Over socks

bugsrabbit

Looking forward to spring, do over socks cover the gap between overshoes and summer riding or am i just looking for an excuse to buy something else i can get told off for buying!!

Go for it.

I'm always getting told off so I don't see why you shouldn't

Personally, I can see no point in the oversocks, they just seem to be a nightmare if they got wet and dirty!!
I use Pro Tarmac NPU+ (3mm neoprene) most of the time and have just bought a pair of Pro H2O, as they're much lighter, for the transition period. They're still waterproof though...

Oh, and they're very white! Very, very white.

Oversocks are ok for warmth but I mainly use them for keeping my 'white' shoes clean when it's decent weather but the roads are damp.

have you thought about getting some sealskinz and cutting a hole or your cleats. works like a dream and is fully waterproof. got my wife to sew round the cleat hole to reinforce.

I use oversocks all year, because it's easier to clean the socks than the shoes.

Yea but then no-one can see my shiny white shoes glisten in the sun (when/if it arrives)

Oversocks rock. I always feel much quicker in oversocks than in overshoes when it's that in between kind of temperature.

Sold! I was looking at the assos, but the White look like you have your foot in plaster!
