New overboots wrong size, doh!
Picked up some new leg warmers from Uno today and got home to find my
waterproof booties had arrived from DeanJones (only $25 at the moment). was very excited to have two new purchases in one day but found the booties won't fit over my MTB shoes. The booties are size 44/45 and my MTB shoes are 44, but there is no way they goiing to fit over the top. Will give Dean Woods a call tomorrow but was wondering, seeing I've never owned road shoes whether MTB shoes are too fat for booties over the top?? DaveB "almost ready for sub-zero temperatures" |

DaveB "almost ready for sub-zero temperatures" I got some Azumi shoe covers, large size, and they are a real struggle to get over my road shoes. There's no way they'd fit over my mountain bike shoes. How do they size these things? It was minus 0.6 this morning, only 5 degrees at 9am. I didn't ride Marty |

DaveB "almost ready for sub-zero temperatures" this is a pretty common complaint about overshoes. i went thru the sam scenario last winter. i found 2 works arounds. 1 - put overshoe half on whilst shoe is off foot and then rol remainder on after foot is in. can still be a struggle. with my screwe shoulder it was 'extra fun' convincing 'non-morning-wife' that she ha to help me do so ("not the rubber again!") 2- buy biggest available. Let's talk. If the size you got aint th biggest i could do with another so can try out your current ones an order in some bigger ones and we can swap, or something. PS "DeanJones" ?? -- flyingdutch |

PS "DeanJones" ??? Bugger, got a response from Dean Woods (but still nothing from Dean Jones ). They have booties for MTB shoes but they are $45. Crap so much for the $25 special that I could almost justify. Dutch, DW will exchange the ones I have for the others (plus I pay the extra of course). But if you want the 44/45 ones I have they're yours for $20 (you don't have to pay the $7 postage and I'll drop $5 because I won't have to pay $5 to send them back). Otherwise no drama, I'll just send them back for the exchange. DaveB "glad mfhor isn't about to point out the foibles of Internet purchases" |

Nope you definitely don't want anything too small, I'll send em back. Im thinkin i might just stitch in some velcro into the backs of mine for easier on-off... that's what these ones have and looks like it would work well if they could fit over the shoe. DaveB |
