Cycling Overshoes

When the temperature drops, the wind picks up or it starts to rain, your feet are often among the first places where you feel the cold. Cycling shoe covers are worn over cycling shoes and help protect your feet from cold, wind, water spray and mud. Depending on the model, you can choose lightweight shoe covers for cooler days, waterproof options for rain or warmer models for winter riding.

When choosing cycling shoe covers, it is important to consider not only the size but also the weather conditions you usually ride in. Different models vary in thermal insulation, protection from wind and rain, materials and construction.

At Velonova, you will find cycling shoe covers from ASSOS, Bioracer and GripGrab. If you are unsure about the size or which model would work best with your cycling shoes and riding conditions, we will be happy to advise you – we ride bikes ourselves and know this gear from practical experience.

How to choose shoe covers for your riding style

It is also worth choosing shoe covers according to the type of bike you ride and the conditions you usually encounter. Models designed for road cyclists are generally lightweight, stretchy and fit closely over cycling shoes. Some focus on aerodynamics, while others provide better protection from wind, rain or cold.

For gravel and MTB riders, greater resistance to mud, moisture and intensive use is often important. When choosing these shoe covers, you should also consider their compatibility with your cycling shoes and sole construction.

For everyday city rides, practical and easy-to-put-on shoe covers that help protect against wind, rain and road spray are usually sufficient. When riding more demanding trails, suitable footwear is not the only consideration – cycling protective gear can provide additional protection, especially when riding MTB or BMX bikes.

When choosing shoe covers, consider which cycling shoes you will use them with. Road and MTB shoes differ in shape and sole construction, so the shoe covers designed for them also differ. Road shoe covers are generally designed for a narrower profile, while MTB or gravel shoes often require wider openings in the sole to leave enough room for the tread and SPD cleats.

When riding in rainy or cold weather, it is also important to consider how your shoe covers work with the rest of your clothing. Long cycling tights and trousers should fit comfortably around the top of the shoe covers without leaving unnecessary gaps. Properly matched layers help protect your legs from cold wind and rain.

Choosing the right colour and size

At Velonova, you will find shoe covers designed for different weather conditions and riding styles. Choose classic black models or brighter Hi-Vis options that help make you more visible on the road. For example, for colder weather you can choose GripGrab Ride Winter Road, for everyday rides in the rain – GripGrab DryFoot 2 Waterproof Everyday, and for gravel riding – GripGrab Explorer Waterproof Gravel shoe covers. For those looking for a brighter option, GripGrab PACR Waterproof Road | Yellow Hi-Vis shoe covers are also available.

Always check the manufacturer's size chart before ordering. The correct size is important not only for comfort – shoe covers should fit snugly over your cycling shoes without being excessively difficult to put on or overstretched. Shoe covers that are too large may move around and wrinkle, while those that are too small can be difficult to put on and may wear out faster.
