I have the old version of those booties. Different logo and no pull tab, but the same otherwise.
Incredible in the cold stuff. I've taken them off after a 2 hour ride in 20 degree weather and the inside soles will be dripping with sweat.
Good haul.

They're for cycing shoes, dudes. I suppose you could just wear them over boots or shoes but...no

i figured they were for cycling shoes, as i think all the booties i've seen are. that's why i said i wanted a pair that fit over chucks...cause i hate wearing boots. i guess i wasn't clear. but now that i'm thinking more about it, my chucks are slimmer than my roomies cycling shoes, i bet they'd fit.

Actually you might want a more bulky shoe with them. My Pearl Izumi MTB shoes fit really well inside. I'm thinking a shoe with a really low profile would allow for too much wiggle room.
May I suggest puting your foot inside a ziplock baggie before puing your chucks on and doubling up on socks?

Well, the ziplock baggie won't make your foot any warmer, but it will block the wind. Plus 2 layers of socks for more insulation...should be toasty
