Showers PassClub Shoe Cover(Return to Product Page)

I bought these for an 8 day bike tour of the southern Hebrides islands off Scotland's mainland with my son in April 2022. As expected, the rain came in the latter two days of our trip. I wore cycling sandals with these Showerpass shoe covers. My feet were dry. They're lightweight and durable.

Showers Pass generally makes well thought out products but these are horridly made. They are little more than an ill-fitting bag to go over your foot . Further, as a bike shoe protector you are told "cut out hole for cleat" - with no template and little direction that leads to a slice and dice customize hole in the darn things.

I never thought I'd be so let down by a showers pass product, but I am.

I had to exchange the Large for XL. My shoe size is 12. I was hesitant to cut a hole in the bottom for my cleats, but after a couple of rides in the rain, I found I was reluctant to wear them because my feet would slip. I decided to cut a hole and am really glad I did. After riding in steady rain on my commute, I got to work (and home) with dry feet. Very happy with my Showers Pass equipment.

This is my second set of Showers Pass booties. I use them for my daily commute when it rains. I got these after the first pair wore out. The design has changed a little. The new ones are not as suited to walking in as the old ones. They work their way down over the heels to where I'm stepping on the zipper. That's just from walking into the building. Other than that, they do the job of keeping my shoes dry.

I'm happy to report that the updated design of this shoe cover has a much beefier zipper and holds up well to abuse!

I have tried many ,so called, waterproof shoe covers with dismal results. These keep my feet dry for nearly 2 hours of riding in western washington rain. What usually happens the rain runs down my leg warmers inside my shoes. I may need to try their rain pants over the top of the shoe covers to prevent this.

This was my first attempt in shoe covers. Because I usually wear a size 48 (13 US) Pearl Izumi SPD shoe, it was very challenging finding a cover that I wouldn't destroy trying to put them over my boat-like feet.

These certainly do the trick, but I had trouble with one of the zippers. Once it becomes buggered, it never tracks right. Eventually I got frustrated and tossed them. The waterproofing in them is OK. In heavy rain these will still leak through the fabric, but the majority of the precipitation was directed away.

I commute in street clothes and needed a way to keep my sneakers dry during rainy rides to the office. These things do the job. My shoes stayed nice and dry on the handful of rides I've used them. They get a little hot and are a little baggierlooser than I was expecting but they fit over both my sneakers and the hiking boots I wear in the winter. They do look super nerdy. They're only a step above plastic bags over your feet. If you don't mind that, then these do a good job of keeping your feet dry. I've only used them a few times so far so I can't speak to their durability but they feel pretty tough.

This cover may keep shoes dry but the fit is way too one size fits all. The size recommended to me by the size chart is too big and flops around when Im riding. I cant walk when they are on because there is so much extra material. I will try to modify them myself but would not buy them again.

The shoe covers provide very good water protection but are not meant to walk in over any distance. One has to cut out the bottom for cleats. Recommend starting with a small cutout and enlarging when you see where the cleat is abrading the cover.

My first pair has lasted through about ten months of daily riding in the rain and cold! The seams are starting to come undone and the zipper is falling off but they are still keeping my feet dry (and I bike in cleat sandals). I just ordered a new pair to last me through next winter - buy them on sale and expect to be pleased )

I recommend pairing them with boot gaiters to keep your shins dry

Pull these up over your shoes and zip the back to seal out the things that make your feet feel bad. Solid bottom can be cut to allow your cleats to protrude or left intact if you dont use cleats. Coated nylon and quality zips combined with great manufacturing make these my new favorites.

I have worn these a few times and they seem to do well in light to moderate rain. - I haven't had a chance to use them in heavy rain. In colder weather, they also help to keep my feet warm.

They fit fine on my size 9 running shoes, which I wear for my daily cycle commute to work and I don't have any trouble getting them on or off. The reflective material is a nice touch. The quality of the construction seems good and I expect to have them for many years.

I ordered size L according to the sizing chart, but when I got them my shoes (Sidi Dominator 44.5) swam inside the covers! So I returned to BTD for exchange to size M. They were still a little loose on the shoes, but I cut cleat holes in the soles and started wearing the covers on my daily commute into Seattle. My feet stayed perfectly dry in some heavy November rain, but my commute involves some walking (onoff a ferry) and the covers slip down my ankles as soon as I start walking! Then the covers get very loose and I ended up walking on the heels of the covers.

Because I cut the cleat holes in the soles I guess I can't exchange them with BTD. I want to try on a size S in a bike shop to see if they stay tighter on my shoes so walking doesn't make them slip down and bunch up when walking.

I wear size 42-43 (EUR) and first bought shoe cover size L which were way too big. Then I bought size M and hardly get my shoes in (too small).

Even though they hardly fit, the covers are so bulky above the ankles that it is hard to walk - ending up with the shoe cover heel under your middle foot (happened with both L and M covers). I now use rubber bands to tighten the covers around my ankles - so far it works.

The covers also tend to slide down the leg which leads to wet feet because the water from the rain pants runs down the leg directly into the shoes (the rubber bands help against this). I bought these shoe covers for my daily commute by bike which also involves short periods of walking.

Finally I am wearing MTB shoes which are dimension wise between road bike shoes and street shoes and cutting the hole for my clicks was no problem and clicking and un-clicking works well.

I am not happy with those shoe covers but so far they are the best of what I found so far (including waterproof shoes).

I followed directions and ordered a size over the posted measurements. It was still too small for a light hiker. Otherwise, I think it will do the job.

These babies are the answer if you want to ride to work in your Gucci loafers in the rainsnow, which I do. I have only 2 gripes 1) the sole is not as tough as it should be - if you ride spiked pedals you may tear the material, and 2) the uppers are saggy, so you need to wear an ankle strap to keep them up.

I tried the neoprene shoe covers but it turns out my need was dry, not warm. After all I live in So. Cal. So the waterproof cover is a much better solution to my very occasional requirement.

If you are a casual rider that rides to work in street clothes, these are for you. They fit over regular shoes easily. They are easy to put on and take off and keep you shoes (and socks) dry. The soles are non slip and seam to hold up quite well. Put a pair of rain pants and a waterproof jacket on and your all set for spring fall rides.

I have not used them yet as the weather has not warranted it yet. I found them easy to cut out for SPD pedals. I have had them on and they appear to fit great and I expect they will do the job. I have a Showers Pass jacket whood and am very pleased with their products. Best there is.
