Frank I picked up a pair of the 5.10 insulated high tops. They are warm. I wear them when I take the kids sledding warm. You should check them out.

I just got these... wore them for the first time on Sunday. I really liked them. Just as grippy as my Specialized 2FO flat shoes, a little more supportive and comfortable at the same time.

Are these waterproofish?

Not sure what you mean by water proof? they're shoes, they're not rubber boots. If you stick your foot in water, it will get wet. They are water resistant, but not water proof.

I have these as well and they are great for the winter months. I used to mess around with a thin sock, plastic bag, and a thick sock over it all under my normal freeriders. There is no need for all of that with the 5.10 EPS shoes.

Curious -- What's the lowest temperature that you've used these shoes in, and how long were you able to comfortably stay out there?

Honestly, I can't remember for sure. I think I had them out for a couple hours in the high teens with one pair of thick wool socks.

I think once your feet sweat in the cold, you're bound to get a chill.

Frank... they are the Giro Riddance Mid
I’ve been out in the teens for two hours with smart wool socks and was just fine. Also shovel my driveway in them and use them to snowshoe.

I wore my Specialized 2FO flats in 18* last year.... thick wool socks for the win. I think I also had foot warmers in.
My boots are good to at least -5 (I think that's what it hit nyd last winter) with Summer socks for several hours. Just buy the right gear and its nbd to be out in the cold
This thread is no longer about flat pedals...
Why are everyone’s feet so cold? I’ve worn my normal 510 Maltese down in the single digits with some wool socks and I’m fine. Just don’t stop pedaling or you die. My biggest concern is always head and fingers.

LOL! "Just don't stop pedaling or you die". Awesome! I rode my 510 Freeriders and Impacts down to teens. The wool socks are the key! Get wool socks people if you dont have them.
my feet have always been fine in my summer shoes down to the teens, as long as they stay dry!, and that is the key to me, i bought the winter boots for the waterproofing more than anything else, shoe covers just didnt cut it in the snow, it would get packed underneath, melt and that was the end . . .
