overshoes

[Andrew_Culture]

Mine are Lake MTB boots, something like http://www.leisureoutlet.com/cyclin...g-Boots.html?gclid=CLrzjOaN-cICFcoBwwodw0oAWw
Can't remember if I paid £70 or £80 now? Was thinking of getting some winter shoes for the road bike, but it's getting a bit silly with all my shoes, so I just use std spd pedals on my old road bike through winter

RRP of £189!

Winter Boots for me too I've had a pair of Diadora 'Chilli' for 7 yrs but managed to tear the side of the right boot on a chainring (in an 'off') they're still ok heat wise but not as good in the rain, I then went for some Specialized that are similar, in that they cover my ankle Both pairs were reasonably priced when I bought them in April/May but full whack is a bit steep.

I have Altura overshoes for keeping feet warm and Endura waterproof over those. Still get cold, damp toes.
Must try something else.

I use bbb heavyduty overshoes. They need to be a tight fit and the neo material allows for pulling and stretching...the weak link with them is always the zip which after time (usually 18months) breaks off! I then have the ridiculous scenario of trying to thread wire/cord through the hole where the end of the zip was so that I can pull the damn thing up! I love overshoes and accept their limitations and need for replacement but they are so good at keeping my feet not only dry but warm

i am a first time user of overshoes(Endura). i dont know if there is a certain method of fitting them as it took me nearly half hour to get them on and i struggled to fasten the rear zips. i am a size 8 shoe and bought the size 9 L overshoe. i must be doing something wrong or is it because its the first time they hae been worn, i know they are meant to be tight fitting but these seem very tight and yet the next size up is to fit size 11-12 shoe. help!

I have used enduras in the past and did also go for a larger size as they are indeed a small fit....best to try in the shop before purchase, easy to do in Bristol as the two big stores in the centre cyclesurgery and evans both stock them

I've got Endura overshoes which I agree are a flipping struggle to get on. I've also got Sealskin neoprene ones which are much easier but since I bought some winter boots (Northwave Celsius) I never use either of them!

Dare I say that the Aldi ones I bought in their winter stock week are lovely and stretchy and keep my feet dry and protected from the wind! That's over three pairs of socks inside lace up shoes.

The BBB thermotex one's at less than £30 are top notch.

I use these

Have used Endura neoprene overshoes for the last couple of years, Keep my feet warm when it's cold and dry, useless when it's pouring down with rain though, Am seriously thinking about winter boots.

http://bbbcycling.com/bike-wear/shoecovers/BWS-04 These for when it is wet or cold or both. They are on their second winter with me & still look in very good condition.

Otherwise some lighter DHB ones to keep the wind and dirt off. These aren't so hard wearing.

I didn't use anything and got very wet and very cold, won't be doing that again.

We stopped at a cyclists cafe today and I couldn't believe the state of some of the bikes. You could tell it wasn't fresh dirt from today's ride. The way some people treat their bikes.......
