OK - so I have a pair of Specialized Defrosters which I have found to be just great, however, there is an issue with all waterproof cycling shoes. If it's raining significantly, and you are wearing tights, the water soaks into the tights, wickes down your socks and straight into the shoes.
As far as I can find, the only solution available is long waterproof trousers which overlap the tops of the shoes. I hate waterproof trousers as they tend to be baggy and also not long enough and need stirrups to keep them in place which none seem to have (feel free to point me in the direction of some that satisfy all of these).
So, this is my idea - what I need is a piece of waterproof stretchy fabric which bridges the gap between the shoe and the tights. It must overlap the top of the shoe and then sit UNDER the bottom of the tights - like a kind of gaiter. This will then seperate the wet tights from my socks stopping the wicking effect.
Does such a thing exist?
If not then I may pop down to Decathlon to buy a cheap wetsuit and cut the bottom of the legs off! I know neoprene isn't waterproof, but it's a start.
Any better ideas?
