Overshoes (again, Sorry!)

[compo]

30 miles this morning and my feet were freezing. It seems time I invested in some overshoes but am unsure what I need. Waterproof and windproof take as said. However I use toeclips, so do I need different overshoes to the ones designed for cleats?


I have been looking at these, would they do the job?

I don't think there are cleat or toe clip specific overshoes so you will need to loosen the straps to allow for the extra material.

As far as overshoes go, those look good, they are neoprene so should be quite warm but in the winter, whatever you do (within reason) you will still end up with cold feet!

I think you need a good pair of walking boots, i use them on the mtb.

I've been really been impressed by my Santini Neoprene Overshoes, all but the zips which failed fast but they were only £7 out of a lbs bargain bucket, probably from a batch with dodgy zips.

I have the BBB hard wear ones at the moment. They've been pretty good so far. If you have big feet I have a pair of 47-48 which have been worn just once (needed a size smaller in the end).

If that is an offer, I take a size 11 or 12 (depends on the shoes) which falls in the range of yours so yes, I would love them. If you would like to PM me with a price and how you would like your money, ie, PayPal that would be great. Many thanks.

I've had a pair of BBB Heavy Duty overshoes that have lasted very well for the last 2 winters. They help against the cold but that won't necessarily mean you'll have genuinely warm toes, just less painful. Unfortunately I don't have the money right now for some decent winter cycling boots but I think they're probably the only decent solution for my poor circulation. Oh well, after Christmas I should have some cash....

gaffer tape on the vents of your shoes, then put the overshoes on.

the endura ones are great for keeping feet dry and warm-ish. the only downside is they don't last long at all. bought a pair in October and they are trashed already. the MTB ones also squeak against the crank arm. the road ones are better but as i say have started to fall to bits at the rear. the BBB ones look a better idea with ther strap under the soleplate.

i am just going to bite the bullet and buy a pair of winter boots from shimano and wear thinsulate socks with them.

I use toe clips and straps in the winter too - but i wear thermal neoprene shoes to cycle in, best things i have bought.

Can cycle in them and walk the dog in them in winter and my feet stay toasty warm and dry too.
