If you are a casual rider that rides to work in street clothes, these are for you. They fit over regular shoes easily. They are easy to put on and take off and keep you shoes (and socks) dry. The soles are non slip and seam to hold up quite well. Put a pair of rain pants and a waterproof jacket on and your all set for spring fall rides.

I have not used them yet as the weather has not warranted it yet. I found them easy to cut out for SPD pedals. I have had them on and they appear to fit great and I expect they will do the job. I have a Showers Pass jacket whood and am very pleased with their products. Best there is.

I have not used them yet, the weather is such that I'm still using heavy neoprene booties. However, as about the only covers I have found that are actually big enough to go over size 46 cycling shoes, I'm already giving them 5 stars.
The only other covers I have found that are big enough are the old neoprene covers that I got from Performance a few years ago. However, those are discontinued so when they wear out, these Showers Pass covers will be the only game in town.

First thing is that these run small to fit street shoes. If you think you might need a medium order a large and so forth. I have a size 11 street shoe (running shoe) and the size recommended based on the chart was too small. I had to return and get the larger size. Boots work well and go on quickly so they do what you need them to do. I only ride a short distance with them tofrom work so I can't say they they breathe well but I suspect that they would not on a longer ride.

For cool morning rides as wind protection and for rainy days. They are a bit floppy. I'd like them to be tighter (I have the smallest size) but they are light and I can put them in my jersey pocket when I don't need them

These are amazing and a must-have: simplistic design, easy to get in/out of, and works to keep everythign dry even i na deluge. The bottom has a grip material that works very well, so no worries about traction or tearing the material when you go to put your food down - honestly you could probably wade out into a lake with these and not get wet so long as the water line stays below the cuff. My only regret is not buying these any sooner - support a local company and enjoy your must-have/go to piece of gear for any Portland rider!

As a year-round cyclist in the Pacific Northwest, I have often lamented that there wasn't a shoe covering that could withstand the elements of the Pacific Northwest. Often, they are built for wind protection, but not rain or snow.
Since Showers Pass is a Portland based company, they understand rain and a cyclist's needs in rain. The only critique I have is that you have to cut your own hole in the bottom if you wear cleats.

Great piece of kit, works flawlessly. Order a size up if using hiking boots! Easy fit in seat-bag.

This is my second pair of these, the first having lasted 2 years. Eventually, the fact that they are thin and light made them give way and I blew through the side. At the price point, to get something that actually work in the Pacific Northwest downpours, it was well worth the money.

Poor design, there needs to be elastic or something to keep them secured on your heel. They just fall down and bunch up.

These are pretty good shoe covers that are easy to put on and take off. I ride with toe clips rather than cleats, so it is nice to have a solid sole without holes for the cleats. They were the only ones I could find that had a size large enough for my big feet and the sizing recommendations were accurate. They leak slightly at the top seam at the toe, but not enough to be an issue. I would recommend them to anyone who frequently rides in wet weather and isn't worried about aerodynamics or looking cool. They would really be a good choice for a cycle commuter like me.

The XL fit snugly on my size 13 shoe (XL 13 advertised to fit size 14.5 - 16)-seams on both covers separated by the second ride - not a very durable product and I would not recommend for anyone using pedal clips as the instructions are to cut a hole in the sole with a pair of scissors for clip access.

Light weight and easy to put on, but still keep the feet dry
