VelotozeTall Waterproof Shoe Cover(Return to Product Page)

If you watch the video from Velotoze, you get an accurate idea of what they're like. They're essentially a swim cap for your shoes. You do have to budget a little extra time to put them on. Breathability is as expected - zero - so keep that in mind if riding in warmer temps. Durability is also as expected - not great. My left foot rubbed my crank on the first ride and put a hole in them... lame. Good news is they are cheap and they are indeed waterproof, both from outside in and inside out. If you plan to pocket them for a questionable weather outing, keep in mind you will have to take your shoes off to put them on. Size chart was accurate for my 45.5 Shimano R321 - Large. They are not LHRH specific.

It's hard to find a truly waterproof bootie and these will do the job. Durability is certainly a concern but for the price you can't go wrong. A higher end bootie would also have its own durability issues.

If used and put on correctly, the cover does the job of protecting my shoes and feet from rain and cold. Versus other brands which eventually stop working after so many uses, or don't work at all for an expensive price.

Purchased these for a 300 mile brevet at the end of December. Water finds a way through nearly everything but Velotoze. Only on all day 5 hour rides is water going to be an issue. These are great for 2-4 hour rides. They don't breath so be aware of that as it could cause users to sweat much more, even in the cold. The only negative is they are fragile and you must use care when putting on and taking off, be sure to follow the instructions.

I was a careful as I could be putting these on and removing them but they tore on the third use.

Pulling them on over a lugged MTB shoe sole is very difficult.

Not covered by any satisfaction guarantee so into the garbage they went.

Kind of thin, but they're supposed to be. Might break easily, I guess that's the nature of the latex. They look cool and they're not that expensive, as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Recommended for road shoes and not mtb shoes.

Don't waste your money these are the hardest to get on.

If correctly worn, these will keep all water out of your shoes. They're pretty simple to put on, but taking them off again is another story and can double up as your daily core workout. Just go slow so you don't snag the latex on any shoe or cleat parts.

These are a chore to put on but once you get get them there they keep your feet dry. I haven't had any durability problems so far. Taking them off is also not easy. I recommend you peel them off along with your sock.

One of them ripped, what else can I say.

I live in the PNW, where it has been really wet and cold this winter. I really liked this product on my first ride. It kept my shoes and feet mostly dry and better than most other booties I have owned. Unfortunately, when I took them off, I noticed a few small holes near the toes where it goes under the sole. I realize now that you can't walk with them on or you will damage the cover that goes beneath the shoe. Definitely not for mountain or cross. It may be better for pure road. I have worn mine 3 times, one MTB, one cross and one road ride and they are pretty much done. Too bad, I though I had finally found a bootie that kept the water out.

For those truly rainy days.

The Velotoze keep your feet relatively warm and dry. Your feet may get a little sweaty but that should be expected.

If youre careful when taking them on and off (follow directions) they will last several rides.

Used once. Put a finger through one trying to get them on. Once on, couldn't click one cleat into pedal. Had to get off bike and stretch material out of the way. Once under way, didn't do much to keep my feet warm. The one with the hole tore apart when trying to remove. Tossed in garbage and bought cover that zip up.

Wasted time, money and had cold toes. Don't buy.

I followed the instructions putting these on and it took noticeably longer than knit covers but wasn't difficult. These were perfect for this morning's rain although there was an annoying squeak when they would rub the cadence sensor on my crankarm. When taking off the left cover, the bottom split near the cleat hole. I'm going to try and patchreinforce it using an old swim cap, but I'm disappointed in this. This material has a tendency to stick to itself, especially when damp, so maybe that's what happened. If patching works, I think I'll rub some kind of lubricant (Body Glide probably) all over them to minimize the cadence sensor squeak and help avoid sticking.

Size-wise, I ordered the large and it fit my size 45 Bontrager XXX road shoes great.

I wear size 49 euro and it's a very tight fit. Tore mine on the first time but patched it up with a tire repair kit. I don't anticipate them working for more than a couple times. Appear aero and waterproof. My opinion is that they were designed for smaller shoe size

Tore on my first time trial

These are more durable that you would think but still pretty fragile. I would NOT recommend these for mountain bike shoes as putting them on over the lugs on the soles is difficult at best and can over stretch the rubber.

They really do the job though. My feet stay dry during a very wet commute. Sweat may be an issue on warmer days. I would not wear them above 60-65 F.

Pay attention to the sizing chart and when in doubt, go larger.

They definitely keep your feet dry. I was hoping for something a little more convienient for commuting. They are a bit of a pain to put on and take off. Also they don't seem very durable and can tear easily. They are kind of like putting a rubber glove over your shoes. Also the top part of your ankle will sweat so much you're going to get a little damp one way or another. Not really a fan of these.

These worked amazingly until they just shredded. These cant be worn with any buckles. They will tear. Even boa systems will tear them. I used them with lace ups and still they tore. But oh those first few times I used them pure dry feet bliss.
