Can anyone recommend a pair of shoe covers for mtb shoes? I have a pair for my roads but won't fit on my mtb shoes.

thx.

I have the Pearl Izumi amfibs and they work pretty well... Pearl Izumi also makes the Toester which is apparently even warmer than the ones I have. My feet still get cold after an hour out in 20 degree weather, but I guess that's just a fact of life.

Granted, I'm from Florida, so I'm not an expert. I've read and heard that waterproof socks are much better for mountain biking in lieu of shoe covers. Usually the shoe covers will still allow water to enter through the bottom (not as much an issue on the road) where the sock will keep your feet completely dry (except from sweat).
