Super option for making your feet relatively aero at a very reasonable price. Make sure you read the instructions for putting them on - otherwise you may try to pull them over your shoe like a sock and damage them. If you treat them right you can get multiple uses - I haven't used them during warm weather, but I am guessing them will make your feet sweat 2 or 3x more than normal.

Like a condom for your shoes, works well enough once on, but ridiculouslyhard to get over a sidi shoe. Improved with lots of baby powder, but i stopped using except for real monsoons, actively raining when i set out.

A bugger to get off without tearing but boy are they good when on
Theres a technical side to getting them on and i recommend watching a YouTube on putting them on but when on no water shall enter your feet
Further they are good TT aero booties but due to their fragilitys Id use them for races only

These work very well at keeping the water out, but they do make your feet sweat whenif it warms up. They are rubber and do not breath (think balloon stretched over your foot). On the flip side, they offer no insulation, so if it's cold, you need heavy socks to keep your feet warm.
Size chart on product page is pretty accurate, but they can be a bear to get on. Follow the instructions that come with them and I recommend you sprinkle a light coat of baby powder on the inside before you put them on to keep from sticking to your shoes. The baby powder really helps, just don't overdo it.
The biggest problem is durability. This is my third pair and they all seem to tear after about a month or so of regular use. I even tried getting an oversized pair thinking if I didn't have to stretch them so much they might last longer. That did not help.
I do love these things while they last, though. I live in Oregon and keep riding when the rains start. They are the only shoe covers I've found that actually keep the water out.
I agree with the other reviewer, they should be sold in packs of 5 pairs for the same price as the single pair and they would be worth it.

I picked these up with the hope to find some pretty waterproof shoe covers. These are really waterproof... they are made from what feels like whoopie cushion material. So they are impervious to water seeping through.
But they are hard to get on, (read the directions before you try!) but once you get it they are work fine.
For a ride where you know it is going to be raining for hours, these are good. But they are made out of rubber so on a warmish day, your feet will get warm. And on a cold day, they aren't insulated, so may not be quite warm enough for everyone. I give them a middle of road mark because they really are kind of a pain to put on, and take off. Maybe with practice it gets easier, but you need to be careful not to rip the material.

left side wore a hole after 5 miles. Partially my fault since my toes rub my cranks, but was hoping for a few weeks of riding.
Got two more holes while wrestling with putting them on.
Patched the worst one with a piece of spare latex tube.
Otherwise they definitely keep the wind and water off.

These are the best Rain shoe covers hands down. It may take a few times to learn how to put these on but you get them on, you won't be disappointed. For the price of neoprene shoe covers you can get 2 or 3 pairs of these. These work best with shoes with Boa dials. Always dust with talcum powder after each use. And if you do get a tear, which usually starts off as a pinhole, don't panic, just clean the hole area and place a glueless patch on it.

Pain in a butt to get on but after a few tries its easy as pie. I use this for Time Trials, some were wet conditions my feet stayed dry. The tight fit is great to match the rest of your kit! Plenty of colors to choose from

Hard to produce something so tight that isn't going to tear when removing it. Used it once and both ripped easily. This is what you get with thin rubber. Great idea, just poor performance.

Considering the wetness this year, I really appreciated having dry feet! It takes a moment to put on, usually BEFORE putting your shoes on, and then you're set.

Used as directed. Works good for some shoes, a little too tight for mtb. style shoes.
Review by Papaogre
These tore the second time I tried to put them on.
I tried to exchange them at the store and was told that there is no exchanges for this product.
Don't waste your time or money on these.

I bought two sets of these to try them out. Without wasting your time - they should sell these in packs of 5 and label as disposable. They will keep your feet dry and there is a technique to taking them off and on - all in all a good product but not marketed well - I would be all over these if I they sold 5 for 40. 15 bucks for a product that lasts maybe 3 to 5 rides is.......... well......disposable.

This is a follow-up for a previous review.
One of these covers tore on the third use. They will be returned.
I might try an XL over my size 44 MTB shoes but IMHO using these covers over any shoe with tread is a waste of time and money.

I have only tried these on and have yet to wear them in the elements, but they look really cool! I think they will work fine if you are caught out in a typical rainstorm or post rain with wet roads. However, I am not sure of the durability or longevity of the product - we'll see. Take your time putting them on to avoid any odd stretching or tears, as the latex seems a tad fragile.

Bought these waterproof shoe covers for a 600 mile, multi day event. Day one, a torrential rain fell and my feet and shoes were high and dry for the entire 100 miles! However, by the end of day two, the rubber waterproof shoes were in shreds (and fortunately , the rains stopped.) So yes, they kept my feet dry from rain, but they were somewhat wet due to perspiration). And they did not last more than two days which luckily, was all I needed them for.
