Easy to put on. Tear developed relatively quickly on the bottom near the kevlar seam.
I use these shoe covers in temperatures between 35-50. They are easy to put on and fit nicely. Not quite as warm as I had hoped and a tear developed within the first month of use near the Kevlar seam on the sole of the cover.

Kevlar trim coming un-stiched after 2 months
Kevlar trim on the bottom of bootie has shredded and come un-stiched after two months. My last PIs lasted several seasons. Guess I'll see if duct tape will get these thru the winter.

Great Shoe Cover with Adjustable Fit
These Pear Izumi booties replaced a pair of neoprene covers which finally failed due to a torn zipper.
All in all Im reasonably impressed with how well these new ones work. Entry and removal are much easier due to the two Velcro-like fasteners on the back. The covers have worked great in low 40 degree temps while wearing alpaca or wool sox. One thing I have finally learned (which no one ever shared with me) is that circulation trumps insulation. Leaving ones shoes looser in the winter in concert with a good set of shoe covers does wonders in keeping those toes more comfortable.

How Did I Live Without These?!
Thanks to a spring triathlon, I need to do serious biking through the winter. These shoe covers are a lifesaver on those cold, windy days near freezing. Cannot believe I put off buying them. Highly recommended.
