Choosing overshoes for all seasons

i use endura neoprene dec-march and on dry butcold day rapha cordura overshoes. and in the summer prendas overhoes as the are very thin and keep the shooes nice have to say i rode in the raphas today and they held up nicely whilst it was sunny but not massively warm.

enduras are on the second dartmoor winter with 6000 miles ish underneath them and they are doing well.

the raphas look amazing and fair play are a sensible price and i see many uses/washes in them easily

Thanks - I feel another modification coming on!

In the current weather I have duct tape over the vent holes on the soles, then I put my overshoes on.

FWIW, I have two pairs, one waterproof and one warm and waterproof. Wool socks aren't sufficient in the winter otherwise.

I thought its time for me to invest...however, I use road shoes with 2 pairs of socks and today went through a puddle (flooded road) on the way home and got both feet and ankles wet through...does the little hole in the bottom of the shoes get plugged closed with over shoes?

I have a pair of BBB Heavy Duty Shoe Covers which cope with -5 and very deep puddles (unless the water goes over the top!). Purchased a pair of their ArcticDuty Shoe Covers for when it got cold but can't get them over my shoes and they are the largest size they do!

It's impossible!

I have 5 different pairs...

1) Endura Equipe for dry racing.
2) Castelli Nano for wet racing.
3) Bright yellow Gore softshell ones for cold evening training.
4) Gore Goretex ones for when it's Siberic.
5) PRO H2O for when sets 3 and 4 are still wet from previous ride.

This year I got fed up and bought winter shoes. If I had to give up 4 of the above I'd hang onto the PRO H2O as they were my first and they are good and have lasted several years.

Pro Endure H2O - really really good. Still get your feed wet if without mudguards but Endura Luminate and Planet X Neoprene ones do the same. The shoes are clean though.

But the Pros are always a good fit over the shoe - sit evenly and tights. Tried with MTB and road shoes all fine.

You should be able to get them for around £25, just google around.

Just bought some Endura Road overshoes as my Altura neoprene don't keep my shoes dry. Some people have had issues with stitching/zip problems but will see how they go. Pro (now branded Shimano) NPU are among the best but do cost more.

the thick neoprene "Pro" ones are good. The only ones I've had that didn't fall apart within 2 months. Quite warm too. Neoprene isn't waterproof, but does greatly slow the speed at which water can go through, and will keep you warm even when wet. The "Pro" ones have the thickest, densest neoprene of the 3 sets I've tried.

Can't go wrong with a pair of MuddyFox from Sports Direct, someone sent me a pair, still no idea who. But brilliant pair never the less.

Think they were around £12

I've got the dhb wind proofs which are pretty good. The neoprene a are too warm and the waterproof ones always let in water and don't seem to last that long.
