VAUDE Bike Short Gaiter

I got these to keep in my backpack while cycling in case of rain and am very satisfied with the purchase. These have a strap on the bottom that keeps them from working loose while pedaling and velcro straps in the back and over the top of the shoe for adjustment. I wear size 11 mens shoes and had no problem slipping these over my shoes. They have plenty of room to accomodate larger shoe sizes. The reflective material is nice and the material is fairly thick and tough as well. No worries about a "paper thin" rain protection product that will tear easily as far as this item goes. These are made to last. If you're looking for something to carry with you to keep your feet dry in case of a downpour while riding, then grab a pair of these. DISCLAIMER: I wear tennis shoes while riding and do not wear cycling shoes, so I can't speak to how well these work with a pair of cycling shoes. I'm not sure if the strap on the bottom would interfere with cleats or not.

I bought these to complete my raingear, but I'm finding they're best at keeping my feet warm. I'd tried shopping bags, foil, double socks, wool socks, waterproof socks - I did not microwave my shoes. I wore these over my regular shoes one night for their reflective material and my feet have never been so warm on a cold day. I have not had them out in a steady rain yet. I'm sure they'll work fine, but I'll update if anything changes.

This shoe cover works pretty well. It isn't fancy or overly expensive and does the job.

Not the most durable if you start walking around with it too much, but it is easy to take on and off, protects from rain and wind, adds warmth to winter cycling.

cheaper than any comparable options i found in the portland area. so far, no leaks. easy on and off. cheers

Used for commuting to work, wearing over a variety of street shoes. Size 47-49 XL fits over my US 11.5 jogging shoe, also fit over my clunky steel toe US 11 tennis shoe! I like the fit and cut, bright color and reflective great on rainy days. Could use more of the soft fuzzy side of velcro attachment in back to provide more continuous seal. It is not continuous, so there are gaps (see photo) which could let water in the back. Initially, I give these a good rating, 4 or 5 stars. But for longevity I downgrade to 3 star. After 3 years of ownership, used maybe 5-10 times, the interior plastic waterproof coating has fully peeled off (see picture). My last trip was a fiasco, as shoes were soaked and full of water when I arrived at destination. I ride with toe clips, straps extremely loose. First ride with these gaiters the small section under toe area got caught on pedal when I tried to pull foot out. Now I pull out one foot well before coming to stop to avoid mishaps. The toughness of shell is good, I like the reflective strip down back. The key weakness is the durability of the waterproof layer which peeled off and made these useless after 2-3 seasons of relatively dry climate and minimal usage. If they could increase thickness or robustness of the waterproofing laminate, these would be great. As is, I am checking out other options as replacement.

GREAT!

I like the concept for this item. but I cannot tell what size shoe it would fit. Despite velcro straps, it is way to small for my size 15 shoe.

Comment ai-je pu m'en passer aussi longtemps .... Ces guêtres sont très compactes ( faciles à ranger dans une petite poche du sac à dos) , légères, faciles à enfiler (élastique sur le devant, scratch à l'arrière ) et permettent une bonne protection. Je n'ai pas essayé dans des conditions extrêmes mais j'ai déjà pris deux belles averses avec et la protection est quasi parfaite : sans être parfaitement au sec, la chaussure est très bien protégée. Très bon rapport qualité/prix, bonne qualité de construction (élastique solide, scratch arrière sérieux). Parfait pour un usage urbain , mention spéciale pour la compacité qui permet de les prendre tout les temps sur soi ....

En su momento había comprado unos cubrebotas que me llegaban hasta casi la rodilla. Eran también de la marca Vaude y había quedado muy contento con su funcionamiento y durabilidad. Por ello he repetido. Para mi gusto, la adquisición reciente es más cómoda (quedan algo por encima del tobillo) y cumplen su función ya que evitan que los zapatos se manchen y se humedezcan. Son muy adecuados para todo tipo de calzado y, hasta donde sé, no es fácil encontrar alternativas, ya que habitualmente los cubrecalzado de bicicletas están pensados para calzado técnico y más para el frío que para la lluvia. En conclusión, una buena compra.

Purchased 18 months ago, still holding well.

Hard to find these for my shoe size, but these are really best bang for buck. Keeps my shoes dry and dirt free 10/10
