'NICE IDEA BUT POOR SHAPE & MANUFACTURE'

Strengths:
1) Rubber toe-grip at the front, helps when walking.
2) Superb material, very tough and waterproof- it never tore or let in much water. Cleaning is also easy.
3) VERY reflective from the rear! (I had other cyclists overtake me so they weren't blinded...)

Weaknesses:
1) Poor shape if you fall between small and medium size feet like me- I didn't want to go for small (done that before, they were too small) and being and the small end of medium, the toe-end has a tendancy to flip up over the shoe exposing your tootsies.
2) Poor attachment of under-foot velcro strap. The stitching gave way on mine after about 4 months. Going to try to reattach.

Overall:
Should have been a good over-shoe, and probably is if you have the right-size feet. It just doesn't fit me properly and isn't stitched strongly enough.

Sadly the negatives outweight the positives.
