Cycling Shoe Covers
While cycling shoes are well ventilated, it is vital to keep your feet comfortable and safe from the elements when the weather is less clement. The overshoes do just that.
These waterproof or water-resistant shoe covers made of stretchy fabrics are essential to keep your feet warm and dry on cold, rainy and windy days. Cycling shoe covers are a small, lightweight and effective way to ensure comfortable cold-weather cycling.
Cycling overshoes are also ideal for commuters. With these bike overshoes, you'll never get wet feet coming into the office and add extra safety to your commute. Neoprene, softshell or stretchy waterproof cycling overshoes have high-reflective designs that help you be seen in dark conditions.
Cycling shoe covers are designed to fit snuggly over clip-on cycling shoes with holes for your cleat and heels. However, they can also be used as cycling overshoes for flat pedals. Easy to take on and off, overshoes are built with a rear opening to seal them.
There are two main types of cycling overshoes:
Waterproof Overshoes
These overshoes made of breathable, windproof and waterproof fabrics keep your feet protected from the elements. Ideal for winter days, their coverage varies depending on their shape and fit.
Windproof Overshoes
Made of neoprene or softshell fabrics, windproof shoe covers will give you mild to reasonable protection against rain and wind.
Neoprene overshoes have insulation and thermal properties when wet and, like a wetsuit, will keep your feet warm even when damp.
Softshell overshoes are an ideal in-between for Spring to Autumn cycling as they are not as warm as the neoprene or waterproof ones.
