FAQs
Are these overshoes suitable for MTB shoes?
The Flux Closed Sole Overshoe is primarily designed for road cycling shoes. The closed sole may not accommodate the bulkier tread of some MTB shoes, and it covers the cleat area, which might not be ideal for off-road riding where walking is frequent.
How waterproof are they?
They offer a high level of waterproofing thanks to their neoprene material, waterproof coating, taped seams, and watertight rear zip. They are designed to keep feet dry in heavy rain and wet conditions.
Can I wash them in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these overshoes. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the waterproof coating and taped seams.
What temperatures are these designed for?
These are described as mid-weight and suitable for winter training rides, suggesting they are best suited for cold and wet conditions. They provide warmth but might be too warm for milder weather.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Madison, which typically correlates shoe sizes (UK/EU) to overshoe sizes. It's important to get a snug fit for optimal performance.
Will the rear zip be uncomfortable?
The zip is located at the rear of the ankle, a position generally less prone to irritation from cycling movements. The design aims for comfort during rides.
What is the main fabric composition?
The main fabric composition is Elastane 10%, PU 23%, and Nylon 67%.
Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite zipped closure
Ensure the rear zip is fully closed and the flap over the zip is correctly positioned. Check seams for any visible damage. Ensure the leg cuff is snug and the silicone gripper is effectively sealing against the leg.
Overshoes slipping down the leg
Ensure the elasticated leg cuff is pulled up correctly and the silicone gripper is clean and making contact with the skin or leg warmers. If they continue to slip, check for wear on the elastic or gripper.
Difficulty fitting over shoes
Ensure the overshoes are the correct size for your cycling shoes. Try putting them on while the shoes are slightly damp, or use a small amount of silicone lubricant on the inside edge of the overshoe (ensure it's safe for neoprene).
Material showing signs of wear on toe/sole
While designed with abrasion resistance, avoid prolonged walking on rough surfaces. If wear becomes significant, consider using protective tape on these high-wear areas for added longevity.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Ensure your cycling shoes are clean and dry.
- Slide your foot into the overshoe, aligning your cycling shoe with the interior.
- Pull the overshoe up over your shoe, ensuring the shoe is fully enclosed within the overshoe.
- Fasten the rear watertight zip.
- Adjust the elasticated leg cuff to ensure a snug fit, with the silicone gripper making contact with your leg.
Compatibility:
The Flux Closed Sole Overshoe is designed with a closed sole, meaning the cleat area is covered. This design is generally compatible with most road cycling pedal systems. However, it is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific pedal cleats and shoe model before use, especially for mountain bike or gravel cycling shoes with more pronounced tread patterns or unique cleat designs.
Care:
- Cleaning: After use, clean the overshoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the overshoes to air dry naturally. Do not use direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
