Need help with road shoe fit

Should fit snuggly I cold weather use overshoes or specialist thermal cycling socks . Loose fitting shoe's can rub causing blisters etc

I already use thermal windstopper overshoes with my normal cycling shoes, a thermolite or thin merino wool sock, and a footwarmer insole but my feet still get cold. Hence the reason for purchasing a larger sized shoe to accommodate a thick wool sock. My foot is not floating around in the shoe but there is more room in the toe box. Just wondering if that's not good.

I had to buy the shoes from online retailer because cycle shops don't carry good quality women's shoes in a variety of sizes. Very frustrating finding women's kit!

Wow that's a problem. I'm told women's bodies keep heat close ro the core so often have cold hands & feet. Sounds like a case of if it feels good do it. May have to use loose fit in winter snug in summer

Have you looked at electrically heated insoles? I've never used them myself but Maplin's have them.

I tried neoprene booties for the first time - no wind getting through those and toasty/sweaty feet in mid-Jan!

thanks to all for the input.

I'll have a look at the heated insoles.

Big shug, I also have been wearing neoprene toe covers OVER by Windstopper overshoes! And still get cold toes.
