True to size
by Antony Buchan from United Kingdom on 06/02/2012
These are great over shoes – as Andrew Neal says below they’re a bit of a disposable item – particularly if they get a lot of wear. My first pair have nearly completed two winters, warn 5 days a week on the commute (as wind stoppers as much as anything) and then at weekends on the training rides. They’re a good fit (I have the medium for a size 42 – tight to start but stretched on nicely after a while) and good at keeping the feet dry (better than neoprene which also make your feet look like clown shoes), but water will always finds its way in, but that's the same with all over shoes I've tried! Put on a descent pair of merino sock and your feet will be just a warm as with neoprene. I’ll be ordering my next pair!

Light, well made shoe protection. The large was a perfect fit on my size 44 Sidi shoes. Nice bit of reflection too. Craft products always deliver!

I treat overshoes as disposable items, a pair usually lasting a couple of years. So I don't like to pay huge amounts for them. The price of these Craft overshoes was the first thing that attracted me. Equally, I like close fitting overshoes rather than the 'rubber banded plastic bag' look of many. So Craft scored there for me too. Normally, I wear neoprene overshoes (I don't mind wet feet so long as they are warm!) but I like to try alternatives. I took note of the size comments of others (rather than the size guide) and ordered an L for my (Shimano) size 42 feet.
The fit is spot on for me. You wouldn't want to go smaller but they are the snug fit that I like. Sure, you do have to spend a little bit of time getting them 'just so' (they don't just slip on) but it's worth it.
Most importantly, they work. I've just ridden an hour in the pouring rain and my shoes, socks and feet are dry. And that's what you want isn't it? (Note; I was wearing bib tights and layered them over the ankle of the overshoes. All overshoes will let water in around the top!) Feet were warm too though I've yet to ride in really cold weather. I suspect neoprene will be warmer in cold conditions.
The construction looks solid. I like the reinforced toe area, it could mean an extended life. Ime, all overshoes rip over time, particularly the soul, but the reinforced areas of the Craft ones gives me hope... perhaps they'll do better than 2 years!
For the price, these are an excellent overshoe. Recommended.

Well made product as usual for Craft. These rain booties fit perfectly, I chose the Large size (I wear US: 9 or EUR: 42 2/3) and they are just tight enough so they're aerodynamic but not too much to be hard to put on. Here in Quebec, Canada, it's about 5 - 8 degrees outside and these are enough to keep your feet warm for at least 2h of riding. Haven't use them in the rain yet, but the finish looks like a good water repellent!

The first pair that I had (from another supplier) had a very bad finish to the top of the zip that actually rubbed badly on my leg and caused a sore on the first long ride I did. However, the cost was refunded and I bought another pair from AlwaysRiding. These are better finished, but are very tight, to the point that it is a pain putting them on. Buy a size larger than is suggested!
by Herman Speelman from Netherlands on 31/01/2011
excellent for spring and autumn. good product, as most of Crafts products.
Thanks Always Ridding for the service and super fast shipping!

I tested them under heavy rain and in the snow and they work perfectly.
They keep your feet dry and warm
by Basil from United Kingdom on 05/01/2011
when they work they are good but having purchased them in November the stitching on the seam around the foot has come apart and now the zip has packed in in.

I recently purchased a pair of Craft Rain Bootie. Purtrippo I have not had the chance to use them, because despite having a pair of SIDI scrpini No 45, the L size was small. At the sight and touch SBRA a great product. I sent the product to the sender but I'm still waiting for the XL size. Do not just try them with the wet road and will let you know the success of the product. I hope to be helpful for choosing the size for the next customer.
by Lovisa Backmark from Sweden on 25/11/2010
Perfect! Is using it in Sweden and they work when biking through snow. The feet is warm and dry.
by xxalex from United Kingdom on 23/09/2010
Completed one 70 minute ride in the rain with the new booties. Feet stayed dry and warm. Much better than other overshoes I've used.
Well made, easy to get go. Water runs off them well and they are nicely lined for warmth.
Regarding sizing. The M fits my size 41/42 shoes perfectly but I have very skinny ankles so I need to ensure that the velcro is folded and stuck tight to reduce leakage from the leg.

Craft Rain Bootie, i did not wear them on the bike yet, but they are made off good stuff. Got an in depth product question, or want to ask something else related to this product? Whatever your question, simple post it here, and we'll answer you faster than a speeding bullet.Will these booties fit my off road shoes?
posted by Victor on 27th October 2010
Good question! The Craft Rain Booties, as with most of the cycling over shoes in store, are primarily designed to work with slim, road style cycling shoes. If your mountain bike shoe is relatively slim and not too boot like, then yes, you should be fine. Any problems, then you can of course return them to us for a no hassle refund or exchange.
How does the sizing work - my shoes are 44?
posted by Basil on 28th October 2010
Thanks for your question - With a size 44 cycling shoe, you will need a large size in any of the Craft Overshoes
Is this bootie to ride MTB?
posted by Fernando on 3rd November 2010
Thanks for the question - if your mountain bike shoes are very rugged and wide, the Craft Rain Bootie will not fit very well. However, if your shoe is a slim style, then the Rain Bootie will work perfectly and fit very well.
Hi there !
what kind of under sole is it please ?
posted by Tony on 12th August 2011
Thanks for the question - the Rain Bootie has a Velcro closure under sole, which allows quite a bit of fit adjustment. Whereas other cycling overshoes might just have a hole underneath for the cleat, the Rain Bootie also allows the heel to come through the overshoe, so walking off the bike is a lot easier.
