Product Information
Full details
VeloToze Toe Covers are designed for road cyclists who need reliable protection against cool, damp, and misty weather during training or commutes. These covers provide a essential barrier against road splash and wind chill, ensuring your toes remain comfortable in temperatures ranging from 10C (50F) to 18C (65F). While these covers are highly effective for performance and aerodynamics, users should note that they are crafted from latex material, making them unsuitable for those with a latex allergy.

FAQs
Can I use these for mountain biking?
These are designed for road cycling shoes and may tear easily if used with the rugged outsoles and walking terrain associated with mountain biking.
Are these machine washable?
No, they should only be wiped down with a cool, wet cloth. Machine washing can damage the latex material.
Do I need to worry about the temperature range?
They are optimized for 10C (50F) to 18C (65F). Riding in much colder temperatures may require thicker, full-shoe covers.
Why should I keep them out of direct sunlight?
UV rays can cause the latex material to break down and degrade over time, leading to brittleness and cracking.
Will these fit over any road shoe?
They are designed to fit most standard road cycling shoes with external cleats. They may be difficult to fit over very bulky shoes or winter-specific boots.
Troubleshooting
The cover is sliding or bunching up while riding.
Ensure the cover is pulled fully over the shoe and that the rubber is not caught on the pedal cleat.
The material has a small tear.
Because they are made of latex, small tears will quickly propagate. Avoid further stretching and keep away from sharp objects; if the tear is significant, the product may need replacement.
Covers feel 'sticky' or are difficult to store.
Latex can become tacky over time. Lightly dusting the covers with talcum powder can prevent them from sticking to themselves during storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your VeloToze Toe Covers, follow these guidelines:
Setup: Slide the cover over the toe of your cycling shoe before or after putting your shoes on. Ensure the bottom opening is properly seated around the cleat area to prevent movement.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for standard road cycling shoes. Ensure your cleat positioning does not have sharp edges that could tear the latex material.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a cool, wet cloth after every ride.
- To dry, hang over a hanger or ledge, or simply wipe with a dry cloth.
- Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid contact with sharp objects (such as keys or sharp shoe buckles) to prevent punctures.
