Don’t buy
These are terrible and a waste of money… no zipper to get on and off… impossible to get on… sitting in the draw and can’t be used….my partner has the same lad design I am so disappointed

Failed for warmth and failed for wear and tear
I liked the idea of these oversocks but unfortunately they failed both in terms of durability and warmth. These developed a hole on the very first outing. It was also a cold morning and I hoped these would help keep my feet warm. Sadly not, so I’ve gone back to my CastellI toe thingys. Not quite as cool looking but they work.

Great visibility
I got these in pink and they are extremely bright! Perfect for riding in low light when it's not cold enough for overshoes or winter boots.
The soles are pre-cut and stitched which marks these out from most other oversocks by avoiding the need to take scissors to a nice new pair of overstocks.
Recommended.

Stylish and reflective
I'be owned quite a few oversocks in the past - these are a bit thinner than Rapha's standard one but seem solid so far. Pre cut clear holes are great (as I always used to get the cutting wrong)
Reflective band is a wonderful touch for winter riding and the high viz pink certainly gets seen out there on the roads!

Great Colour! (Pink) Size got bigger??
Already own a pair of these in black size L-XL (I'm a UK8) and they fitted well, these new ones however seem to be a bit bigger. I know lots of people complain about them being difficult to get on but I'd rather spend 5 minutes getting them on than have baggy oversocks.. Hopefully they'll shrink a bit in the wash!

Tough, but thin, but tough.
These are great for adding visibility (I got Yellow). The reflectivity is a bonus. The material is thin, but feels strong. I don't think they're intended to add a lot of warmth. They are see-through when on, so they are stretched fairly thin. But, again, they feel tough and able to withstand the stretching.

Good quality over sock
Not the easiest of things to put on especially if you use SPD-SL cleats. The cleats almost shredded the knitted material. However this is probably more down to my inept ability rather than the quality of the overstock, which is really very good. Love the design and look just wish they were easier to get on

Go Pink or Go Home!
I bought these in Pink to match a Rapha gilet that I purchased previously. I use both of these for a mid-week night evening training ride from November to February. They really stand out whether in the cafe at the end or out on the road. Great fit, great quality as I've come to expect from Rapha.

Suprisingly warm
During winter months I generally prefer overshoes, and this was my first try of over socks, and I was surprised at how weather proof and warm they were. With the added reflective material these are now my favourite for slightly milder rides as they provide reasonable protection, and breathability.

Brilliant but be careful with them
These oversocks are brilliant - warm, reflective and look cool. BUT, am only on my second wear of them and despite being super careful with them there are a few holes on the reflective cuffs and which is really disappointing as not sure how long they'll last until they become too big.

Lovely looking, heel hole a bit big
Bought these for the winter commute, and the material, whilst not waterproof certainly sees off the damp and grime. The reflective strip is super bright under a headlight which is ideal. One minor gripe is the pre-made heel hole seems too big, often revealing the full heel of a shoe.

Like them
These are an oversock and not a full overshoe. I would say god for a dry autumn or spring day. Really like them, but will have to see how well they stand up. They've been worn around 6 times and I could see that they're probably going to get frayed around the cleat and heel holes.

Chilly morning saviours
These have been invaluable on those mornings when the temperature has barely risen; keeping the chill off my extremities.
Give yourself a few additional minutes to get ready, as they are a challenge to get over your shoes the first time, but you soon get used to putting them on.

Solid Oversock
This is my second pair of Rapha Oversocks, the other ones are still going strong after destroying other brands much more easily. I like they synthetic fabric and knit used. Very fair price too. These ones are taller and have holes pre-made, both good improvements.

optimal in 5-10 degree celcius
In 5-7 degree celcius I rode non-stop with this for 2hours 20minutes by the river. and my toes was a little chilly. overall I am satisfied with this if temperature is over 5 degree celcius. I love it, because this is effectual and beautiful and easily packable.

Look great and keep wind out!
These are great for colder conditions with either long tights or shorts. They are not ridiculously thick so will go through spring as well. Did a really great job of keeping the wind out. Just watch they don’t pull your boa faster loose when you put them on.

Slightly thicker?
Personally love rapha and don’t even want to say but however...... the oversocks look great and are highly visible after three hours of riding they split! I feel they should be made slightly thicker which would also keep the cold out and increase durability?

Warm and reflective
Well fitting oversocks they are difficult to get on but will keep your feet warm and waterproof if you encounter a short shower or wet roads, you will need to take care when putting them on as they will ladder quite easily if you catch them on your cleats

Works perfectly!
Bought this a few weeks ago, 3 rides so far in the cold that I needed them. Around 2-5 degrees on wet roads , no problem with cold/ wet feet. Looks great with my pro team insulated jacket , getting it on is quite easy, just don’t rush it and be careful.

Great visibility !
I feel much safer with these on during rides in the dark. However the foot is really large and the ankle really small. The pre made hole in the sock was to big so I had to make it smaller for my shoe to fit. The sock is elegant and I love how it looks.

Very reflective and comfortable,require sewing.
I like the fit and look of these over socks, they provide an excellent bit of reflectivity for night riding. However I have had to sew up holes in the fabric more than once.I would still recommend these however I do wish they where a bit more durable.

Proper fit
I wear Sidis size 46 and these oversocks are only ones which provide a comfortable fit - other ones are just too small, even in largest sizes. They go slightly higher above the ankle than other oversocks I used. Material is very durable.

Pink is FAST
Love this oversock for both style and function. Its quality and construction is worth the investment. The hi-viz nature of the pink and the reflective band gives me confidence in any light. Not to mention I'm rocking a brand I love!

Keep feet warm
These oversocks block wind and keep feet warm with the added benefit of being reflective. I also wouldn't say these are too hard to get over your shoes as some other reviews have stated. They feel durable and hopefully will last.

Really very good
Took a punt on these for cold dry days and have been really pleased. More comfortable than neoprene overshoes; just like a big sock ! Fit fine over my Lake road shoes. Shocking pink is great for evening rides in low winter light

Good for spring and autumn
Bought to keep the chill of my feet during spring and autumn. They are not is thick as some other over socks I've used but do keep the chill of in cool conditions. The reflective band works well in the dark increasing visibility

Warm, Hi-Viz, stylish
Love the classic Rapha Hi-Viz pink and styling. Fabric seems really hardwearing and really catches the light so drivers can see me. Much easier to slide on than full overshoes, but almost as warm when combined with toe-covers.

Quality pair of socks
The reflective property was the main sell for me especially on early morning training rides. The whole cut outs are sewn up nicely and that well over my cleats. They've held up well with the few times I've ridden with them.

Love my overstocks
I love these. They protect your feet from the wind. Easy to pull on and off. Pre-cut hopes in perfect location. I’ve worn them a doz times so far and they are wearing well. I plan to buy a few more pairs in other colours!
