Cycling overshoes over trainers?

I use my gym trainers with my hybrid and they work great with the Wellgo MG1 pedals. As the weather cools down my feet are going to get cold. I have Merino socks which will help a bit and a pair of cycling overshoes. Can these be worn over trainers?

Yes. However, on flats, they will get torn to bits fairly quickly.0

Depends on the type,mane to some extent the pedals, I have some BBB open soles ones which are fine with trainers, I used for committing on the Brompton a fair bit, those with just a small hole for the cleat end up with a much bigger hole.....Yes.

I've got the BBB heavy duty ones but I haven't worn them yet. I got them in a sale for a very low price so I'll give them a go as it won't matter too much if they perish. I only need them to last a few rides over winter on very cold days.0

Have you tried food bags over your sox. Works well at keeping the wind and rain off your feet. I've been doing on winter MTBs for years.0

Exactly what i do, works very well on or off road.0 -
Not tried that yet, but an interesting idea!0

Food bags over your socks still means your shoes get wet. Personally I can't see the point.0

I have some toe covers that go right around the heal of shoe (trainer) so base of shoe is completely clear, yet keeps shoe pretty dry.
They are Campagnolo ones. Look a bit odd, but work v well.0 -

But your feet don't get wet. I've been using plastic bags over my socks when out in the snow for years and it works a treat. Your shoes will get wet under overshoes as well - they don't keep things dry, just warm0 -
You may have to go up a couple of sizes in overshoes depending on the style of trainer.0
