Q&A
Are the Arctic 2 Waterproof Deep Winter Gravel Shoe Covers also compatible with flat pedal shoes? No, the Arctic 2 Waterproof Deep Winter Gravel Shoe Covers are exclusively designed to be MTB/Gravel cycling shoes. They are not compatible with flat pedal shoes. Why are they so tight fitting? These shoe covers are optimised for aerodynamic performance and water protection. Therefore, they need to sit as tightly as possible on your gravel cycling shoes. Are they difficult to put on? This shoe cover features a zipperless design that gives a snug fit around the shoe and calf so water cannot penetrate through a zip. This makes them a bit different to put on compared to other shoe covers; we recommend watching our video to see how it's done. Don't worry, after the first couple of times, you'll be an expert. Please note that you put these shoe covers on before you put on your MTB/Gravel bike shoes. Open the hook-and-loop closure strap on the sole, slide them on over your socks, put your shoes on and then pull the covers down over the shoes. Can I also use these overshoes with winter cycling shoes? The purpose of using winter cycling shoes is that you don't need to wear shoe covers. If you still want to do so, please choose at least one size larger to accommodate the bulk of winter boots. Can I wash these shoe covers in the washing machine? No, please do not put these shoe covers in the washing machine. Only hand wash, for example with a garden hose or damp cloth. Do not bleach, Do not wring, Do not tumble dry, Do not iron. Let hang to dry. Do I put the cycling shoes on before the shoe cover? No, the shoe covers must be pulled on before the cycling shoes, and then pulled down over the toe and heel. Then fasten the velcro strap underneath.
