Are there any shoe covers made specifically for mountain bikes shoes? The last set I had seemed to made for shoes without treads. Any ideas? Thanks.

Pearl izumi Mountain shoe covers

Thanks. Do those do a good job keeping your feet toasty?

I am comfortable down to the low 30s. I bought these last year in the fall and then got Lake Winter shoes in january so I haven't used them alot.

The problem is the cleat -- There isn't alot of insulation there and the booties certainly don't add any. Helps if you throw a chemical warmer in there.
