Road shoes with covers

The time gains to be had from wearing a pair of these are not to be dismissed

This was a serious question

Tri shoes are unique in how they are quick to put on, not in how aero they are.

Bont Crono is the gold standard I guess.

Bont Zero+, DMT Pista, Giro Empire or S-Works are all low profile.

I have S-Works I got as ex demo for a great price. Covered with plastic coated overshoes, Castelli Nano, SMART Aero Tech, or some secret squirrels.

Only ever used road shoes my self but I might try some thin covers in the spring if I do TT's but I enjoying cycling to work at the moment and if I was to do TT's I'd have to drive more and pay for parking :-/

Of course it makes a difference... How much a difference and whether it is worth thinking about depends of quite a few factors.

Don't forget, different shoes can mean your bike set up needs to undergo some changes, a few mm might be all it takes to see a worthwhile gain

Tri shoes are easier to get into,have very good venting mainly for drainage,not much disadvantage on a TT apart from early in the year your feet will be cold,but most would use covers for aero reason,so that would be a bonus to keep your feet warm

One old rider turned up at our 10's a couple of years ago having forgot his shoes and rode round in sandals and still churned out a ride I could only dream about.
