I use these on the road only, so that may be why I don't have problems with the bottom wearing out like other riders. Unlike so many brands, Louis Garneau seems to fit true to size. I prefer the wide velcro strip on the outside of the ankle - it doesn't chafe the crank arm and works better than a zipper when layering wool socks and tights.

Easy to get on and off. Keeps my feet warm down to about 35 degrees. Seems like it should hold up for many seasons.

I put these over my Keen biking sandals and they worked pretty well but, I only used them once and the straps across the bottom tore.

I like how easy it is to put over my cleats. I was initially concern about standing up to the all walking around I do from the commuter cage to the locker room all the way to by office desk. So far one month hasn't been too bad. I've already assumed I'll buy a new pair annually because shoe covers aren't made for that much walking.
At this price it definitely keeps you warm and dry. What else do you need?

Product is stretch fabrics with overlapped fabric reinforcement for sole openings. The sewing quickly unraveled. If you can sew, reinforce the bottoms when new and you should be able to enjoy the product. Or maybe try fabric glue. Other than the bad stitching, they work fine.

I use this pair when riding mud on the XC MTB. Feet are always dry and shoes look like new after the muddiest of rides.They do get torn up when riding the more aggressive trails, but for this price I just break out a new pair every year. I like the velcro opening over other zipper opening because I kept on breaking the zipper pulls off.

These are warm, easy to put on, and keep my feet plenty warm in weather down to the 30's.

Grabbed this on a clearance special because I needed something for cold wet days. The first few weeks were ok. Not as good as some boot covers I have used but they were warm and took the edge off.
About 2 months in they are total garbage. The under-foot straps have totally disintegrated. Useless. Spend the money, buy something substantial.

When I ride my bike to work it's two hours each way. On a day the temps were in the high 30s I had a light pair of wool socks and these booties. My feet stayed warm for the first hour and got a little cold the second hour.
These are easy to put on and take off, and they are holding up well.

Good shoe covers for the rain and cold. They are not insulated but still do the job when it's cold. The price was excellent.

I have been using Louis Garneau Neo Protect II Shoe Covvers for several (winter) seasons now. Based on the harsh weather and my milage from Nov to March, getting 1 to 1-12 seasons from these is fine. I always wait for them to go on sale so to have a 2nd set ready to go when the current pair wears out. I hate the cold, but I hate not riding more. These help make it easier to ride, knowing my toes will be warm even when its 19 degrees, cloudy and windy. They also help when it is wet out, but not on down pours.

This is the second pair Ive bought. They work great on winter rides here in Kansas. Keep my feet warm into the teens. Very easy to take on and off. The larges fit my size 13s perfectly

I just threw away a pair of booties I used for one year because the zipper failed. I won't mention the brand but it rhymes with crap-o.
Happy to find these basic booties with VELCRO. They're exactly what I wanted - nothing fancy and no zips.

Review by Jim in White Plains
Bought these in Medium to fit my Size EU42 shoes, Went right on my road shoes and provided excellent protection against the wind, rain and cold of November in NY. However, trying to fit the Medium onto my MTB shoes proved nearly impossible...I was afraid of tearing the bootie as it cleared the larger heel area. Ordered a size Large for the MTB shoes and they work without too much strain.
Plus Easy onoff (with correct size!)
Good protection from moderate weather - not extreme coldwet. I've used them to 30 degrees in comfort
Minus Hook and loop closure - these tend to get gummed up with use. If they last the season, I'll be happy
Face it, these are not the most expensive shoe covers, but they serve well. If you ride a lot, they should be good for the winter season into early spring. The price allows for annual replacement. If you ride less often, these should last you a couple of seasons unless the hook and eye closures stop functioning.
I would recommend these to anyone looking for a solid, less expensive shoe cover

These were my first pair of shoe covers and have been worn once during a 100 mile gravel race. Easy to put on with the full back zipper, fit well over my shoes with good clearance for the cleats, and kept my feet warm and happy. Temps were in the low 40's at the start but I'm confident these will be good in cooler temps, too.

I go through one pair of these every year. None of them hold up well. These are expensive well-made but still they only last a year As costly as they are they are probably the best ones I have had for cold weather.
