below 25F, even with Wolvhammers. I do like to use antiperspirant as well, I use the cream type and it keeps my sock dry longer, with or without liners. Curious about the battery powered socks, probably overkill, but I do like to do LONG rides in the winter and I bet it would be nice to turn up some heat after a couple hours.

As someone who frequently gets cold toes, on or off the bicycle, thank you for your advice. I live in Siberia, and it has been a pretty consistent -20C since the middle of November, and I haven't stopped cycling. My hands are nice and warm with a pair of thin work gloves (one of those that are often used when gardening or similar work) with some nice mittens on top, even if the latter are old. Everything else is warm too, but my feet just don't like low temperatures, and I didn't really know what to do about it outside of buying some new winter boots, which I can't really afford at the moment. I'll try out these tips and see if they work.

@@DirtyTeethMTB Sure thing! One more trick i would add to the list: Using potato chip bags on your feet. You can easily find those on a grocery store, and they are usually a 2 ply system that have a thin aluminum foil and a hard plastic bag. If you have some Aluminum/Speed/Duct tape make sure to add some to the bag ends to keep the bag from ripping. I found this method is specially good when using heated socks and creates a cozy atmosphere for your toes.

UK is often cold wet, and though not cold cold like I guess Alaska, you do get cold and wet, overshoes help even gortex boots stay dry and worse the water getting inside the boot as it just won’t leave. Great tips on the bags, especially double bagging, I hadn’t thought of that. As I don’t have a dog I will have to nip my nose and look in the blue doggy bin for bags I guess.

Being new to clipping in I though buying a pair of waterproof shoes was the way to go. I got a pair of five ten kestrel boas. However with pairs of socks and each foot in plastic bags, I went through one deep puddle and I was done. Not in extreme conditions, but pissing it down. Result: Freezing toes! Is there something I've missed or could try or do I just need to buy better footwear?

@DirtyTeethMTB 2 года назад

Hi Nigel... even when shoes say they're waterproof, don't believe it... I'd seam seal your shoes with shoe goo or something and use snow seal to waterproof them... you can also try waterproof gaiters to keep your feet dry if your shoes/boots get submerged and water is getting in from the top... definitely trial and error and finding a system that works for you... ride on :)

Scottish Highlands winters are the worst- damp, freeze/thaw daily, snow, sometimes -10c, then pishing rain and high winds, and of course black ice. Can't even safely get down the drive at the moment in the car it's a skating rink.... 2 wheels? Forget it, NHS is on it's knees last thing I want is an avoidable injury to wreck the whole year!!!
