Overshoes with clips and straps?

Of course it works.
But you have to use LOOK overshoes / shoe covers.
These thick neoprene covers were the ultimate shoe covers in those days.
I may even have a NOS set, that I will never use.
Interested?

maybe ill get get some new cleats, tighten them pedals up and man up a bit (then put on some little noddy style bootie overshoes)
just have the fear that im going to come unclipped whilst trying to stop

Get some Time ATACs and discipline your feet to stay straight when you resist/lock-up.

what would be the problem with something like this?

or use a brake.

stuck the shimano pedals on for the ride to work this morning and it wasnt too bad.
I do use a brake but i use my legs aswell depending on how quick im trying to stop/where my hands are on the bars etc
winter shoes or covers are on the shopping list me thinks
is there a big difference between ATACs and shimano SPD's? they seem pretty popular on here

Hands should be near brakes.

I've recently changed to ATACs from SPDs. They are fine so far. They feel a bit squishy compared to spds and it took a couple of days to change clip method although there's still a lot of habit to break. ATAcs are more expensive - initially and long-term since the cleats wear out far faster. Supposedly less likely to unclip with ATAC although I rarely had issues with SPDs.

I wore overshoes with SPD's and RXS last year- it made a big difference to me when it was pissing down with rain and I had warm dry feet.

The pair I have cost £20 I think, which was well worth it.

In terms of longevity they are ready to do duty again this winter but the undersides are showing some wear from walking- mainly from going to drinks it must be said though.

I'll be using them with ATAC's this winter as I've made the change from SPD and ATAC are in my view much better.

I'll report on the ease of use issue next time it pisses down.

I bought seal skin socks a couple of weeks ago, which seemed like a good idea.. and it is... until you stop spinning and all the water runs down your legs and into your socks. At which point you have two bags of water in your shoes. Fail.

Do you have the long one or ankle length.

I've got some army surplus waterproof socks (full length) whihc eventually get wet if you have to paddle (this happened when I was fording a stream, not down Brighton) but at leat the water warms up like in a wetsuit so you feat are warm. Do your feet stay dry otherwise I don't know if it's worth the upgrade form army boy.

those sound good tommy.. so you're okay to ride in the rain then..

If you really want your feet to stay dry I've got some gore tex chainsaw boots you can buy off me

they weigh a little over 1.2kg each, but your feet will definitely be dry when you take them off

real men ride in cofra strong 3's

i've ridden my surly miles to work while subcontracting over the last couple of weeks.
chainsaw boots ftw. toasty warm, dry and able to resist a chainspeed of 28m/s. ftw.
hopefully will be jol-compatible**™

**i use plastic bags inside my shoes normally. classy.

Oh god. I just bought some spidey boots. For clips. Hate me.
