    For the most part, I have used Pearl Izumi exclusively. I have the Barrier and Barrier Lite booties. The lite version is for windy, cool and light rain. The Barrier booties are for colder weather. I've ridden in these in the 30's with wool sock and been fine.

    As you know we had a pretty wet and wild winter over here this last year! I went for a set of heavy duty over shoes and they have done the job pretty well so far! In fact it was wet this morning when I rode to work but I had nice dry tootsies when I got in! :wink:

    I use the Endura Road Overshoe (£24 from Chain Reaction atm) and I've been delighted with the performance on the bike - can't fault them. And now I'm not such a fatty I find them easier to put on too. However, they have suffered a bit from walking damage - I guess being road models, they're on the lighter side but even so.

    I'd still recommend them. Just don't walk too far in them.
