Finally found covers to replace my ratty ones. Had a hard time finding ones that fit my shoes. These work for pretty low temps. Had a mild winter so didnt get to try in sub freezing temps.
Not sure if I love the Velcro closures as opposed to the Zippers my old covers had. Seems it is impossible to get a right closure around the shoe. However, the Velcro seems heavy duty enough. Used the covers this past winter (albeit a mild one around here) they appeared to do the job & appear to have lasted for at least another season.
I bought these because my old wrap around covers were in shreds. I wasn't sure if I would like them but they worked out great. They are easy to get on and keep my feet warm but not sweaty.
This is an updated version of the Neo Protect shoe cover.
I use it for winter rides to work.
It feels a lot better than the last version I got.
So far so good as staying together this season.
I have a pair of Pearl Izumi shoe covers that have definitely seen better days. I bought these as a backup, but ended up using them on a cold rainy day. They do the job of keeping my shoes (and feet) warm and dry.
Easy on and off. I wear size 13 and they fit perfectly. Comfortable to around 30 degrees.
I suffered through a couple of cold morning rides before buying these. Easy to put on and they keep your feet toasty. Ive only ridden in 38F - 48F with these, so Im not sure how they will do at lower temps
Velcro closure at the heal should be a zipper. Ankle opening does not secure to the lower leg so you loose heat.
These have served me well for about 700 miles this winter. Only one small tear from pulling them on too hard in a hurry. Definitely worth the price. Kept me comfortable down to 19. If they closed with a zipper instead of Velcro, I would add a star.
I bundled up last week for a long ride in the warm Connecticut weather. Yes it was warm in CT in January 60 degrees in fact. Knowing the cold sneaks up here quickly, I set out in Gore-Tex, Mavic Thermals & my new shoe covers. Although it was warm, it was quite windy with bright skies & patches of cloudy rain. Nothing bothered me, I comfortably hammered out mile after mile with the perfect body temp. By the time I turned around to come home the 60 degree weather was GONE, as the temp quickly dropped I enjoyed the added layer on my feet which are usually freezing by the end of a Winter ride. So far so good I really like the Louis Garneau Shoe Covers.
Good basic bootie. Like the generous openings on the bottoms so your cleats do not snag .
I bought these in the beginning of November and they are falling apart after two months. The stitches on the seams are ripping apart. I don't I would buy them again.
The only good things about these covers are that they are pretty warm and also fairly comfortable. They're not quite waterproof but more or less are acting like a wet suite keeping your feet warm.
I tried them in the mid to upper 40s. My feet were comfortable. For mountain bike shoes, get a larger size. I had to use an older pair of shoes which are slightly smaller on the outside than my newer, usual shoes. However, great value and I love the Velcro closure, rather than a zipper.
For the price, these definitely keep my feet toasty. Beware the seams near the bottom of the velcro though, they will probably start ripping shortly after purchase just through getting them on and off.
Is all I need to say about theses covers
Well made, prefer zipper closure in the rear over side Velcro.
Keeps the feet warm and dry
These are good down to about 35F for rides more than an hour. Lower than that and I have to wear my Wolfhammers. Feet and hands are always the challenge in winter riding conditions and these work well in the temp range. The side velcro is a bit harder to get on but stays in place until you take them off, so design-wise a good call.
Easy on and off. Toasty warm for those days when 2 pairs of socks aren't enough.... good for rides below 32 degrees. Have not used them in the rain so don't know if you'll stay dry.
I use these on very cold days, rainy days. Keep feet dry and warm! Easy to put on and to take off.stacey
