These overshoes are the best I’ve found at keeping the water out during really wet days. The overshoes seal really well on the calf where all other overshoes I’ve tried seem to leak. The downside is you’re feet sweat on warm wet days but that said it’s not as bad as rain soaked feet. I also found the shoes to be easy to get on but you do need to watch the VeloToze video on ‘how too’. Not sure how durable they will be, but at least they’re fairly cheap as bike kit goes.
Product Details
VeloToze Tall Shoe Covers 2.0
VeloToze' Tall Shoe Covers provide you with all the performance and protection of the 1.0s but have undergone a redesign to be more durable and practical. The smooth material is flexible for a tight and aerodynamic yet unrestrictive fit and has a new inner coating that means the covers will dry faster. The cuff forms a seal against the calf for an additional barrier against the elements, and there are no zips or velcro closures that could compromise the protection. Folding down small, these overshoes can easily be stored in a jersey pocket or saddle bag when not in use.
Instructions
1: Put on sock
2: Pull shoe cover/overshoe on over the sock
3: Put foot through large cleat hole, and pull shoe cover-up around the ankle
4: Put on your road bike shoe
5: Pull shoe cover down over heel of shoe FIRST, then over toes
6: Adjust around ankle, cleats and heel pad. Ensure no part of shoe covers/overshoe is over cleats or heel pad
Note: Pull top of shoe cover over sock or under leg warmers. The top of the shoe cover needs to be against your skin or water may enter the shoe cover. Warning: Shoe cover may tear if you do not FIRST put on shoe cover, then shoe.
Care Instructions
- Wipe with a cool, wet cloth, do not put into the washing machine
- To dry, hang shoe covers/overshoes over a hanger or ledge or wipe with a dry cloth. The material does not absorb water, so they should dry quickly. Do not put shoe covers/overshoes in a clothes dryer

Reviews
These 2.0 versions are much more durable than the originals which tore easily. You still need to be delicate with them. They need to be cleaned and stored carefully. I recommend talc after cleaning to absorb moisture and preserve the latex. They have lasted 5 uses easily. May get another 5-10 before they degrade completely. However, these are consumable, just like tyres and will only last a season.
