Sugoi Resistor Booties Review
The Sugoi Resistor Booties are very simple, yet effective in design. They slip over most technical bike shoes and are held in place by stretchy fabric, elastic, and a rear zipper. I tried them over my Keen commuter shoes and they didn’t fit, at all. On road shoes or technical MTB shoes they fit snugly.
The PU coating does a good job with shedding water and wind. After a 3 hour wet ride my feet were still dry. The fleece lining provides some warmth, but it isn’t substantial. On super cold days I’ll pair the Resistor Booties with thick socks to keep my toes toasty.
Sugoi included a couple of reflective accents, which are nice, but as a commuter I’d like to see more. If you need the booties it’s probably raining which means visibility is lower. More reflective details would be a nice add.
The Good
- Solidly waterproof
- Good fit
The Bad
- Could use some more reflective detailing
Bottom Line:
Great option for weather protection for your feet on cold, wet rides.
