About this deal

If you're really mile munching during the cold months, look for something that extends as high up your leg as possible for extra warmth and the most tech you can afford. If you're riding a bit less outdoors and maybe just doing winter race series or fast club rides, a thinner option such as the Velotoze will probably cover it. If you're doing any sort of cycling in colder winter temperatures and conditions a pair of cycling overshoes are worth investing in. Anything over around an hour on the bike in the cold and wet and there's a fair chance you will have soaking and cold feet. Yes, you can tough this out and ride for hours but we can promise it won't be comfortable and you'll be using energy trying to stay warm that could be used elsewhere. We've ridden for hours in winter with frozen feet and it's miserable. A pair of overshoes will protect your feet and keep them warmer and if water eventually does work its way in, you will be 'wet but warm' instead of frozen to the bone. Our advice is to invest in a budget set of neoprene overshoes, put some time in with them on the bike and get an idea of what you like, and what you don't. Should I get overshoes or toe covers? Just as you may not need full winter boots, full shoe covers might be too warm. Toe covers, as the name suggests, only cover the toe box of your shoe, ending just past the cleat, which helps to hold it in place.They tend to be fairly cheap but for the usually reasonable price can fill a useful gap in your wardrobe for spring and autumn cool conditions. All things considered we like the BBB Arctic Duty overshoes, though there is still work to be done to make them perfect. They offer a high degree of protection from the worst of the winter that most other overshoes struggle to get near to.

Putting on a pair of Pro 2s does feel like you are ready to go to war in the sense that you feel protected from the elements. Once you've done it a few times, the overshoes are on in minutes and putting them on certainly isn't a battle. I've ridden for over three hours in them in sleet, snow and sub-zero conditions and they performed brilliantly with my lower legs and feet staying warm.Visually the Fiandre looks good, with two reflective Sportful logos and a prominent red band across the left overshoe which matches the Fiandre bib tights well if you want to coordinate. the Fiandres cut a stylish figure when worn, I would like to see a slightly tighter fit overall as there is some wrinkling, but this is partly due to the nature of the Infinium fabric. The Pro 2 is the range-topping overshoe from Spatz and stands out from others by its height. The overshoe extends up to around the top of your calf to prevent as much water from getting in from above and keep your lower legs warm too. Into the third hour of one ride, the rider whose wheel I was on had a poor mudguard flap which just flung water at my feet and left leg constantly and I could feel water breach my left Pro II after a while, but my foot stayed warm thanks to the neoprene construction. The Spatz are not totally waterproof but if water does breach them you will stand a good chance of keeping your feet warm. Once the cold sets in and your feet start to go numb you are going to have an uncomfortable time whilst riding. If you're doing a decent amount of winter cycling investing in some cycling overshoes is definitely worth it and will help you stay a lot more comfortable on the bike. Overshoes will add an extra layer of insulation against the freezing wind and will also prevent rain and water from entering which will also slowly freeze your feet. And, if you’re keeping it indoors, here’s everything you need to know about indoor cycling, training apps and the best smart trainers.

If you want to invest in some seriously warm, stylish overshoes for the coldest days the Estremo will fit the bill nicely. Sometimes, kit makers will use a less bulky fabric for the uppers, one that’s typically DWR (durable water repellent) coated to repel water, and includes a breathable membrane. It’s an alternative to neoprene that’s lighter and less stiff, but it can lose its water-resistance over time and, unless additional insulation is added, may not be as warm in cold weather.

The Assos GT Ultraz winter overshoes are a premium, sleek and stylish offering that are relatively thin compared to some neoprene offerings. If you riding or racing hard in foul conditions the Velotoze are cheap and can be really useful to improve aerodynamics or keep spray water at bay. The majority of cycling overshoes are worn over your cycling shoes, most pull on after you have put your shoes on. Some go on before your shoes but most are on in seconds and are easy to get on with a bit of practice. All-weather overshoes tend to follow the same basic pattern; there’s a high ankle cuff to try to prevent rain from running down your leg and into your shoe, and a bootie-style lower section that covers your shoe. That typically has a central seam on top, which is taped to keep out wheel spray. Other seams will usually be taped too. We say 'complete waterproofing', but it's worth remembering that there are still holes at the top, cleat, and heel, so like any of the options here, water can find its way in during the worst of the downpours. Also, be aware that breathability is reduced, so you might find your feet damp from sweat too.
