Default Chilly plates of meat

Feet.

I've got a pair of Sidi Vertigo Corsas and they're great. Really comfy for my size 11+ boat feet, and easy to walk in too.

When its cold though (like say...today) my feet get cold, cos these boots have fancy "aero-cooliness" stuff going on (vents/holes/that kind of thing).

So I need a waterproof/windproof pair f' winter.

So I was looking at these:

(top item (ALPINESTARS GPS3 BOOT BLACK))

and

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sidi-BlackRain...QQcmdZViewItem

Does anyone have either of these, or any other recommendation?

Ta.

I use Sidi Black Rain Evos all year round - I use them with a decent pair of warm hiking socks which keep my toes toasty in the colder temperatures in winter (and the odd occasion this summer....). I've tested their waterproof-ness too and not had any leaks so far so long as waterproof trousers are worn over the boots.

I've had my Sidi Black Rain for 4 years, and they are fantastic boots. My feet stayed dry even after 400 miles in torrential rain, and with a decent pair of socks my feet stay warm too.

and I've got the Alpinestars Web boots also in the link. No problems with them at all, waterproof 'cos of the Goretex and pretty conservative in style, so I sometimes wear them in work if I've ridden in
