Joined: 16 Oct 2009 Posts: 21 Bike: My Profile | I've been using spd shoes for a while and wondered if anyone has solved the problem of stopping water getting in through the sole of the shoe where the cleats attach. My shoes (Shimano, bottom of the range trainer type) give you a small sticker to put on the inside of the shoe (under the insole)to stop muck getting in, but it's a pretty crude solution which doesn't seem to be very effective. Without it I can see daylight through the unused screw holes. I've now squirted silicon bath sealant into the holes and filled up the recess inside the shoes. Is this OTT or a tried and tested solution?! |

Hopefully it will keep my feet warm and dry when I get the overshoes (Endura MT500s) Hope these are going to be ok, have read some mixed reviews about them. |

I'm careful putting them on the shoe and zipping up as I want them to last. Hope Santa reads your list! |

Joined: 27 Nov 2009 Posts: 14 Bike: My Profile | I too back the MT500 overshoes but can't say I've ever had water in through the bottom of my shoes. Not even on a cheap pair. I find Sealskin socks ok too. |

Joined: 25 Dec 2011 Posts: 7 Bike: My Profile | Hello, like your other correspondants, Ive tried all of the above, silicone sealant, duck tape, goretex socks and neoprene overshoes, but the rain tends to run into your socks, so I prefer thick walking socks with plastic bags over them(v cheap unlike £25 goretex socks which get holes in the heels after a while!)I got a size larger shoes for winter to fit the bigger socks which I bought at Lidl's for just £14 (my other Shimano shoes cost £80.)If it looks really wet and you feel that you must endure it rather than going down to the pub, its probably best to duck tape the top of your overshoes to stop the rain running in and wear over trousers as well, It worthwhile taking the trouble to have warm dry feet as theres nothing more miserable if they are cold and wet. Happy New Year! John L |

Customers are not satisfied because water enters in shoes very easily which is not very common in shoes of other brands.
