Looking for decent overshoes..

Looking to buy overshoes for my Diadora shoes, size 47. Can anyone recommend something decent that I could purchase before Sat? I don't need them to be water proof just warm ðŸ˜

I've used BBB and Altura, and I much prefered BBB ones.

Wiggle/CRC should just about get them here by Friday/Saturday if you order them now. Most bricks and mortar shops do carry BBB merchandise though.

I have two pairs of BBB, both waterflex and the heavier neoprene ones which are super warm tbf, will buy again when needed, most bike shops stock them also.

This question gets asked a ridiculous amount of times.

Search function?

Anyhow - Rapha overshoes are IMHO the best there is. Nothing I have tried comes close.
Yes they are expensive but:
1. The work exceedingly well at keeping my tootsies snug,
2. They endure. My oldest pair is three years old and in spite of significant usage are still in excellent condition.
Rapha make very poor jerseys but they make unrivalled accessories and of those the overshoes are the vert best, followed by socks, armwarmers and caps.

Anybody recommended a decent pair with reflective stripes? Best I've seen is the Altura Night Vision, not sure how they perform in cold/wet.

I had this pair and they weren't great at all. I've seen they changed the design pretty drastically in the last year or so, look a lot more like the BBB ones.

normal overshoes or "deep winter overshoes"

I have Castelli neoprene overshoes. Much like everything Castelli make, they're superb. Cheaper than Assos or Rapha while maintaining class.

I also use the BBB waterflex, and find them great. Only issue is with big feet, there's some contact between the overshoe and crank arm, which leads to well polished cranks and holes on the inside of the overshoe.

Anyone use the Gailbier Aqua something over shoe.
Have great pair if Gore Tex which are great when temps plummet but the galibier look great for the rain

I have a couple of Rapha garments and I have to say they are super except for their overshoes.I had to send mine back after about 10 wears.They repaired them and now after 3 wears they are starting to fall apart again.For the price of them I was expecting far better.
