Overshoes

Does anybody wear overshoes particularly specific to mountain bike trainers as they are a bit wider than spds. My Five Ten shoes take forever to dry out after a ride, at least 2 days!

I just wear normal neoprene overshoes and don't have any problems. I wear size 11 mtb trainers, Shimano MT41, and a Northwave shoe which is quite large.

At the end of the day they don't always keep you dry, but the bonus is that they do keep you warm as the water that manages to finally get through becomes subject to that "wetsuit" effect where it is heated by your body the trapped. Is there no shop that would let you try some different sizes on?

I have the same problem, that I wear normal trainers on my mtb using the flattie pedals Embarassed

and fed up of getting the trainers caked up with mud. However I'm interested in these OVERSHOE

Hope these help or you can ring Kudubikes for advice on the overshoes.

for drying your shoes try this tip

old newspaper scrumpled up into balls, stuff them in your trainers and they'll be dry by the next day, and put under the radiator for quicker time

oh and posh mtb'ers use (new) nappies, but them inside out and put them in Laughing

Another good little tip
for drying your wet bike shoes
baby's nappy ( disposable type ) preferably not used ha ha
put inside of the shoes dry in a couple of hours well near enough
they soak the water up big style .
