The Windstopper fabric effectively knocks down the wind from turning my toes purple. Like the other reviewer states I would not use them in lower than 30 degree weather. I usually wear a thicker wool sock with these and that is perfect, feet stay warm but do not get hot. They are pretty abrasion resistant too, I had to put my foot down to keep from wiping out once and the front inside of my shoe took the impact and scraping, just wiped off the dirt and they were still looking new. | |

I had used a pair of Cannondale toe protectors last winter, for training rides in New England starting in February. They lasted all winter and lasted for the entire Century that I did in early June in Lake Tahoe. They lasted almost another season this year before they started to rip and show holes on the bottom, so I ordered these GORE protectors in time for the Century Ride this year. I used them one day for 100 miles, and they had big holes in the bottom where I had to get off and walk at rest stops, etc. I was very disappointed to see that for a name like GORE, they didn't hold up, and were twice the cost of the Cannondales. As for warmth, they were less than or equal to the protection of the Cannondales. Save your money and go with Cannondale. | |
