Overshoes - Guide?

Papa Smurf

Any chance of some sort of guide to overshoes? Decent brands, does price reflect quality and are budget ones likely to wear out very quickly etc etc

And most importantly, some kind of size chart??

Surely I cant be the only 1 confused about sizing and quality n all that jazz

V hard to sort by mail order - its not only your shoe size that varies - but the shape of your shoes. So best to try in the shop - and any shoe will wear out if you walk in them. If you dont - they should last a long time.

I use Endura MT500's (neoprene ones) on the MTB and for now at least just Lusso max repel ones (much thinner material) on the road, will switch to neoprene when it gets really cold though. On an MTB I don't so much point in using anything other than neoprene ones as they should take a bit more abuse and give better mud protection. I wouldn't bank on them lasting more than a year though.

I purchased the MT500 Endura's, worked well, but zip at rear broke after about a dozen or so uses.

Keeps water back OK though, but if the conditions are really bad, then would use waterproof socks as well.

I'm still awaiting warranty replacements from CRC........Extra Large for a size 10 foot if that helps?

Yep, it's the Endura's I've got my eye on, they look pretty damn good.
That average size certainly does help Billy, thanks!

I was just wondering that with the lights and what bikes sticky threads it may be an idea if someone in the know put some sort of rough guide up about overshoes.. With a dismal looking winter ahead I'm sure many people will be investing..
