Wet, frozen feet are no fun at all on a ride — you’ll be scurrying home dreaming of slippers. We’ve tested nine pairs of overshoes, from full-on winter warmers to 3-Season covers

Performance-wise, these overshoes are among the best we have ever used.

We didn't get cold feet - full stop. Which would have scored them a nine.

Unfortunately, the Neoprene sole just doesn't cut it. It was showing signs of toe wear after just one ride, for which we couldn't avoid docking one point.

Assos Winter Plus overshoes

Verdict

The price — at three times the BBB — loses the Assos another couple of marks.

Your review of the Giordana bootie claims to be the Hydroshield model, but the images are the Giordana Nordic AV (which is not a waterproof, but a cool-weather/wind bootie "anti-vento") - which is it ? Thanks

well made but are too high up your leg and feel like you have bicycle clips strangling your calf, restricting your ankle movement. They don't need to be half way up your leg and cut lower would be very good overshoes. So far at 3 deg. celsius my feet were only just getting cold, where as they would be numb with the others I have. However, I don't find them comfortable and at 5-10 deg I will be wearing others. These, I would give 3.5-4 stars but I have read a lot of Net reviews and spent over £100 on overshoes, only to find 4 star overshoes. A 5-star overshoe does not seem to exist and in my experience an overshoe purchase is one of compromise, depending on whether warmth or waterproofing is your primary concern.
