Any thoughts on the warmest and most durable winter overshoes? I have tried so many and either find they fall apart / rip or just aren't warm enough?

Thanks

    In my experience you need to buy a new pair every winter; whatever the brand. That being the case, I go with DhB from wiggle

    DHB neoprene ones are v good. Massive bombproof YKK zip on the ones I got.

    Would highly recommend getting some waterproof socks too.
    As they are also windproof you can either use in conjunction with the overshoes, or just on there own if its dry but cold.

    Make sure you have something to stop water running into top of sock if you do use in the rain though :wink:

    I've just bought a pair of these too. Seem quite toasty but nowhere near cold enough to try them out on the roads yet. They're not discreet, that's for sure.

    I've got a pair of cheap and cheerful Planet X neoprene ones which do up at the back with velcro, so you can get a nice snug fit but there's no zip to break or jam. I don't commute but still do a lot of riding through the winter, and they are 3 or 4 years old and still basically fine. They are very warm and keep my feet clean and dry when I'm on the wet weather bike with Chromoplastic guards. They are not waterproof though; a torrential downpour would probably make it through.
