I have tried Alturas and dhb.
When it rains, your feet get wet. Overshoes look "well hard". None of them work. By the way, Sealskinz socks don't work either.

I put my feet in sandwich bags before fitting my shoes to keep them dry, I use aero guard breeze blockers to keep the wind chill off.

Some good discussion here

If you have chunky MTB shoes you'll need to go pretty big

I got some mavic toe covers for my size 9 Sonomas, needed an xl. Reckon they'll keep the worst off

Basically anything with neoprene in is generally waterproof.

I find the altura ones good, they cost about £20-£30 but are worth it.

Mr Haematocrit do they keep your ankles dry matey

 

[nicholas]

thanks chris will look at them now

 

[nicholas]

slowmotion you need overshoes like me he he join the hunt

Should add if you follow the sizing on them it is a tight fit on race style shoes. People often go for the next size up to give more room. No idea if that compromises waterproofing ability though as I bought 41 to 43 for 42 shoes (7 to 8)
