San Diego, Academic Computer Center Lines: 18 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. Many Thanks, Bill
