Saki, I remember you were looking for rain boots, I found these, I though they would be handy for Scotland (I'll be going in September), I am ordering two pairs, they are interchangeable left/right, so I figure I will have two spares. They pack very small.

Wow, those are a great price and pack very small. I bought my husband some NEO overshoes when he went to Norway in the winter, but they were about $30. You've found a great product!

Californian, my question is, if you know, what size are women sizes. I usually wear 9, 9.5 so which size should I order?

Saki, I wear 9 1/2-10, I called, they told me to order medium, my shoes are bulky, so I ordered a pair M and a L. I plan to keep them both, since they are inexpensive, and same shipping charges, don't know how long will take, if you can wait, I'll let you know.

Californian ~ Thanks so much for the info about the shoe covers
 I have bought some great new walking shoes & have water-proofed them but they have a suede-y look & I have wondered if they would water mark. We will be in Scotland & Ireland later in the year so I need to prepare for liquid sunshine.  Live each day....instead of counting the years. |

What tour are you taking Dimpz, and when are you going? Scottie |

Here's a useful site where you can see Scotland's average rainfall and sunshine. It's metric. Glasgow, for example, gets about 80mm of rain in August, which is about 3.1 inches.
http://international.visitscot...info/Climate/climate Also read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Scotland The Western Highlands are the wettest, but the East of Scotland gets less rain in some places than Sydney and Barcelona! That was eye-opening for me. |

We are taking a TT of the U.K. & then after a 3 day break we take a TT of Spain, Portugal & Morocco. We leave Sydney 18th August & have some free time in London before the 1st tour. Live each day....instead of counting the years. |

Caitie ~ Thank you they are very interesting sites. I was once told that Sydney had a greater amount of rainfall per annum than London  I think we have shorter more heavy downpours where London has mizzle (misty drizzle) that can last days.  Live each day....instead of counting the years. |

My recent UK/Scotland tour was very wet. I wore a new pair of Keen walking shoes with a Gortex liner. No wet feet and very comfortable.

I have been searching to see if I can find similar shoe covers in Australia, to the ones in the link that Californian has posted. So far no luck!
I love my new walking shoes, they are light as a feather & very comfortable. I wear them every day on my regular walk, but I am not game to slop through puddles to test them to see if they are waterproof. They still have their new look & I want to keep that as long as I can, or at least until we have completed this years tours. Live each day....instead of counting the years. |

Dimpz, have you tried snow outfitters?
When all else fails, plastic bags. It is such a good look. Life is better on a bike. The phrase slayer. |

Dimpz, My walking shoes which I took on my last tour are also a suede finish and I waterproofed them before I left. I am pleased to say that after several days walking in rainy weather they stood up to the test and as for comfort for my feet - I couldn't wait to put them back on again the next morning!!!
