When it gets real cold, I put a thin silk sock, then stick the toe warmer to the bottom of my foot, then wool socks over that. I use flats in the winter and hiking boots. This combination is magical! For the hands, I can wear thin gloves under Moose-mitts and that is magical. Once I solved the extremities issues, it was game-changing for winter riding.

Do you put them on the bottom of your feet as per directions or the top of your feet?

Bottom, never tried the top though.

 

[soundz]

I tried both. Didn't see a noticeable difference. Feels more comfortable on bottom.

 

[Paul H]

Anyone need a tire?

Tried the toe warmers on top. My initial reaction was... this is it!
About 20 minutes into the ride... eh... no real difference lol
But really loving the fact that my hands and feet are no longer an issue in the winter... @huffster was right... no fear riding in the cold anymore!

Having bar mitts disqualifies you from noobdom.

Means you would have to move up to Elite class in BIYF.

Didn't enter BIYF because there wasn't an Elite Noob class...

I don't have a BJ's card doe.

Incase anyone needs to order from Amazon, the 40 pack is the best deal. I don't know why the 20 and 80 pack cost so much. Pricing has been like that for like 5 years.

This morning certainly did not feel like mid to upper 30's. Luckily, the wuss that I am, wore 2 pairs of socks and had my bar mitts on the bike.
Had a close call when I got knocked off the saddle....

My right foot landed right on that middle spot where there were no ice. If I was couple of inches off... might have done a split that even Son Yeon Jae would have been proud of.

Been reaching out to the edges of the handlebar these days so I ordered a 740mm bar from aliexpress. For $15... Not much to lose I guess. Now... How do I wait 2-3 weeks? Lol
