Riding through the winter is a nightmare to cyclists due to the freezing feet and the wet surrounding. A pair of damp-proof overshoes insulates your feet by closing different vents, holes, and openings that allow water to get in.

Here is what you should know before you purchase waterproof overshoes. The best riding overshoes for winter have a thick layer of neoprene. This material is damp-proof and prevents wind from hitting your feet

Road Vs. Walking Overshoes

Not all damp-proof overshoes are meant for cycling. Check on how the cleats and treat patterns on the sole are used. Road shoes come with smooth soles, whereas the walking soles are equipped with cutouts for cleat and heel pad.

Toe Covers

If you cannot afford to buy a damp-proof overshoe, buying a toe cover will solve half the problem. They cover your toe area protecting them from freezing. Besides, they are light in weight and can be taken off with ease.

Conclusion

Now that you understand the importance of damp-proof overshoes, it is time to get you a pair. Choose a size that fits and a color that matches your shoes.
