Date Reviewed: January 27, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Price Paid: |
$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Cheap, does keep your feet warm.
Must be oversized at least 2 sizes up. | | Weaknesses: | The zippers (and teeth) always die easy. This is the result of two pairs tried.
Went on a ride, and at the end the zipper was undone, and the slider was in never land. | | Similar Products Used: | Lots of neoprene | | Bike Setup: | City commuter MTB for winter riding with studs. | | Bottom Line: | Avoid. I think velcro booties are more durable as a bootie closure.
At least they have no teeth. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | Performance | | Strengths: | Neoprene keeps feet warm. | | Weaknesses: | Junk: like everybody else found out....the zippers die. On my 4th ride the zipper is gone and many teeth are missing. Same problem with the previous pair. The bottom is also ripping out way past where I cut out the cleat holes. | | Similar Products Used: | Log house rain booties, Burley rain booties. | | Bike Setup: | Trek 520 commuter with Nokian studs. | | Bottom Line: | Junk. Do not waste your time. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 12, 2004 | | Duration Product Used: | 1 Year | | Bottom Line: | toes were getting cold and going numb so i bought these. they helped, but didn't completely solve the problem. great price=$20. make sure you order 2 sizes bigger than your shoes. also make sure you cut out the pattern on the sole for the road cleat...i tried the spd pattern and i couldn't get clipped in (you'll need the extra room). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$20.00 | | Purchased At: | K | | Strengths: | Keep your feet warm and the soles don`t slip on wet floors or so much on wicked ice Price | | Weaknesses: | Zipper is weak and you need to buy a size up just for street shoes so I'd imagine 3 sizes up for mtb shoes | | Bottom Line: | I use mine almost daily in winter(6 MONTHS) for my commute. I wear street shoes or an old pair of worn down mtb shoes for ease of entry and exit into the booties. They work great as a pair of industrial gloshers and the rubber soles give very good traction (well the first 2or3years). The zippers ripped away from the neoprene but still functioned kind of and after hard abuse the soles wore out from the pedal traps but hey I'm talking day in and day out abuse. I bought another pair last year for commuting. I wanted to get a pair for my mtb shoes but that size sold out too fast | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: January 22, 2000 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | Used these aggressively with satisfactory results. However, zippers blow out after on a couple months use. Also, I wear size 9.5 shoe and need size 13 bootie. Don't let performance folks tell you two sizes over will work for an MTB shoe -- it won't. I like the booties, but I am in the market for a water resistant shoe because these booties will let water in for sure. | | Bike Setup: | Cannondale F700 | | Bottom Line: | Good at $20 (sale) but need something more "bullet proof." | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

it's named after a pond. | | Duration Product Used: |
1 Year | | Strengths: |
warm warm factor. way warm. like, so warm that they're just, well, warm. | | Weaknesses: |
zippers blow out easily. but they still work whether it's zipped up in back. they also aren't too beefy when it comes to mountain biking. pretty easy to blow them apart. | | Bike Setup: |
specialized shoes and defeet socks (of course). | | Bottom Line: | at 20 bucks (average sale price. be patient), how can you go wrong. it's a pretty solid layer of neoprene and it keeps wind, water, muck, and everything else out. like i mentioned, i've seen a bunch of these fall apart when it comes to really agressive mountain biking. and don't let the zipper thing scare you. the zipper will most likely blow out, but they'll still keep your feet cooking. | | Overall Rating: |

Answer shoes | | Bottom Line: | These booties have served me well for several years now. The feet stay warm and as dry as can be expected. They just don't look cool, luckily they're usually covered in mud &/or snow. | | Overall Rating: |
