Frozen toes is a my curse when weather gets below 60. I've used Pearl Izumi for about ten years and with the Kevlar thread used in certain areas, they've lasted me for about 7 years a pair. I dislike the fitting as the covers don't fit far enough back on my Shimano cycling shoes and can work their way off. The Toe Thingy's were on sale, so I bought a pair and found them better fitting and slightly warmer. I had to trim away the bottom holes to better fit my clips, but they stay on much better. Given the foam rubber material, they're already taking a beating and will likely tear, but having lost and recovered my Pearl's on rides, that's fine with me as running out in the middle of the street to retrieve a Pearl isn't worth the great price on a busy street, so to speak.
TL;DR -- The title says it all.
I appreciate the convenience of this product. It can be easily fitted to your road shoes and remain on the shoes throughout the winter months. I recently rode in 24'F temp with these and wore wool socks. My toes were frozen by the end of the ride. I would recommend using shoe covers for temps below 32.
I purchased these Toe Thingy's to compliment my full neoprene shoe covers when it's cool but dry-ish in the Pacific Northwest. They slip on and off without issue and conform to BOA dials and/or straps. Definitely a piece of kit to keep in the fall/winter/spring rotation.
My old toe caps were getting a little thin so I picked these up. Nice fit, warmer toes, and SCORPIONS!! What's not to like?
If you are riding in the colder months that aren't freezing cold these are nice toe covers. I ride mostly down south and on chilly mornings (25-30 F) and these make all the difference.
Warmer than Pearl Izumi. Good to 65 then too hot!
Supposed to be one size fits all, but for my size 12 wide feet it's a struggle to get them on. They seem fine otherwise.
