The GripGrab Flandrien Waterproof Knitted Road Shoe Covers were inspired by the classic 'Belgian Bootie' – used by Flandrien riders for decades.
These shoe covers are only suitable for road cycling shoes. Although they may fit over your gravel or MTB shoes, the tread pattern and enhanced studs on the soles of non-road shoes will likely and quickly cause fabric damage, regardless of whether you walk around in them or not, and void the product's warranty.
When taking to the road in autumn and winter, the GripGrab Flandrien Waterproof Knitted Road Shoe Covers are your best choice.
This modern take on the knitted cover sock keeps all the attributes of its historic predecessor: the soft fabric, stretch and close-fitting cut – but propels it into the modern age through water-resistant membrane technology.
These shoe covers will shrug off showers, keep your feet dry and let you glide through puddles without concern. They are luxuriously soft and comfortable, but also feature reinforcement to the hems on the underside to reduce wear.
The Flandrien Knitted Road Shoe Covers are minimalist in style and subtly branded; yet they deliver the height of modern technology. They will keep you comfortable in all weather conditions, while preserving that true Classics style.

To help reduce water seeping in through the top of this shoe cover we recommend you wear your water-resistant leg warmers or cycling bib tights over the top of the shoe cover cuff. We also recommend you seal vents and holes in the soles of your road cycling shoes to limit water ingress from below. Following these tips will ensure you get the best performance from this product – and remember: road shoes only.
Will they keep my feet dry?
Yes. The membrane in these shoe covers is waterproof, so assuming you don’t damage this membrane they will keep your feet dry. There are limits however… hosepipes and knee-deep puddles for example, will likely find a way inside.
Will they keep my feet warm?
These shoe covers are most suited to cool and mild conditions and can be used in cold conditions depending on the rider's preference. While the waterproof membrane will help a lot with keeping you warm, this is not a deep winter product and we do not advise wearing it on cold or sub-zero long rides.
Can I use them with SPD shoes for MTB and gravel riding?
No. They are only suitable for road cycling while wearing road cycling shoes. Although they might fit over your gravel or MTB shoes, the tread pattern and enhanced studs on the soles will likely cause fabric damage, regardless of whether you walk around in them or not, and void the product's warranty.
