Highly visible but may not last
Pink overstocks are bright but quite a struggle to get on - L/XL over size 43 cleats - but biggest issue is the poor binding around the holes in the sole. It is starting to come loose after one trip.

Good product but not great for UK winter
Stylish and reasonable price. But with the constantly wet winter roads in the U.K. not that useful as no waterproofing. Cool to wear when wearing black shoes and long bib shorts for added visibility.

great idea but not strong enough
worn these for first time on a short ride. comfortable and reflective BUT, already a small hole on the heel. i bought L-XL to go over size 42 road shoe. Very very difficult to put on - very tight.

Highly visible. Loving the pink!
The colour is trendy and visible, and with a pair of the merino socks they combination of the two will get you through any dry winter ride. I'm a size 9 and went with the large which is snug(ish)

Rapha shoe covers
Great for an autumn/spring ride as long as it’s not too wet, comfortable and warm but beware of the underneath fraying where they catch on the cleats, once this happens they won’t last too long!

Highly Reflective, poorly sized
I would rather not wear oversocks. The benefits of oversocks are lost as these are poorly undersized and have to stretch so much that they offer little to no insulation from the morning chill.

Wonderful for colder rides
Easier to operate than overshoes and provide enough heat for me to keep warm in a thicker pair of socks when around 5°C. And I like the reflective part, for visibilty. I will use these a lot.

More elastic please
These are very effective and look excellent, but my regularly shredded knuckles attest to the need to introduce more elastic into the fabric so as to make them easier to put on and take off.

Nice Looks

Oversock reflective
Having already used the standard oversock, using these reflective oversock helps and supports riding in poorly light conditions. Added the heal cut helps prolongs any damaged to the sock

Good looks, not sure how to wear
These look good once on, but I think I prefer cycling booties. These are hard to get on, and since they cover up the straps, not sure what to do if I need to get my shoes off quickly.

Visible, extra layer of warmth and stylish
I wear these on dark mornings down to around 3 degC - with toe warmers if colder. Although not windproof, they take the edge off and the pink oversocks give me comfort I'm being seen.

Keep my feet warm
Fit my mavic shoes, bit of a faff to get on but then nice warm feet
Don't look too silly even with shorts and knee warmers
Reflective bit makes me feel better about visibility

Well worth getting for spring/autumn rides
Good quality over socks for the spring/autumn days when it mixed temperatures. The cleat and heel wholes already cut so no messing around with trying to make the right size holes.

Great product
Very nice item. Good quality and nice fit. Lovely in pink of course. Fit is precise so don't oversize. They feel strong. Changed them a few time but the knitting holds just fine

Reflective over socks
I was disappointed with the over socks they have only been used once but have already a tear in the fabric, I don’t like the fabric and would go back to the over shoe covers

better than the previous incarnation
Really nice over socks, the new reflective band is very good and I like that the cleat and heal holes are now pre cut out and stitched, much better than doing it yourself.

Perfect for winter rides & being seen.
Love the bright yellow finish and reflective highlights. Perfect for winter riding and having bright colours on your feet whilst cycling. My only concession to high vis.

Reflective socks
As with most over socks you have to be careful not to pull a muscle getting then on. They are a fit however the heel aperture is too large and is awkward to position.

I looove tall cycling socks but overshoes and oversocks just arent tall enouh. Also reflective yarn helps me be seen in early morning low light conditions. LOVE THEM

Socking great
Great idea for chilly but not too rainy days, on coldest days I’ve used with overshoes for extra warmth. Nice quality could be a tad bigger for size 11/47 sidi shoes

Refelctive Oversocks
Great overall simple product, especially with the reflective portion. An improvement would be a thicker front face for better wind and even a light rain protection.

Stylish but not particularly functional
I love the way these socks look, especially the length but the fabric has little elasticity which makes putting them on frustrating and the material easily tears.

Extremely hard to pull over road shoe
I have had these socks for over a month. I purchased the largest size for a Sidi road shoe size 45. It takes a lot of work and time to pull these over my shoes.

Great colour match
I bought these for colder rides. They fit over my thicker over shoes and match nicely with some of my other Rapha kit. The reflective stripe is a nice touch too.

Effective oversocks
This is my second try using a non-water proof overshoe or sock and this version by Rapha is more effective. And it's also water repellent which is great.

BE SEEN!
I got these in pink and I have gotten so many comments about how visible I am on the road. Being seen, especially in the darker months, is so important!

Highly Visual !
Great sock to wear to be seen and stay warm on crisp mornings. Somehow poked a hole in the bottom of one where that surface never touches the ground!

Not the best Rapha product
To hight, not enough stretch makes them difficult to both put on and take off. Also tend to slip up at the back heel so they dont cover the shoes.
