Summer - oversocks or wet feet?
So the glorious British summertime is in full swing. For my ride on Sunday I currently anticipate a rain jacket and knee-warmers. However, my overshoes (like most) don't cling to the leg at the top, being designed for use with tights. If I wear them with shorts/knee-warmers, then 1. the rain will run down my bare calf and into the shoe, making them pointless, and 2. I'll look as odd as a lemonade sandwich.
So does anyone know of waterproof summer oversocks or should I just man up and get wet feet?
If in doubt then always refer to Rule 5 - http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/#5
See also Rule 9 to make you feel better
Man up and screw the cleats straight into the soles of your feet.
You skin is protection enough from the elements.
Rule #5 to the max
Sir Velo
You should be working hard enough that any rain is a welcome refreshment.
I find merino socks from endura are nice and thin but keep my feet warm even when wet.
