My two (€) cents:
I ordered a pair of Five Ten Trail Cross GTX because I was planning a ride
in the snow on the Belgian High Fens (Hoge Venen).
They didn't turn up on time, so I made do with what I already had for
footwear: Specialized Rime MTB shoes, knee length sealskinz socks, and

Well, if global warming fails to appear and we get nucular winter instead,
I'll look for an updated pair. As things stand now, we here in high desert
ABQ are lucky if we get a couple of decent snows per year, and rarely get
more than a week of lows low enough for wearing my old pair.

My Diadora winter shoes sound like the same design using a neoprene cuff
with a wrapping flap (sort of) secured by velcro. I have to position both
faces of the velcro away from the socked foot entering or the flap with the
loop patch goes in with my foot and/or the hook patch adheres to my sock
"Do the models from the last 5 years use the same wrap-around neoprene
sock?"
Not the model I mentioned, which are more like a hiking boot with a stiff
sole that can easily be used for walking around.

Bought a pair of Lake (MXZ 200) a couple years ago and wear them when it

They have a goretex liner, vibaram sole, great stiffness and plenty of room
in the toe box for thick socks. They also have a cutaway so you can use
SPDs if that's your speed.

On Sun,
For quick trips around town I usually just wear hiking books--with wool
socks, I'm plenty warm down into the teens.
For longer rides, there's really nothing better than neoprene shoe covers.
I went out for almost four hours today in 35 degree weather, wearing
regular cycling socks, my Pearl Iz
Sounds like you’re going in the right direction. There are also toe and
hand warmers—you expose to air and the chemical reaction releases heat—and
battery powered heated socks.

Daily temperatures have been dropping to lower 40s F here in Seattle. I am

my go-to is birkenstock - good support, especially for my high arches, and the

+1 on the Blundstones. I wear my dressier 063s to work whenever possible.
Comfortable right out of the box, nice looking and great on platform pedals. I
also have a pair of Red Wing Postman Chukkas that are also great on the bike.

I too wear these daily. 7 years old and wear like steel/cro-mo. ;-). So
comfortable too.
The day I bought mine, a gentleman came into the shop wearing Blundstones, to
p/u a new pair of the same. The pair he was wearing had 10 years on them.

+1 on the Shimano GR-7. No problems walking in them. They have a nice and
stiff sole for being on the pedals. After a long ride of pushing hard on the
pedals, my feet don’t hurt. I have found regular shoes my feet will hurt after
awhile because the sole is too thin.

For the past 18 months I have been using my Blundstones (510s) and quite
like them for an afternoon of riding where I might walk for 30 minutes or
more...
I just replaced mine, which lasted 1998 to 2018 (if my memory can be relied
on)

I’ve always found the traditional Vans bottoms to be great in dry conditions,
but add a little water and they have been really bad in my experience. So I
don’t wear them anymore. Lately my faves have been Addidas Stan Smiths.
Previously, I liked the Sambas, but the Smiths are even better. I have

So for years my go to shoes for rambling around with platform pedals have

they've gone out of production. I generally use the VP Thin Gripsters or

Shimano SPD sandals, size 43-44. Pretty much falling to pieces, but you can
still get some life out of them. Sheldon would approve.
