And if you can't manage that, do you ask someone else for a "donation"???
I just wear my shoes to drive home, by then they're usually nicely thawed out. The main problem for me though is managing to untie wet walsh laces with cold hands, given that they're practically impossible to undo even at the best of times!

Not as much fun for the specatators, though!
Me, I got shot of me walsh laces, and put the last pair of inov8 ones in them. Easier to undo by a long shot. That's my combo now, walsh shoes and some other bugger's laces in them!
Jake uses Porelle socks plus wool mixture socks - Walsh shoes though you wouldn't be able to tell since they are covered in bog most of the time

jake has used this combination down to -8 through to slush around 1 c for upto 7 miles without issue. we use lacelock to avoid the issue of trying to get frozen walsh laces off !
I use sealskinz plus wool socks
Agree with this. The wet suit effect of sealskinz does help (altho I still get annoyed that they don't do what they say 'on the tin'). Smartwool do some thin merino liner sock which improve the 'wet suit' effect even further. As long as you keep running they do seem to warm up (eventually )

My right ankle taking the brunt of it, Ankle badly scratched but my seal skinz......!!! shredded errrrrm..... Santa I've been really good.
