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 mi

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 biggest problem for riding in he

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

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 l
