Overshoes are essential for winter riding as they protect both your feet and your expensive cycling shoes from the winter weather. Why spend a couple of hundred pounds on a pair of cycling shoes to allow winter weather to spoil them when a good pair of overshoes solver the problem. They can be made from a variety of materials such as Lycra, Neoprene, Windtex or GoreTex with each having different properties to suit the weather you’re riding in. Windtex and Neoprene materials are ideal for cold dry days or for keeping your foot warm but not dry, whereas Goretex and other waterproof materials will help reduce the amount of water reaching your skin.
It may be essential to have a pair of overshoes during the winter, but it isn’t essential for you to overpay – compare prices below for cheaper prices.
