Im after a pair of shoes for winter that are going to keep my feet dry. I ride on flats and genrally wear skate shoes as they grip the pedals really well. The only thing with skate shoes is that they are toss in the wet as they absorb water like a sponge and never dry out. Lots of companys make really good water proof winter riding specific spd shoes but no one has given a thought to the flat pedal user. Any ideas guys, coz im making a stand and am going to have dry feet this winter no matter what

I ride with Vans Shoes, have riden with them for years. They last for years and are very comfortable. I find any skate boarding shoes are awsome for riding.

Oggy, have you thought about using Seal Skins? I also wear Vans for riding, but put a pair of Seal Skins on to prevent wet feet. I use the Ankle length ones, but should of got the half calf ones as they can let water in over the top.

Yeh thought about them, but the only thing is that thet are not breathable, could be worth a go tho if i carnt find a specific shoes.
