As title really, I'm looking for recommendations for overshoes that don't need to be waterproof, but are really toasty warm. Out this morning on my weekly ride and my toes were like frozen blocks by the time I got back to the car!

My cycling partner has some Altura Thermostretch which look pretty good and are only £40, but any other recommendations from more experienced riders would be most welcome as an option.

I would prefer these to be "booties" rather than toe warmers and not the ones that go all the way up the shin to the knee. Also prefer zipper fitting rather than pull on.

Budget up to £50 - 60 max. Should I just get the Altura's?

Many thanks

Eventually you will reach the conclusion that northwave boots are the answer to this problem

How much money you waste on overshoes and how many more cold toes rides you go on to get to the answer is up to you

Hi
Many thanks - my shoes are Northwave so I'll have to look into their boots.
Cheers

Yesterday I went for two pairs of socks, Dhb toe covers and Planet X overshoes. I have st circulation so need all the help I can get. I like the Planet X as they're velcro and I am a pro at breaking zips.

“BBB Hardware” overshoes are very warm and waterproof.
I’ve used them for the last 3 winters commuting in all weathers including ice and snow (not exaggerating, I run studded tyres to stay upright in icy conditions)

Just get some cheapo neoprene ones, DHB etc., and accept they last about a year if you use them regularly.
