anyone recommend any waterproof overshoes ive just got rid of mine because the rear zip came apart and they were hard to get on im a size 44 but i ordered a size 45/46 the stitching also came apart in places and ive only had them one winter, i really liked the look of them though, maybe i should of put them on legs first then over the shoes instead of shoes on then overshoes over them. they were bbb waterflex overshoes

    I also have BBB Waterflex in a size 47/48 and they fit nicely over my size 50 Lake shoes. My other (some would say better) half got them for me last Xmas off the 'Bay and I note that there are some being sold there right now in that size (not by me I hasten to add). I fit them by putting my foot through and up my leg first, fasten the zip and then stretch the front over the toes, that way there isn't any unnecessary strain on the zip whilst fastening them. Nearly 12 months old now and still like new.

    Wiggle do their own brand (DHB) waterproof overshoes which I have found to be very good for the price 17.99

    I bought a pair of Endura ones a couple of weeks ago and so far they have been great in the wet. Bit damp around the top but nothing has yet made it into the shoe.

    I've just bought a pair of Pro NTU+ overshoes, after reading advice on another thread here.
    Not used in the rain, as yet, ut they certainly look like they'll last well. :wink:

    IMHO these are crap. I had a pair which disintergrated and they were sent back only for their replacements to repeat the trick. £2 more gets you the Endura ones which are infinately better.
