Does anybody know if ShinShields actually solve the problem of water
getting into shoes? My long-legged self experiences a large gap with the
Riv rain paints (bikegods forbid making a thin + tall sized pant!) and this
is the only weakness in my otherwise hermetically sealed raingear. I don't

No, but I used to use the Pro-route spats. They look a little more vented
than the Duxback. Those go with the cape with the hood and might be a good
combination elsewhere, but in my area the Pro-route line handles even the
worst rainy weather. I actually bought the Carradice cape from RBW before

Blundstones are quite nice. They look good and are waterproof. You can get
shearling lined ones for really, really cold conditions.

I use my hiking boots (old-style Vasque Sundowners) for cold and cold+wet.
In warmer conditions, I use the MUSA Splats, which work well, but are a bit
large for my shoes (Men's US10).
Anyone use gaiters? I'm thinking of getting a set for hiking and cycling.

The Lake boots are gore-tex (or a similar material, I forget) and have
ratcheting laces, both of which are decidedly high-tech. While I'm in
agreement that lycra is probably what Satan wears to exercise I'm less
tolerant to getting wet. I guess riding in socks or barefoot is "an"
option but i

My Sunday paper comes in a long thin plastic bag that fits snugly over my
MTB shoes. I've saved enough to have a nice supply. A couple of rubber
bands holds the top and loose parts in check. I can easily snap in and
out of SPD pedals without fooling with cutting holes in the sole part.

Don't forgot the inspiration for this board. MUSA Spatz work well, pack
compact and light, and look cool in their own peculiar way.

I forgot to mention those. Remarkable product. You can stand in a puddle
without getting wet, yet they breathe.

I have a pair of seal skins that I use over my regular socks when it is
raining hard. Keeps me dry a lot longer than the neoprene booties I used to
use. Those were good for about 20 minutes, then more wet suit than
waterproof.

Air space and circulation are why it works. Anything that limits bloodflow
greatly harms the ability to keep that part warm. Most shoes are not foot
shaped, but last shaped, so inherently are foot binders (not just cycling
shoes, but any shoe). When I went barefoot my foot stayed a size 12 in

My favorite is still wool socks and sandals, but I've never been in

socks to change into works well. I've hit some day long wet weather on
tours where no matter what footwear one used it would be soaked. For a
