Waterproof Shoes

[Bandini]

I have toe clips - and I am sticking with them for now.

Is there a lightweight waterproof shoe that will slip easily in and out of my clips that anyone knows of? And that I can wear on and off the bike?

I think overshoes will be a bit bulky, and trekking shoes are definitely a no go.

I suyppose I am really after a non-bulky waterproof trainer. Any suggestions?

Cheers - but all a bit to 'grippy' to smoothly pull out of my clips. I have found some tasteful, non grippy, and pretty cheap, Lacoste waterproof trainers on ebay - £60 and look nice.

unless your using guards, the water will still come in, and if it really tips down, without over shoes and waterproof trousers, your feet will still get soaked.

I am using guards - I have a touring bike. Will they save me?

for most of it. you will only get wet feet when it absolutely pours it down, but then not a lot will keep you fully dry!!

I will keep dry socks in my pannier and try to make it to the nearest open fire. And if that just happens to be in a boozer...
