VAUDEUnisex Overshoe Bike Gaiter

These are are absolutely amazing!! They actually work. I have purchased about 5 other different cycling shoe covers in the last few years and these are hands down the best . They are without a doubt the most waterproof and the only pair which have kept my feet complete dry. I live in England (which is wet) and up until covid , commuted to work every day in all weather. I also love long cycles on the weekends and these covers have kept my feet dry in the heaviest of rain. In terms of looks - they are a little bulky and probably not the most stylish, but in my opinion function is more important than form and these are 100% functional. In terms of durability, they have held up well. They have started to wear out underneath we’re I have kept the covers on my shoes and walked in them between the bike stands and the showers at my work. All footwear eventually wears out so I’d say that the wear I have experienced is consistent with their use. In terms of keeping these clean, I have even machine washed these a few times at 30c ! I like these so much and they are cost effective enough that I have bought a second pair ready for when these eventually wear out.

My first impression on unwrapping this product was that it was a bit flimsy. However on putting it to use I soon found that not to be an issue. I have had issues with another overshoe being very difficult to put on and take off, but no such problems with this one. The hook and loop tape (popularly known as "Velcro"®) snaps open and closed quickly and easily.Be mindful that to be effectively waterproof this product must be used with a suitable shoe, i.e. one with impervious sole and sides - no leaks. The overshoe prevents ingress of water from above. Not effective if used with canvas shoes, sandals or similar. Most cycling shoes should be fine. For best effect, use with over-trousers overlapping the tops. Less effective with shorts, though probably still better than nothing.Its light construction means that it folds up very compactly - easy to pack away to take on a cycling holiday. The downside is that the material under the toe is rather thin - hence the recommendation not to walk and real distance in them. It is a pity that they are not reinforced in this area.I have found them to be very effective during cycling on a wet day - they keep my feet bone dry. If however you do energetic cycling over a substantial distance, dampness from perspiration from within may be unavoidable.Altogether I am well pleased with this product.

I used these for the first time yesterday, wearing them over my trainers to ride home in the pouring rain. Hurray! Dry feet. Quite easy to put on as they open completely so you can slide your foot in right to the toe. They are 'snug' on the calf but do up well with big bits of velcro. If I was a contortionist, they would be easier to do up. Unlike other waterproofs that cover your feet, I didn't find them slippery. You can open them out to let them dry, and then fold them flat in the bottom of your bag until you need them. I have a size 4 shoe and the size I ordered (39) is good. Very pleased with these.

These may not be the most aesthetically pleasing when compared with some of the sleek fitted aerodynamic neoprene options, but they are waterproof and really work well to keep your feet dry in the rainy British weather.My commute is about 45 minutes via road and wearing these I arrive at work with mostly dry feet. If you have cleats (like my Shimano SPDs) then water sprayed up from the road *can* get into the bottom of your shoes if riding through deep road water, but that’s the same with all of the covers that I have tried.Recommended - I would definitely buy again and will probably buy a couple more as spares 👍

Does the job so far, scratch parts do not have much overlay so don't choose too small or too big of a size.

Smooth transaction. Only tried it for size so far and it’s a good fit. Looks sturdy, but I won’t walk on the bit under the shoe.

Fit over shoes but a little flimsy

Brilliant, holding up well but I take them off once I stop cycling rather than walking around in them… Great to wear with any footwear and arrive with dry feet and dry trainers!
