I am looking for show covers for my sidi genius 4 road shoes, mostly to protect them from rain, and cold air once winter comes, do they make waterproof ones? are are they all? Performance.com sells them but for 40 bucks and they are UGLY.

Get some of the Pearl Izumi shoe covers. They are a well made product and generally retail for about 50 dollars. No offense but the crap that wears the performance and nashbar brand names is usually just that - crap.

Actually, I think Performance sells the Pearl Izumi booties.

geez... i got a pair of activa neoprene booties for $35 canadian three years ago, and they've held up extremely well through three montreal winters. buy the pi's for the name. they're probably actually made by the same company that makes the no-name brands.

they look heavy and rubbery, i am looking for something thin, i have seen them somewhere in many colors and cheaper than 50, thats alot for something that wil sit in the bag for 98% of the time
