Shoe covers on trainers?

[Tin Pot]

so I'm experimenting with flats and trainers over spd sls.

What do you do to keep your feet dry and warm when using flats?

I'm thinking shoe covers may not fit properly or get damaged on flats...

I use overshoes, work fine on flat pedals.

I used to just wear hiking boots if it was cold/wet, just as I would if walking in the same sort of conditions. Never bothered with overshoes as I only used flats on a short commute.

Yep, I had overshoes on over trainers on flats this morning. No problem and warm-ish feet with an average ride temperature of just 2°C - so all good.

Good idea
I wear trainers on the Pashley and even with decent cycling socks my feet can get a bit chilled,
plus trainers get grubby
Will give it a go

I got them a bit cheaper on promo thanks to @Donger flagging them up on the 'Found a bargain' thread. They only have them in 3XL, which apparently is for up to size 15. Well, I wear a size 11 and they fit snugly over my trainers...

I find my DMR flat pedals chew up the bottoms of overshoes .i have been thinking about sewing a bit of thin rubber onto the soles.

Ones Northern dave linked to say they have extra tread so could be good.

Altura Attack overshoes. Thick like divers boots.
Work a treat.

if you've got enough space you can wear your overshoes over the sock and inside the shoe.

To do this successfully they need to be made of fabric (vs neoprene) and be a size or two smaller.

I do this when there is a chance of ice and ride my MTB to work.

Why would you want to wear shoe covers on the turbo ?

In seriousness when I used to have flats I used overshoes with a velcro back as they fitted any shoe; they did wear out but not much faster than with clipsless.

I use cheap waterproof walking shoes / trainers I've bought from Decathlon or Sports Direct in the past

I wear overshoes over my leather lace up shoes on flat pedals with toeclips. The Aldi and Planet X ones fit fine but I bough a pair of Gore overshoes which don't fit over the size stated. They only wear out by walking on them. My left one always gets tattiest underneath because that's the foot I put down when I have to stop in traffic and at junctions. If you wear ventilated trainers, you'll still get water and wind going through.

Not sure pedaling would be a whole heap of fun in those.
Also, they look like ass candy.
