Actually just my right foot, and it seems to be getting better now.
Got a new pair of Frog Toggs a while back and finally tried them out
this morning. They are much better than the older model that I have.
These have a lining, of sorts, and zippers at the ankles. Nice
addition. They still melt on the pipes, but I think it adds a little
character to both the pipes and the Frog Toggs.
I like the FTs, they keep me toasty dry, even in an I5 downpour. My
first pair, which I've had for five years or better, cost me around
$90. I found these online for $32, shipped.

Make sure your shoe doesn't have a nail in it.

My main issue with the FTs. I still carry a set in the saddlebag,
though.

So how did they make your foot hurt?

What color did you get? I could just see you in those bright orange FTs.

Yep, I'm a fan. They don't leak. They pack incredibly tight and light.
They're cheap. They've lasted a long time. My only complaint is the light
blue color we have. Makes us look like blueberries at 75mph. Dry
blueberries. On the inside. >> Stay informed about: My feet hurt |

I got the black ones this time. My last pair were tan and my wife
always said it looked like I was wearing brown paper bags. True
enough. They all turn to black on the pipes though.

I'm pretty sure that they had nothing to do with it. But now that you
mention it, my foot didn't hurt before I wore them...

I've got the $99 HD two piece rain suit, as well as a pair of the
light (silver?) FT's. I like the FT's because they breathe, so I don't
drown in my own sweat while I'm trying to keep dry from the rain. But,
these are the old kind, and they tend to leak a bit. I like the HD's
because they don't leak, but they don't breathe as well, or at all.
Pack down real, real small, though.

That's the color I got! If I need to wear the ugly ass
things, at least I'll be seen.

I found that any really rainproof suit made me sweat so I got wet anyway and
stank to boot. So I just kept my leather well oiled and lived with it.
Naturally, new gear gets discovered every day and YMMV. >> Stay informed about: My feet hurt |
