Currently riding with Teva links and seal skins and wondering if there's anything better out there to help keep my feet warmer/drier during the winter.
There seems to be plenty of choice for clipless pedals but nothing for flats.
Whats everyone else using?
cheers
I can wear trainer socks with my teva links in snow and still have warm feet, normally run cold down there too! excellent shoes warm even when wet

Really? Mine leaked like a seive and fell apart. Only redeeming feature was how cheap they were.
Adidas terrex boots and sealskinz worked for me last winter on the snow rides and a few god awful rain rides around Stavley with stream crossings
Five Ten free rider elements with sealskins for me.
Not saying they dont leak, they seem to be like a wetsuit though, warm even when wet, maybe you got a bad pair if they fell apart, mine been through the wash dozens of times and still look like new
someone flagged these up on a similar thread
effectively an Adidas Terrex (with 5.10 Stealth rubber sole now that they own them) and a built-in waterproof sock.
Seem to be missing a trick not marketing them as a winter flat pedal shoe.

Even without sealkins these are great. Fine with Woolie Boolies for me
Ski socks , seal skin long socks over the top , pair of leggings on over that , baggies over the top
so I look less of a spacker
Five Ten's and Sealskins here as well. No complaints. Other than winter is the devil and I'm counting the days to next year's Alps trip.
I always found my Sealskinz just filled up with water, now use merino socks instead, wet but still warm.
Wet and warm > failing to stay dry ..
Wool ...
I used these last winter, Five Ten Camp Four Mid GTX, very warm. Sole is not ideal as the tread is a little deep but worked OK with the pins wound out a bit.
Shimano AM41 shoes & merino socks worked well for me last winter & the Lake District is a wet & cold place, had sealskins but may as we'll put a plastic bag over your feet
Waterproof approach shoes, thin merino socks and knee-length sealskins. I look utterly ridiculous, but never had a problem with water getting in, or oversweatyness.
Doubt it will appeal to the trendies here but with flats you don't need expensive caps. Walking boots and gaiters work better.
As for baggies over tights. Good grief man, have some self respect.
Don't seem to be available yet but I might try the mid stx a go when they are http://enduro-mtb.com/en/eurobike-2015-new-vaude-moab-riding-shoes/
I ride in goretex walking boots
I'll get my coat....
