Best bike footwear according to redditors

• Gloves.
  
• Shoe Covers.
  
• Balaclava.
  
• Snow Tires. (Only good with disc brakes)
  
  This is just a start, but these are some things I've used and things I've seen. Those gloves are impregnable to wind, and are incredibly warm in sub-freezing temps.

Sure thing! I try to be as frugal as possible. Amazon has been good to my wallet.

Base Thermal Kit

Windproof Jacket

Overshoes

Balaclava Mask

Windproof Gloves

The thermal kit is very comfortable and perfect for riding in the 40s and 50s. Once it dips to the 20s and 30s, I add the jacket on top and switch from regular winter skully to the balaclava mask. My feet were noticeably warmer with the overshoes too. If you buy any items, order 1 size bigger. For example, I'm normally XL by American standard. These are Asian manufacturers, so I order XXL.

Happy [warmer] cycling!

I strongly recommend getting some barmitts. https://www.amazon.com/Bar-Mitts-Handlebar-Shifters-Externally/dp/B00380H7PK They are really easy to put on and take off. They make riding a lot more comfortable -- especially if you're going to be on the bike for a long time. They allow you to wear thinner gloves while still having warm hands. By wearing thin gloves, you're less likely to have sweat build up and ruin the insulation's capacity.

I also think it's a very good idea to get shoe covers. These are fine: https://www.amazon.com/KINGBIKE-Cycling-Overshoes-Resistance-Windproof/dp/B07H7J4JPV/ref=sr_1_3 They help a bit with water/slush spray and quite a lot with cold/wind.

My friend get these. I commute and ride in the rain. Nothing has gotten through these yet. They grip even better than my boots in the wet and pack small. USHTH Black Waterproof Rain Boot... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072JH69KJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

keep in mind that hands and feet are the hardest body parts to keep warm. Good merino liner gloves (you use them under regular winter gloves) and shoe covers are essential in my book.

Also, be careful no to over-dress. Sometimes you get more wet from sweat than rain.

I've got these. They were $30, and I like them so far.

For the hood, look up balaclavas or ski masks. Just make sure it is not too hot.
It seems like the look near the legs could be achieved by wearing extra-long socks (like soccer socks) over loose jogging pants.
I would wear regular black shoes but if you really want to get that clean look, you could use cycling overshoes on top of regular shoes (something like this if you can find it in 100% black) or just put very large socks over shoes.

Mine were on clearance, and no longer available.

You should be able to find others on local sporting good sites, or Amazon. A small selection in Canada are here and here.

I got these shoe covers: https://www.amazon.com/ArunnersTM-Waterproof-Reusable-Overshoes-Transparent/dp/B06X92J67P/ref=sr_1_1?m=A30VB8JDBJ3J2G&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1501201291&sr=1-1&th=1

I purchased an older version of these for my boyfriend and they ended up leaking but worked well against mud. The seller actually sent me these newer versions for free since the old ones got soaked from rain at Tomorrowland. Hopefully these new ones will do better. I already got the replacement and they fit better over my shoes. However, they probably won't work for you if your shoe size is bigger than 11. The XXXL fits very snugly on his size 11 shoes.

I don't like the cold and I get cold easier than everyone I ride with.

So, I have tried nearly every kind of combination: wool socks, waterproof socks, roadie shoe covers, mtb shoe covers.

Other than buying winter mtn shoes that are waterproof, the only way I have found to really keep the water out and keep my feet warm is buy using Pearl Izumi's Elite Barrier shoe cover. These things are EXPENSIVE.

Cheaper price, Amazon link

Remember to put some duct tape on the inside of your shoes to cover where the cleat attaches.

When it is really cold, I get the chemical toe warmers.
I rode last night in 9 degree Fahrenheit weather, I wore wool socks, waterproof socks over that, my shoes, and then the Elite Covers. I did not wear toe warmers though I should have. My toes started to get cold after two hours of riding.

I have found that Road shoe covers let water in and my feet do not stay warm. When you go through a puddle, water would hit the bottom of my feet and go up and around the sides of my shoes, inside the shoe cover.

I don't do sub-60 degree weather. I just bought (an expensive-for-me) bike and I've been itching to ride it. The weather was not cooperating, so I went out and bought some gear that ended up allowing me to ride without freezing my nuts off. Buy this stuff and you'll love < 60F - > 10F

I usually sport these with wool socks in the winter, but my feet also still feel too cold.

I have the SealSkinz neoprene overshoes. They provide a pretty decent amount of insulation against the cold and wind, but they are not waterproof. They're fine in a brief drizzle, but if you're riding through much rain I'd get something else.

From what I recall when shopping for shoe covers, the Pearl Izumi Pro Barrier shoe covers seemed like they'd be properly waterproof

I use a set made by Sugoi for really rainy days and they are just a cover with no insulation. On Amazon, these look to be the same https://www.amazon.com/Sugoi-Resistor-Bootie-Black-Small/dp/B00CU8AAIW/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1466777702&sr=1-1&keywords=sugoi+shoe+covers

I use boot covers and a full frogg toggs set over my regular gear. Both pack up nicely and are a breeze to dry out.

I've been pretty happy with Gore Bike Wear overshoes, more testing the wet than the cold though.

Last winter I used a set from RockBros that I got on Amazon. They were neoprene toes covers that fit really well over my MTB shoes w SPD cleats. These kept my feet warm in 37degree NYC winter weather. With regular socks (not wool).

I bought a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/Planet-Bike-Comet-Covers-X-Large/dp/B004BIZ0DY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452879717&sr=8-1&keywords=planet+bike+shoe+covers

and they were a game-changer.

I bike year round, so I know what it's like when it gets chilly in the winter.

Around this time of year, I usually start to gear up, which means the following:

• Extra pants - I normally wear bike pants, so when it starts to get cold I add a pair of track pants on top. It may not seam like much, but it provides a buffer of air that keeps you fairly warm, and if its snowing/raining, the track pants take most of the beating, keeping your legs fairly dry
  
  
• Jacket - Seems fairly simple, but I try to only wear a rain jacket, and nothing bulky like a winter one. Again, it keeps you dry, and provides a buffer. When you ride, you naturally give off heat, and you want to trap that near you.
  
  
• Face mask - I have two models I use this for most days, I also have a wool ski mask for extreme cold, though the first usually suffices. The thin layer keeps the wind off your face and allows you to breathe quite nicely.
  
  
• Goggles - Ski goggles, work quite well to keep the stinging away. Make sure to get non tinted ones if you ride at night.
  
  
• Gloves - Time to look like a lobster. These type of gloves keep your fingers together for warmth, but still let you shift and brake.
  
  
• Feet - If your feet get cold, my normal strategy is to double up on socks. You can get shoe covers that work even without bike shoes, or if you're cheap (and don't mind looking crazy) you can just put your foot in a plastic bag and tie it down.
  
  Of course, all of this advice is based on riding when its just cold. I have very little experience riding when its snowy (it may get cold here but it rarely snows, just rains).
