Most road shoes handle at least the 3-bolt "Look" pattern, and Speedplay
cleats come with an adapter plate for that pattern.

A more important issue for you would be if the shoe is warm enough. See if
you can find one to try, or at least return it if it doesn't match your
expectations. Look for one the fits but also has some room for a slightly
thicker sock then a summer sock.

About a year (and one winter) has passed since I have seen any reviews
of winter cycling shoes. I am prepared to purchase the new model from
either Lake or Gaerne, but would like to hear pros/cons and other
recommendations from similarly cold-footed riders.

In particular, can anyone confirm that Lake or Gaerne winter shoes
can/cannot work with Speedplay (X/2) cleats?

For the record, the following have proven insufficient: plastic bread
bags, shoe covers, duct tape, neoprene socks, Gore-Tex socks, and
battery powered heated insoles (although those aren't bad). I have
Reynaud's syndrome, and if you have it too you know about cold toes...
