Review on ๐Ÿšด ReflecToes Version 2: Full Reflective Winter Cycling Shoe Covers - Waterproof, Windproof, Rear Zipper - Men & Women by Aaron Shaw

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It makes you visible to cars!

Everyone knows that feeling when a car gets too close! Before I used those Reflec toes (okay, I'm not lying about the name either), I thought people were just idiots. Now I know riders don't realize they're on a bike until it's too late to adjust. Before purchasing I wore a turn signal on my helmet and a turn signal on my bike, but cars still buzzed me. Now cars change to another lane and even blink before returning to our lane. My theory is that the flashing red lights look like a car being slung over one's shoulder, but these flashy trophies are going around in circles looking like either a bike or an alien - either way, moving cars, I guess. A word of caution: either go a size larger than you think you need, or prepare for a pre-ride upper body workout by slipping them over your cycling shoes.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Weight
