Vars DWR Oversocks
$21.15
Fits over your cycling shoes for a protective barrier to the elements when it is not freezing.
With our Vars overshoes, our goal was to create a more elegant- full Flandarian solution than the sock-over-shoe method of keeping your feet warm in early season. These premium Road shoe covers are protective of your shoes and sit neat so aerodynamic. Another line of defence in the seasoned battle for warm, stylish feet.
These are made from a stretchy, windproof yarn, and are genuinely effective at keeping the worst of the cold out, whilst still being breathable enough to keep foot perspiration to a minimum. Constructed from a technical Dryarn/Lycra mix the shed water and dry quickly should you encounter showers. The high ankle cuff is stretchy and snug, and will the worst of the road grit out too.
As we sought best-market-performance for this garment, after construction and cleat hole / hole removal, the edges are sewn andsealed with silicone to stop fraying. The garment is then sent for Teflon treatment to enhance the foul weather performance. These processes both add expense to the cost of production- but the result is worth it.
Easy on and off, yet secure. Can be stowed in the back pocket if temperatures rise.

Like all overshoes, be careful that they do not come into contact with the ground or cleat and they will last. Overshoes love cycling. All overshoes will die quickly if you walk in them. Concrete eats overshoes so be nice to them- penguin walk on your heal and cleat. Least chance of slipping and the toe area will remain free from ground contact.

size M for Gaerne Stylo G + 43, perfect fit. They cover shoes and ankle very well. Used for minimum temperature 5 maximum 10 dry climate, to be perfect a greater protection in the front part would be enough, perhaps with goretex rainproof fabric. they would be perfect if the Galibier tips and these were combined in a single product.

I’ve used these on three ride’s since getting them and they have done a great job of keeping feet warm and shoes clean. Look stylish too. I’m using them over mtb shoes so a bit fiddly to get on but not a major problem. Unfortunately I crashed in them last week at high speed after hitting pothole and left one is trashed. Will wait till spring to replace cos I need to replace all the other kit trashed. Although not relevant to this review my Galbier roubaix gloves survived in damaged despite landing heavily especially right hand
