Type in Endura overshoes road into CRC site , have a pair myself (made of neoprene) ...couldn't recommend 'em highly enough , and very reasonably priced.

There's also BBB waterflex. They'll keep the rain out for a while, but you'll eventually get soaked. Don't know if that's true for them all, but I'd imagine that with truly waterproof overshoes your feet would get wet anyway from sweat.

I find the BBB heavy duty neoprene overshoes good - they get wet eventually allowing water through but like a wetsuit your feet never get cold.

I have Pro Tarmac H20 shoes, work well, although have only used them twice so far.

Overshoes will not keep your feet dry forever, either due to sweat or water ingress. But they will keep them warm.

Overshoes in this (glorious) weather?:)

Wiggle do GoreTex ones:

They are a bit pricey, but I used their MTB equivalent last winter, and they do seem to wear well

I've just decided I'm selling mine.

I have the BBB ones and find them good. But they are tight over runners. You'd need to go up a few sizes. I had another pair dunno the make and the straps broke after a few months. They are a bit of a pain to put on. So I was thinking of moving to a set to MTB shoes or gortex runners.

Bought these ones last Jan, they're excellent. Like some others have mentioned, your feet won't stay bone dry due to sweating or water eventually getting in, but I never once got numb toes with these puppies on.

Probably because they're intended to be worn over cycling shoes, not runners.

Actually on that point I found that if your cycling shoes are size 45, it's best to get the size down in sizing for a good fit in the BBB overshoes. They're a bit too big otherwise

I got those Endura neoprene ones, but the zipper pull tag on the back snapped off. Still salvageable I reckon. They are quite heavy duty.

Wear bulky runners on my commute and these go over them no problem!

True though some are literally covers an others are like a drysuit for your feet.

People should try before they buy for fit.

+ whatever number we're at now for the Enduras

They're not waterproof, but they do keep your feet reasonably dry and toasty

I have a pair of them for sale... http://www.adverts.ie/showproduct.php?product=96678&cat=500

Do most of you have a single pair of shoes and covers for training in winter, or winter and summer (white :pac:) shoes?

Translated as:

Do you all wear your white shoes through winter, under covers?

I found them too be slightly too small for me, although the size on the label is what I normally take.

A superb set of overshoes. As RAAM said Heavy duty but we do have heavy duty weather and roads.
