Any recommendations? - pref velcro as will use them for different shoes i.e. race vs touring type shoe 🙂
Have some basic 4 year old Altura ones which are fine to keep you feet dry when road is wet but in heavy rain no good and also they are starting to fall apart 🙁
Not sure you'll get 100% waterproof, but neoprene ones will keep your feet warm still if they get wet. These are a bit lairy, but very good especially when it gets colder too [url= http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Pro-Tarmac-NPU-Overshoe_29977.htm?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=Product_Search&utm_campaign=Froogle02 ]Pro Tarmac NPU[/url]
I would recommend not using them and getting some waterprof boots. If you can afford it, of course. I got some Northwave ones on sale but I was lucky.
I use the standard Endura that you see lots of people with. But these won't fit your bill (zip closure). These hold the water off pretty well - having a rubber coating to the neoprene - though inevitably anything with a hole at the ankle and two under the sole means that water will make its way through.
molgrips makes a a good suggestion - a friend swears by this approach.
Try BBB Heavy Duty ones, neoprene which means that even if some water does get in your feet stay nice and warm. I've had a pair for 5 years and although a bit tatty they still work very well.
Cool - yeah did think of the shoes but pricing put me off - Maybe i'll keep my eyes out in the sales?
Otherwise I'll have a look at those BBB one - I did see them when pursuing 🙂 Maybe I'll have to think about velcro vs zips as there are few with velcro 🙁
@ hammerite - the Pro ones look good even if they are a bit larey 😉
The Endura MTB ones will fit road race and touring shoes okish. But mine fell apart after 3 rides, so I wouldn't bother.
cheers for the tip ransos
If not going with waterproof shoes then craft overshoes are very good.
Endura Luminite for me - velcro closure, waterproof and warm. They're currently doing commuting duties cos they've got loads of reflective highlights.
