Work for bike riding (pedals w/o cleats) to keep feet warm in cold temps? I don't ride fast in winter.

I don't use them for biking, but I do use them in the winter for pedaling my kayak...works the same. I wear insulated socks with them and they work great for me.

They might, but there are better choices. My experience with neoprene foot- and hand-wear is that they shouldn't be used when water-proofed leather or fabrics would do to keep you warm. Save the neoprene for submersion or nearly constantly wet conditions (and when it is not subject to much abrasion).

If it is cold I would buy XXL so you can layer. The trousers are designed for the US cruiser rider and there is fabric on the inside of the shins. Rain will get into your lower legs and run into your boots on a long ride. I suppose that is better than burnt plastic. In warm weather the gear is very hot but I only wear it on short rides.

I don't think so but I love them so much. 50s is about the coldest I've tried them and was fine with my upper body layered. Don't think I would want to ride with much colder weather in these.

They have good tread but I've never used them in snow or on ice. I think the design would be as good as any i've seen for those conditions.

There should be. I wore a pair of wool socks for warmth and comfort because I didn't have neoprene socks with me. My socks got wet, but my feet weren't as cold as they would have been without them on a very windy and cold canoe trip.

Probably better than warm packy snow. Should work well. I am very eased with them

They work extremely well in snow. In ice, you'll need to fit them with chains and maybe load them......

My boyfriend and I have both tried them to below zero (Fahrenheit) temperatures. They work great under snowpants and take the edge off under jeans.

Hello! Because they're SPD's on both sides, it's not too practical to use them without cycling shoes. A great alternative to check out is Shimano PD-M324 SPD Dual Platform Pedal - SPD on one side, flat on the other for use with sneakers, etc. I hope this helps!

I would just get a good pair of felt lined waterproof boots and wool socks. These socks are good for keeping your feet dry but they also make your feet sweat a bit. In a cold weather situation these socks would keep your feet dry, but they would also be frozen.

If you remain aware of your surroundings, then yes! On smooth surfaces without snow or ice your feet could become unstable. They are so easily removed & reinstalled it really shouldn't be necessary to keep them on, although I have worn them numerous times in grocery stores, etc. without difficulty.

I have not found these to be warm. I think some insulated boots would serve you better.

No, these are thermal socks. They are used to keep your feet warm in cold climates.

Earl, I live in Texas and cold riding really isn't too common down here. I have a EEE foot and they fit fine with regular socks. Ride safe brother.

No; this booty is strictly for warming the feet. You wear them over socks or bare feet. Most folks use put them on after spending a cold day outdoors. You can wear them outside but I wouldn't substitute them for good boots.

Yeah, but they are more made for the trail which I know they are great for, climbing up hills in when you get off the bike. On the road though, I feel like a road bike shoe would work better as there is no extra spiky tread that makes it harder to walk when you get off the bike on the road. They're quality though. As for pedals, look up Shimano clipless pedals and you can get a nice set for under 70 bucks. All Shimano pedals I've used are awesome.

You can use any cycling shoe with clips for indoor and outdoor - as long as you have the right clips that work with the pedals - ie Look Delta or SPD
