I need to get some replacement overshoes for my Spesh shoes, sized 48. The previous overshoes (Altura Etape) were always a very tight fit, even at extra-large. Can anyone suggest a make likely to be a bit more forgiving on size? Thanks.

    I like neoprene.
    How about DHB. XXL should be roomy enough and the zip is fantastic.

    Planet-X for £10?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    BBB Hardwear, excellent overshoes. Might be worth hanging on a few weeks and then snapping up an end of season bargain...spring is just around the corner.

    PRO NPU Tarmac are really good, I've used a pair for a couple of years now and they're only just beginning to show any signs of wear (only slight scuffing on the inside of the drive side ankle).

    Shall probably look at the Prendas Air Tunnel next, as they seem to get good reviews.

    Planet X for me too. They're lasting much better than my more expensive ones.

    Another vote for the Planet X. Got me through the winter and great for a tenner!

    Another vote for P-X - I wear Specialized road shoes in a 47 and the overshoes fit fine.

    +1 same sized shoes/brand but the MTB version, and no problems at all with the PX overshoes

    I do have some of the planet-x overshoes, but they have to be the most unstylish stitched together neoprene you'll ever see. Perfect for the cross or MTB.

    Update. I went for the BBB Hardwear overshoes. Excellent quality and they kept my feet warm. The dry test is yet to come. :)
