    Recommendations sought for cycling overshoes. Thin ones, not neoprene as I find them too warm.

    Thanks

    Its winter… go for something bright.

    I have a pair of these.. they are thin and they don't have a zip, so you slip them on and then roll them down over your shoe. they are a snug/Areo fit.

    I've have a pair of these which I find good - a bit lighter than neoprene, I tend to use them at this time of year.

    Yeah, oversocks are a great Autumn/ springtime option where it's really just about keeping filth and a bit of spray off your shoes. Feet will get wet in a deluge no matter what you wear, so the only other consideration for me is warmth, which by the sounds of OP's post isn't an issue here.

    VeloToze www.velotoze.com/en-eu

    Not for warmth at all but will keep you dry. Can be a bit fiddly to get on.

    I love the ICE ones from Ekoi but they are neoprene. Find them excellent.

    Another vote for velotoze, they have a new version that have two buttons that close across the bottom of the shoe that makes putting them on and off much easier.

    Sorry to slightly hijack, but probably better than having a half dozen threads on overshoes.

    I'm also in the market for a pair (don't mind neoprene) as my old pair are falling to bits. I did buy a pair of these last week, but they're going right back - there wasn't a hope in hell they were going to go on over my (SPD) shoes despite the size being if anything on the big side. Hadn't thought cycling gear size nonsense would extend to overshoes, but what do I know!

    Velotoez for wet weather. Block the vents in the shoes

    Clingfilm and neoprene for cold days.
