I also own a pair of the previous generation of the rapha overshoes, had them for 2 full seasons.
I have not worn through / torn any part of the overshoe from walking, or dismounting. I can only imagine tearing out the toe part if you're sitting on your saddle and putting your toes down? When i do walk in cycling shoes, its not like i'm doing a full heel to toe stride...
For anyone considering them, keep in mind that they will not keep water out. In continuous rain it will get soaked right through within minutes. It will only keep your feet warmer than without the overshoes... Anything below 4ºC was painful for me.
This winter i will opt for the Deep Winter Overshoe (which is actually made of a waterproof material & taped seams).

The overshoes fit well and look nice but do not wear at all well. I use mine only for 'special' but the neoprene is wearing such that I may return looking for repair. The damage is from walking in them, but that's only really from house to shed. Have had cheaper ones that lasted much better.
