Subject: Rain covers for touring / commuting shoes
|
I've been trying to find lightweight waterproof shoe covers for commuting. I
don't want something that has extra warmth built into them, just a cover.
Neoprene won't work for me, allergies to that material. Breatheable would be
a plus.
I have an old pair of ripstop nylon boots with velcro straps that work
somewhat, but they are too big and loose for much riding. I had seen some
black nylon boots online, but it appears they aren't available anymore. Are
there products I've missed? I'd rather a boot than just a cover, so it will
go up under the legs of my rain pants.
I am not talking about a simple shoe cover designed for road shoes, there's
dozens of models of those. These have to be loose enough to fit over touring
shoes, and completely cover the foot and ankle.
Thanks
Jack Murphy

Don't forget to ask for the catalogue.
I guess the spring/summer '07 one
must've just come out.

Hi there Nash.
I am thinking about taking atrip to Toronto to visit the Montain
Equipment Co-op store there. Do they carry the stuff I see on their
website in the store? I'd like to handle and check the fit of some of
the stuff before I spend my money. Besodes the bus to Toronto is
cheaper than the shipping would be on the items I want.
Cheers from Peter

Do not know if you know about the $5 lifetime membership fee but it is well
worth it.
They are very environmentally conscious.
I would go to the service counter first thing if you do not.

I am putting things in my wish list so when it is $150 I get shipping free.
To the US not sure it is the same. Sometimes I have to return it if I
ordered something that turned out not to be what I assumed it was. like
buying shoes. So it may be better to go in then.

I am in Vancouver otherwise I would you invite you for a night but go to the
MEC site.
locate the store. or go to the product on their site. they have a button
to see if it is in store. That's all you need. You could phone the store
to see what it is for sure.

The plastic clog shoes don't care if they get wet, and are very light;
you could simply carry a pair along.
