Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic-cold/wet boot recommendations
I get funny looks riding in my Sorel's here in DC but in that zone Patrick mentions it's the best setup I've used. They are a bit clunky especially as mine are a bit larger for my feet but for commuting distances it's not a problem and warm dry feet more than balance the problem! I find that mine dry out over the course of the work day of I pull out the liner's a bit. Oh and +1 on the bean shearling insoles, they are magic!

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic-cold/wet boot recommendations
Just pull the liners out at the end of the day. Same goes for any boot, pull the insoles out. Things will dry out overnight with the liners/insoles out of the boot as long as they are inside (and not on the unheated rain/snow porch).

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic-cold/wet boot recommendations
Good deal, Drew. The more you use them the more you'll learn. Short the below 0˚F zone, the most dangerous temp zone is wet and sloppy (45˚F-20˚F, depending on conditions). Pick up some extra socks and liners, and you'll have room to screw up, learn, and change into something dry. Grin.

Alright. I went with some lightly used sorels off eBay with a more treaded sole and removable liners. Been seeing mostly rain, mud and ice so far, so I hope I didn't over do it in the warmth department. I hadn't considered the dryablitly of the liners, but its all making sense now.

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic-cold/wet boot recommendations
That's good info Patrick .I used to have a pair of suede pull overs and they were very warm . I couldn't wear them in summer too warm. On Dec 8, 2016 4:26 PM, "Deacon Patrick" wrote: The concepts on winter boots I've learned: wet and sloppy (wet and 45˚ down to 20˚F): keep outside moisture out, even if it means rubber bottoms/oiled leather. Swap liners and socks to allow for drying. Feet often get wet from not being able to breathe. The trick is to anticipate this and swap liners as needed. Everything colder than 20˚F: highly breathable and wind blocking outer (suede is great!) with plenty of upsizing and extra layers (with lots of room for those layers) -- the idea being to evaporate moisture away while out and about so feet stay dry and warm. Give liners time to dry, and extra liners help.

Thanks I'll check on the insoles when I talk to LL Bean Jon On Dec 7, 2016 7:48 PM, "GAJett" wrote: I bought my Bean boots with optional shearling insoles. See if such are still available. Very comfortable working short term in Wyoming winters down to -45! (Frost nipped my fingers shoveling snow with heavy ski gloves -- couldn't find my heavy mittens.) Also narrower than the Sorels so more bike friendly. Frequently rode down to -25 although not for long distances. A favorite memory is riding in 6 to 8 inches of fresh powder, the snow "exploding" off my feet at the bottom of every pedal stroke. Actually quite beautiful!

Re: [RBW] Re: Off topic-cold/wet boot recommendations
Those boots come in kind of wide if you have narrow feet. I have wide feet and have those same boots with thick wool socks. I do not ride bicycle with them but my feet are never cold or constricted do to room.
