They did fine at first. But over time I noticed water leaking in in spots. That was OK except for on those days where the rain was coming down in buckets. Then they tended to leak like crazy. So I searched around for a replacement shoe cover. And found the J&G's. They looked well built but the first rain I rode in they leaked. So I splurged on the Showers Pass Touring shoe cover. Talk about rugged and well built. Those things can handle anything you put them thru. I wear them in a downpour and my feet stay totally dry. I just wish they fit over my LL Bean Snow Sneakers to give me more protection from the cold. But they don't. Outside of that they make for a dependable three-season shoe cover. And I always have them packed away in my pannier just in case. They accompany my O2 Rainshield pants to give me total protection from the rain. The Showers Pass rainjacket I've worn does the rest.
