Fed of being wet and these are on sale.

Has anyone had experience with these and are they worth getting?

thanks

    Your feet will still get wet with overshoes as the water comes up through the cleat hole. Can't comment on this particular brand though.

    On long rides I don't find overshoes help much, eventually the water seeps in round the ankle and through the cleat hole. For shorter rides they're not bad though

    More for keeping feet (relatively) warm IMHO. Vital this July. :roll: :roll:

    and protecting / prolonging the life of your shoes. Waterproof socks for keeping feet dry.

    Grrrrr, what's the point, I was hoping for dry feet.

    Will try and get some wool, poly socks and hopefully they will work

    "Sealskins" socks if you want dry feet.

    Even then it still goes in through the tops :p Basically don't worry about keeping your feet dry, just keep them warm (merino socks & overshoes are a good combo).

    Hi. I use these bike shoe covers and they are fantastic. Rain will still enter through the top as it runs down your leg, but overall the Outwet overshoe covers work better than most I've used- and I've used quite a few.
    Hope this helps.
