Gearing up for winter…

    Yeah I know it’s Spring but I’m new to this cycling thing so I’m having to buy everything from scratch.

    On the basis that now is actually a good time to get Winter, Late Autumn and Early Spring (and British Summer for that matter) stuff I’m wondering about shoes.

    Specifically wondering which people prefer in general. A proper Winter shoe or just their normal shoes and a good overshoe?

    Over shoes for me i have
    Over shoes for me i have tried many cheap ones but bought some craft ones. Perfect fit. Their gloves are also good.
    I’m thinking about ‘winter’ to i blew up my trainer yesterday with the vast wattage i put out. Weighing up buying a new control board (a resistor has popped) or upgrading to a kickr although i cant find any really good deals think i may have missed the boat.

    Depends what sort of riding

    Depends what sort of riding you do and how often. It’s really a toss up between winter boots or carry on wearing your regular shoes but then get thicker or windproof socks, line them with foil, wear overshoes, then buy winter boots anyway, then use the windproof socks foil liner and overshoes on the winter boots and then still reach a point where that’s not really enough. That was how I did it anyway, but I was riding 15 miles each way to work year round. The riding I do now I don’t see me needing winter boots much, and on the odd day I do venture out I’ll make do with my summer shoes and sealskinz/ foil/ overshoes.
