I'm considering getting these Army cold weather boots for riding in the winter. Any thoughts? Has anyone here used them? They're dirt cheap, and sure to be warm, but I don't know if maybe they'll be too big to comfortably operate the shifter and brake with them...

 

Winter boots can be very difficult to use for shifting. But if they're cheap, you'll at least have a nice set of cheap winter boots.

 

wind and waterproof. but i see no insulation for warmth.. i guess they expect you to use thick socks

 

I thought the true Mickey's had about three layers of wool felt on the inside bottom, and an air bladder valve on the outer side. (?)
Might also want to watch those laces!! Ever get one caught around the brake or shift lever?? You find out real quick when you come to a red light!

 

They are insulated by air if I remeber correctly. Have you actually seen them inperson? I don't thinkthey will fit between the peg and shifter.
