FAQs

Are these overshoes suitable for MTB shoes?

The Altura Nightvision Overshoes are designed to fit over a wide range of footwear, including many MTB shoes. However, due to the varied dimensions of MTB shoes, we recommend trying them on to ensure a secure and proper fit, especially around the cleat area.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Altura, which typically matches overshoe sizes to standard cycling shoe sizes. Ensuring a snug fit is key, so if you are between sizes, consider your shoe's general bulkiness.

Can these be worn in cold weather without rain?

Yes, the brush-back lining provides insulation and warmth, making them suitable for cooler conditions even when it's not raining. However, they are not insulated winter boots.

How durable are the reinforced panels?

The reinforced toe, heel, and underfoot panels are made from a durable material designed to withstand repeated friction and wear from walking, pedal interaction, and general use, significantly extending the product's lifespan.

How effective is the reflective print for visibility?

The reflective print is designed to catch and reflect light from sources like car headlights, making your feet and ankles more visible to drivers in low-light or dark conditions, thus enhancing safety.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and waterproof coatings. It is best to clean them manually with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then air dry.

Troubleshooting

Overshoes feel too tight or restrict movement.

Loosen the hook-and-loop closure strap. Ensure you are using the correct size and that the overshoe is properly aligned over your shoe without bunching.

Water is leaking into the overshoes.

Check that the hook-and-loop closure is securely fastened and creating a good seal around the ankle. Inspect the overshoe for any tears or damage, particularly around seams.

Overshoes are difficult to put on or take off.

Ensure the shoe is positioned correctly within the overshoe before pulling. Try adjusting the opening with the hook-and-loop closure to make it wider for easier donning and doffing.

Reflective details are fading or peeling.

Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning methods. Clean gently with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can also degrade reflective materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your cycling shoes are clean before putting on the overshoes.
  2. Slide the overshoe over your shoe, starting from the toe.
  3. Pull the overshoe up over the heel and ankle.
  4. Adjust the hook-and-loop closure strap for a snug, secure fit around the ankle, ensuring it does not impede circulation.
