I'm gonna zero in on one comment, because I have a question for you.



I've noticed the "heat sink" effect of cycling shoes with metal cleats. Non cycling shoes of similar construction on platform pedals are noticeably warmer when temps get down to freezing and below. Is there any way to effectively insulate that steel plate in the cycling shoe?
I bought a pair of winter cycling specific shoes (Fizik Artic). In addition, I added some insoles. The insoles by themselves helped a little in my regular shoes, but 1) not enough for me, and 2) my regular shoes don't really have the room for them. My winter shoes are one size larger.
