Are my cold feet normal?

[Berties]

my circulation has got worse the older i have got,and i suffer from cold tips of toes and fingers,i run in silver thread gloves gloves,on my feet when i ride ,i still wear my summer shoes but always my pro or gore wind proof covers,and assos fugu socks 8-0 degree,and my feet stay snug,keep you upper body wicked with what ever tickles you i use merano wool,and legs winter tight bibs so keeping me warm,I always start with a gore wind proof to which i can un zip arms,its hard to get layers right in the cold,i chop and change back to shorts and leg warmers but this cold i use quality gear

try wrapping your feet with cling film, works for me. last winter just one pair of socks bit of cling film and toesty feet.

Too much caffeine will not help if that happens to be an issue.

If you can afford it, get some proper cycling winter boots. I was skeptical of them but bought some earlier this year on the recommendation of a friend. One of the best purchases I have made for my cycling. Very warm and dry and much much better than overshoes.

Not sure it would cure it but my feet really improved with two thermal socks and winter boots. I got the Northwave Celcius and they are in to the second winter, a bonus is that they are very reflective.

Brilliant boots - bonus too that they are easy to clean.

Very heavy though, not very waterproof and no warmer than shoes (a size up to allow thick socks) with good thick neoprene overshoes IME.

1. Very heavy though,2. not very waterproof and 3. no warmer than shoes (a size up to allow thick socks) with good thick neoprene overshoes IME.

1. Not in my experience, no (carbon soled)

2. very waterproof-just have to remember to keep tops of socks from the top and any longs over the top.

3. Definitely warmer than shoes with overshoes.

Perhaps you bought a dud pair.

So you wear them with waterproof overtrousers? Not something I would ever do. Still I don't remember it saying on the box 'waterproof (but only if you wear them with waterproof overtrousers)'!

They're warmer than my normal summer shoes if I try to fit a fat pair of socks in them, but not warmer than a size up pair of shoes with good socks and overshoes.
