I commute to work through the winter here in the Washington, DC area with temps during the winter regularly in the 30's in the morning. Last season, I tried duct tape and toe covers along with ski socks with my summer shoes and it just didn't cut it. I feel I have a pretty high tolerance for the cold and my poor toes were numb after an hour ride to work. I figured this year I'm going to try more climate specific shoes. Does anyone have any recommendations for cold weather cycling shoes?
I've been looking online at the Shimano SH-MW81 and the Sidi Hydro GTX. The Sidi appears to be a bit more of a road shoe (my commuter is a road bike). I don't think any of my LBS will have them, so any feedback on those models or recommendations of another shoe that can work down to 30 degrees would be appreciated.
Thanks
