When cycling in cold weather, the tips of your body all at risk of being cold. The feet, in particular, tend to feel the chill more than elsewhere, because the pedal, you are making the rounds, which only increases the wind factor.

One of the best ways to keep the feet warm is to use rubbers. Overshoes are boots are Gore-Tex, neoprene or nylon, which are designed to be pulled in more than shoes. Overshoes are firmly attached to their feet using velcro, and often have little reflective strips on the back, which of course is a useful safety measure that increases your visibility. In addition, you have lost nothing of its control over the pedal, and they even have an opening window on the ground.

Besides keeping your feet warm when cycling, overshoes will also help keep your shoes dry – is essential if you walk in the shoes all day! If a road bike without front fender that has probably noticed water being dumped on top of the feet, so in the event that you will find especially useful galoshes.

Overshoes are long term (provided you remember to take them as soon as you get off your bike), but some people find embarrassing to wear only. If you not want to wear clogs, another alternative that you can see is water proof socks. Water proof socks can do a great job of keeping feet warm and dry but should be aware that are thicker than normal socks, so you need to use the most shoes with them.
