I bought a pair of these recently and whilst they do a great job of keeping the water out, they are incredibly tight and difficult to get on. Anyone else find this...are they supposed to be that tight? I appreciate they are elasticated but they are seriously tight..

I have the large size to fit size 8 to 10 and I'm an 8.5.
I guess Mavic's sizes are a bit out of wack.

Not got the Mavic ones but got some Pro overshoes a a couple of months ago. Getting them on is pretty tricky and is like doing a warm up before you get on the bike!! I find the problem is that the inside of the overshoe gets stuck on the velcro of the straps, but because they are a snug fit it is hard to see where they are stuck.0

I guess it must just be that those style of covers are tight.
I have an Endura pair I usually wear but they are so waterproof, but they're a damn site easier to put on..;-)0 -

Yes i got a pair of these in XL for size 10 and ended up tearing the zip off on one boot so had to get them replaced. Takes about 10 minutes to get them on it would have been better if the zip went right down.0 -
