Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about PEARL iZUMi products.
-
Shoe covers, also called booties, pull over your cycling shoes to block wind, rain, and spray and add warmth, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in cold or wet conditions. They make a big difference, since feet get cold fast on the bike.
-
Toe covers cap just the front of the shoe for a little wind and chill protection on cool days, while full shoe covers wrap the whole shoe for serious cold, rain, and spray. Toe covers are easy to stash; full covers are far warmer.
-
Thermal covers, like AmFIB styles, focus on blocking wind and adding warmth for cold, dry rides, while waterproof covers focus on keeping rain and road spray out. For cold and wet together, look for a cover that does both.
-
Most have an opening or cutout at the sole so your cleats still clip into the pedals, plus a heel and a zip or closure to seal them on. Match the cover size to your shoe size so they seal without tearing at the cleat opening. Check our Size & Fit Guide if you're between sizes.
-
Gaiters are a lighter cover that seals the gap around the ankle and top of the shoe to keep dust, grit, and small debris out on dry gravel and trail rides, rather than focusing on warmth or full waterproofing.
-
Pull them over the toe first, seat the cleat opening, then close the heel and zip. Rinse off road grime and mud, and air-dry away from heat to protect the fabric and any water-repellent finish.
-
Yes. Shoe covers block wind and water from the outside, but warm socks handle insulation from the inside, and the two work together. Just avoid packing the shoe so tightly that it cuts circulation.
