Non Bike Specific Kit

I think they might be better than the over boots my wife uses, bit better fit & easier to walk a few yards in them if necessary, plus take up less room when not being worn!
King Orry, do you know how they work out size wise? The good lady is size 5/6 in shoe/boot  I was thinking a medium???

My wife wears a size 6 shoe, (she prefers wearing ‘normal’ leather ankle boots when on the bike). I bought the over-boots to cover my cycle shoes which are a 10, but they fit over her boots really well.
I guess that’s the beauty of neoprene.
I’ll check if they have a size on them somewhere, (though it won’t be for a few days).
They did a great job of keeping her toes warm & dry, and as you say, are a doddle to slip on, are okay for walking in, and so discreet (in black anyhow) that they’re barely noticeable.

Had a look at my cycle overshoes today, they are size L, and from PlanetX.
They are a tad big length wise, so I guess M would be a better fit, but they ain’t bad (and anyhow, they’re only kept on while on the move, she’d not be seen dead walking about with em on!)
The rear Velcro fastening does make them easy to slip on/off, and I also pushed them over the heels of the wife’s boots.. see pics

P.S. I pulled the toe part to make it look as bad as poss, they don’t naturally sit so baggy on the front.
She’s just commented they’d keep her toes warm even when up on top of the snow covered high passes in the Alps last year. ????

German Army Para Boots.

I've been wearing many pairs of these for the last 30 years on the bike.  They've never let water in.  I've never paid more than 3 quid for a pair.

@ King Orry, thanks for that. Think I'll get some for her. Off to the French Alps this year (hopefully) so could be useful!!
