Regarding cold feet, we reached out to Jonathan Lee (@leejonathan_) and here’s what he had to say about heated socks:

Heated socks are a game changer, and most allow you to select different heat levels that allow you to maintain comfort through changing conditions. You can get cheap options on AliExpress, but most have the heating elements underneath the toes, and this is uncomfortable and can get super hot in cycling shoes. So if you get those ones and find them uncomfortable, depending on the design of the sock, you can cut out the heating elements and hand sew them to a pair of socks you like. These for example: Winter Moto Heated Socks

As promised, here is the Fly Thermal Jacket Paula talked about on the podcast
