NEOS 15in Adventurer All Season Waterproof Overshoes

So, I figured the Canadian military and U.S. mail deliverymen must know something about boots, and I needed a tough, light, waterproof overshoe that did what it said it would. Well, I'm very happy with these babies.As luck would have it, it was pouring rain the day after these arrived. I put them on over comfortable walking sneakers, (New Balance). Size 9 1/2 sneakers slipped right in. The Velcro front closure looked like it might be a pain to close, (being a long vertical run), but the flaps lined up and velcroed just fine. The ankle belt snugged the boots without being restrictive or uncomfortable over the top of the sneaker and the tongue/lacing. Good fit up the calf - not too tight/ not too loose. The top of the upper "gaiter" was snug and allowed for pants tuck in. I was afraid the upper, being lighter material, might just sag down to my ankles, but it held up like a boot.Now, the test. I headed out on a two mile trail hike. First off, the outside stairway is painted and slippery/slick in the rain. These boots grabbed and held every step. A big plus. I walked in every puddle and muddy rut. Totally dry and firm footing. Very light and no sense I was wearing any kind of boot or overshoe. No squeaking. Boot flexed nicely when I had to clamber over things. Upper part of boot did not sag. Pants stayed in place. (I'll wear rain pants over the calf when in real use.) No rubbing from the ankle strap. No squeaking or odd sounds. Sneaker did not shift inside boot. Feet did not overheat.At the end I just stood in a puddle in the rain for 15 minutes to give the boots a further chance to leak. When I got home and took the boots off there was zero water infiltration, even along the Velcro strip. The sole hadn't filled up with caked mud, (although to be fair I walked the last bit through clean pine straw and clear water so the boots sort of got washed off. But it didn't seem like these were inclined to get caked up with mud.) Boots came off just as easily as they went on; no messy struggle.The upshot is that these did exactly what I wanted. Waterproof, light, comfortable, grippy. A happy find.

Bought these for our trip to Yellowstone in February! BEST PURCHASE EVER. I was surprised to not see them on anyone upthere. I had locals asking me about them. Went snowshoeing in them over my light weight goretex hiking boots. Plus I wore them through the slushy icy mess in in the streets of Gardiner at night. Never did my feet get cold or sweaty. I wore one pair of lighteight merino wool socks in my boots and the neos over that. The most interesting thing was on longer hikes or snowshoe trips, the moisture from my normally sweaty feet made its way into the NEOS boot, beingcompletely waterproof, the neos had collected the condensation, but my gortex hikers kept that away from my feet, and the NEOS kept out snow,ice and water from the outside. When I first saw this I thought there had been a leak in the over boot, but I never felt any cold which was puzzling at first. I just dry NEOS with a hand towel or paper towels. Sounds odd but that system worked very well. They are super easy to put on and take off so drying them out is easy if you have a long hike and remember to do it on a stop. I dont know if they will make a NEOs with a gortex panel to let some of the moisture escape, which would be a great addition, but these overboots as they are will keep out the elements, i can wear my running shoes in them too, for a slosh through our Houston flood waters to unclog the street drains.

be careful when ordering b/c i think they run smaller than they say. i wear an 8-1/2 steel toe boot to work & the medium barely fit. i had to stomp into them & even then it was like walking on heels b/c the back kinda bunched up under the boot. i sold 'em & got the large. perfect fit but not much wiggle room so if your boots are bigger than 8-1/2 be careful. not sure what these work like over regular shoes. somebody stole the 2nd pair & i immediately ordered these to replace them. never go to work without 'em

These are amazing - I tried them on a glacier tour in Alaska and realized they would be perfect for snow duty in Colorado when shoveling or snow throwing!I got a size L because the description said they were for shoe sizes up to size 11, but none of my size 11 shoes will even get the heel down into the boot (normal width New Balance 840 sneakers and Salomon hiking boots.)If you wear a size 11, or perhaps even a 10.5, you may want to size up.Since these are sold on Amazon but fulfilled by a third party, it will cost you shipping a second time if you try the Large and they don't fit your shoes (as they are advertised to), so choose wisely.

I bought these for my husband for a trip to Fairbanks, Alaska. He'd been trying on all sorts of winter boot options, but these allowed him to keep his own hiking boots on and just slip these over. He was warm in temps reaching -30F. When we went dog sledding one of the mushers said that these were what they wore on trail! Added bonus that he can just slip them off when going indoors and not have to bring an extra set of shoes.

This is my first purchase of Neos Overshoes and they seem to be just what I need. I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered the Neos Adventurer size large. They fit over my hiking boots perfectly and are very easy to put on and remove. The are just a little loose when I wear my tennis shoes, but is not a big deal. I like the way the fold up for traveling and do not take up much room. They may not be the most stylish footwear (I think I saw a pair similar to these on the monster "Frankenstein" when I watched the movie) but they do the job of keeping your feet dry. My wife and I are going to a photography workshop next fall in Northern Michigan and the folks that put on the workshop recommended Neos as they have been using them for workshops in Yellowstone, Alaska, and Michigan for many years.
