hey guy's the cold times 'a comin so i figured i'd start to get my kit together for it, i just got myself some specialized elite road shoes and figured that the holes in the bottom arent going to be great in the winter, what oversocks are worth a look?
preferably white and quite tight, (purely for aesthetics)

    Prendas are cheap as chips and great quality. I have 4 pairs (in various colours, what a tart)

    The best oversocks are Defeet slipsteams

    If you are talking about overshoes, something like the Pro Tarmac H2Os are good.

    They do come in white.

    I've tried loads of oversocks, the Sidi and Castelli ones were just far far too thin and would rip far too easily, wheres the fabric on the Defeet slipstreams is thicker and more robust.

    TBH if I was you, I'd get some decent stuff rather what I can get cheap.
