Black / S
$39.95$66.95
Walk on the cover.
Not on your shoes.
Zip-up rain shoe covers that go on over the shoes you're already wearing, with their own thick tread sole. The puddles and the grit meet the cover's sole instead of yours, and at the door they come off.
“I’ll just wear my rain boots.”
Then you wear them all day: at your desk, in class, at dinner. Or you carry dry shoes in your bag and swap at the door. These skip both. They zip on over the shoes you're already wearing, take the wet walk on their own sole and come off when you get there, because the point is to arrive in your own shoes, dry.
Wear these cycling to work in the rain. Shoes stay dry and the covers are easy to stash in a bag when you don't need them.
Six reasons to zip up instead of swapping shoes
Arrive in your own shoes
Zip them on over the shoes you're already wearing, walk the wet part, and take them off at the door. No second pair in your bag, and no rain boots on your feet all day.
You walk on its sole, not yours
Each cover has its own thick sole with a raised rim and a maze-pattern tread. The puddles and the grit meet that sole on the way in, so your shoes don't have to.
Step in with your shoes on
The zipper opens down the front, so your shoe slides straight in while it's still on your foot. No sitting on a wet step tugging a cover over your toes.
Strap, snap and drawstring top
An elastic strap with a snap button crosses the instep to keep each cover in place as you walk. A cord with a toggle closes the top around your ankle or pant leg.
The mud stays at the door
Pull them off when you get in, and the mud and road grit stay on the covers instead of in your car or your hallway. One unzip and you're inside in your own shoes.
Walk, ride, or the muddy yard
The walk to work, the ride to class, a wet scooter commute or a muddy morning in the yard. Same pair, same zip, same sole, whatever the morning looks like.

Standing in deep water? That's still a job for rain boots. These are protection for rainy walks and rides.
How a cover with its own sole works
A rain shoe cover has two jobs: go on over the shoe you're already wearing, and take the wet walk so your shoe doesn't. This one does both with three parts:
- A front zipper opens down the front, so your shoe slides straight in while it's still on your foot. Step in, zip up, done.
- An instep strap and a drawstring top hold it in place: the elastic strap snaps across the instep as you walk, and the cord and toggle close the top around your ankle or pant leg.
- Its own thick sole with a raised rim and a maze-pattern tread sits between your shoe and the street, so the puddles and the grit meet that sole instead of yours.
We want to be straight about one thing. These are PVC covers with a front zipper, and we have not tested them as waterproof, so treat them as protection for rainy walks and rides, not for standing in deep water. The tread gives the sole a pattern, but wet tile and polished floors indoors still call for care.

Good questions
Are they waterproof?
We want to be straight about this. They're PVC covers with a front zipper, and we have not tested them as waterproof, so treat them as protection for rainy walks and rides, not for standing in deep water.
Do they really go on over the shoes I'm wearing?
Yes, that's the whole idea. The zipper opens down the front, so your shoe slides straight in while it's still on your foot. Step in, zip up, snap the strap and go.
What size should I order?
Order by your shoe size. They come in five sizes, S to XXL, for men and women, and the size guide shows which shoe sizes each one fits. Between sizes, take the larger size. If you wear wide shoes, one reviewer's tip is to size up.
Will they stay in place when I walk?
That's what the strap and the drawstring are for. An elastic strap with a snap button crosses the instep to keep each cover in place as you walk, and a cord with a toggle closes the top around your ankle or pant leg.
Do they go over or under my pants?
Either works. The cord and toggle close the top around your ankle with your pants over the cover, or around your pant leg if you'd rather tuck them in. The shaft is 8.7 inches tall, enough to cover the whole shoe and the top of your sock line.
Are they slip-resistant?
We don't claim slip resistance. The sole has a maze-pattern tread, so it has a pattern to walk on, but wet tile and polished floors indoors still call for care.
Can I wear them on a bike or scooter?
They're made as protection for rainy walks and rides, and a wet scooter commute is one of the scenes in our photos. One reviewer wears them cycling to work in the rain. Either way your shoe stays inside the cover, on the cover's own sole.
How do I clean them?
Hand wash them, and don't dry clean. The mud and road grit stay on the covers when you pull them off at the door, so it's the covers that get the wash.
What comes in the box?
One pair: two covers, one for each foot, in black. So both feet are covered from the first rainy walk.
What if they don't fit?
Start a return within 30 days of delivery. If it's the size, check the size guide first, and take the larger size if you sit between two.
How does shipping work?
Standard shipping is free on every order. Every order also gets a tracking number, live within 24 to 48 hours of dispatch.
