Pearl Izumi Elite Softshell Shoe Cover

Excellent value for a bootie. Love to see the water bead up on the surface. Feet stay warm and dry. Velco closures are easy to access. Haven't ridden in cold weather (less than 32 degrees) but feel confident these booties will keep this cyclist toasty!

Easy on and off. I cut the bottoms add so I could use them with hiking boots on bikepacking trips. Durable. These are my second pair. I lost a bootie on a trip and went right back to this style.

I wanted something to keep my feet warm on in between days. I have winter cycling shoes, toe caps, and regular shoes. These fill that gap when the weather is a bit cold, but not cold enough for the winter cycling shoes.

I use these shoe covers for winter mountain bike trail riding. The new design improves the fit and longevity of this shoe cover. It is very easy to put on, stays in place, and keeps my feet warm and dry.

not the same quality as the pair i had before. the new ones tore easy on the bottoms and sides.. i patched them with gear tape. The Velcro on the new models is of lesser quality then the last pair i owned. they rarely stay closed. i will only get one season of wear out of these.

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.

I bought them in early spring so haven't so probably won't use them til winter

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.

Invaluable for Spring and Fall rides. Velcro rear large improvement over pull on (earlier model) . Reccomend without reservations!

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.

I had an 20 year old pair that I thought were great until I bought these. The were very comfortable, it didn't feel like my feet were being strangled. They are super easy to put on and take off. I wore them in less on a hour plus road ride around 45 degrees and my feet did get cold, surprisingly

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.

USE

Use for wet and cool morning commutes. Keep feet warmer and dryer but takes time to get on.
