Does anyone have a pair of these? They don't appear to have a zip so I'm thinking they may be more effective than other overshoes I've tried.
Yeah I'm still trying to work out how you put them on. I think they may be like spats where you put them on first then stretch them downwards over the shoe.I would have thought they will be a bugger to put on.
Fine I guess of they are for long rides where you're only taking them on/off once every 4 hours say. Not for commuting IMO.
Don't know what the underneath is like but I suspect you'll hve to be very careful walking in them without them falling apart.
I'm hoping the point where they join my leg is more waterproof as I assume it will be elasticated. With the current ones there is always the question of "Should I have them as tight as possible" (often ends up rubbing the skin away) or "Fasten them in the way it looks like they should" (feet get wet). My feet aren't getting wet through the bottom of the shoe (although the inside of the shoe is) cos I have sealskins socks on.Your feet aren't getting wet with other overshoes because of the zip down the back so I don't see how these would be better.
I have thought about boots but the cost seems prohibitive for how much I'd use them. Yeah, yeah I know, it depends how much I value dry feet!!Try a pair of Northwave goretex winter boots instead. Farenheit for road, Celcius for MB style cleats. Far better than overshoes.

I just want dry feet!
