Perhaps many of you will be surprised to find out that "cold toes"
could be a problem in San Diego.  At 6 AM the sun is not up and the
temperatures are typically in the low 40's.  My toes do not reach
the point of stinging pain that a five mile walk through wet 
New England snow will bring, but they are quite noticeably cold
and numb.  I have tried multiple socks with no relief.  For $7.95
I tried "toe warmers" ( they fit over the toe clips ).
The result was the same.  I am now preparing to clunk down another
$15 to $30 on overboots that can be worn with cleats.  I am concerned
that, even if they fit easily into the toe clips, the boot by
constant rubbing will decay in no time or less.

Anyone with any experience with these boots or other methods of keeping
our dearly beloved, albiet neglected, extremities warm is welcomed to
reply.
