Just before xmas I bought a Cube stereo hybrid 140 HPC race, can't stay off it, absolutely love it. Problem is my feet get wet and cold, can anyone recommend a solution? I've considered wearing my neoprene diving booties but can't get my cycling shoes on over the top of them!

Sealskinz are the way to go everytime. Not cheap but cheaper than 2 different riding shoes. Windproof and warm too.

I agree but I have 16 different pairs of riding shoes and always have at least 4 pairs of sealskins. ? TBF I do ride pretty much every day all year round though and have lots of different types of bike.

The trick with sealskins is to always wear a thin pair of sports socks beneath them and to never wear tight shoes over them. Then also wear long trousers to stop water entering via the top opening of the sealskins.
Folk do moan that they don't work. But generally those folk haven't managed to work out that the only way your feet get wet inside a pair is either from your own sweat or water entering the same hole you put your foot in. ?

Agree with everything said . I've seen some riders wearing mesh trainers and shorts in the wet stuff, then giving the sealz a hard time (no clubbing jokes).
