Shoe covers are a must for bike commuting in my opinion — they let you ride in your everyday shoes, and their convenience more than makes up for the initial cost. (This from a guy who used to wear plastic shopping bags to keep his shoes dry. This does work — usually — but it’s ugly and unreliable.)

My Burley shoe covers are now starting to wear out — I repaired both with duct tape this week — and unfortunately the company does not make them any more. I am starting to look for other options. Here are two:

Showers Pass. makes a cover similar to Burley’s. I can’t vouch for them, having never used them, but here’s someone else’s review.

J&G also makes a waterproof shoe cover. Theirs is a little cheaper, and comes in more sizes.
