|   Waterproof cycling shoes? | Apple_juice
Apr 29, 2001 12:38 PM | | Hello,
Does anyone know of waterproof cycling shoes I can use for commuting in the rain? Must be able to use clipless pedals.
Thanks, Aaron |

I just use plastic grocery bags with a cleat hole cut into the bottom and a velcro reflector band at the ankle. I carry this stuff anyway, the ankle bands for nighttime commutes and the bags for dirty underwear, so it's no extra load.

Gore-tex overboots on the other hand do the opposite (though dry feet are obviously warmer than wet). For commuting, there are specific gore-tex overboots - see, for example, www.evanscycles.com under "winterwear". Take your pick... |
