"The MT500...has a rubber-faced neoprene upper to keep your feet warm and it also addresses some of the wear issues inherent with overshoes by featuring a rubber toe cap and a Kevlar sole. The toecap adds strength but is also ridged to add grip when clambering about. Many neoprene overshoes wear from contact with the cranks but the nylon face on the MT500 seems pretty durable. Endura has also solved an earlier problem by fitting a one-piece plastic “hook” for the Velcro ankle fastening...at well under £30, this is great value."
