Cycling Cycling overshoes

What are cycling shoe covers?

As it gets colder, regular cycling shoes may not provide enough protection for the feet against cold and rain. That's why special cycling shoe covers have been developed. These keep out wind and rain, keeping your feet warm and dry. In addition, shoe covers also serve another purpose, as they also provide more aerodynamics, which is especially important for professional cyclists. This means that shoe covers ensure that your feet are more streamlined, reducing resistance and allowing you to achieve higher speeds. Shoe covers are actually suitable to wear throughout the entire year.

What material should cycling shoe covers be made of?

It is important that the shoe covers are made of water-repellent, windproof, and breathable material, often a combination of rubber and polyamide. Most shoe covers have a (rubber) Velcro closure at the bottom and a zipper closure at the back. If you plan to cycle in the dark, it is useful to check if the shoe covers also have reflective details.

Tip

Make sure the shoe covers fit snugly around your cycling shoes. Sliding shoe covers are not comfortable. Do you have any questions about shoe covers? Feel free to ask our customer service!
