Cycling Shoe Covers: When You Need Them
Cold toes end rides early. When to wear cycling shoe covers, and what the Corbah Prime shoe covers are built for.
In this post
Your feet sit right in the wind and barely move on the bike, so they're often the first thing to get cold. Cold toes end rides early. Shoe covers fix that.
When to wear them
Our Prime shoe covers are made for rides below 55°F (13°C). Below that, add them along with long sleeves and a base layer. Read what to wear cycling at every temperature.
The Prime shoe covers
- 240 GSM Corbah Poly Lycra fabric
- An opening underneath for your heel and one for your cleat
- A zip up the back, so they go on and off easily
- Sizes XS to XXL
They keep road spray and grit off your shoes too, so your shoes last longer. See the Prime shoe covers.
Dress the rest of you
- Base layer: the Prime base layer. Read do you need a cycling base layer.
- Jacket: the CxM jacket is made for 40 to 65°F (4 to 18°C). Read our fall jacket guide.
- Long sleeves: the Stealth long sleeve jersey. Read long sleeve cycling jerseys.
- Neck: a neck gaiter.
