Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
Toe covers work great in cool weather and occassionaly in cold weather if you supplement them with toe warmer packs. Elastic around cleat opening seams to wear easily, however I am on my second spring/fall of riding on them and they haven't failed yet. If you tend to ride/commute in weather colder than 35 degF you will want to invest in the full boot shoe covers or winter riding shoes.

Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
This works well on slightly chilly days, say high 50's to low 60's. However, anything below about 57 and you'll have pretty cold toes. They run small and are hard to get on at first, but loosen up as you use them. Even though they are of limited use on their own, they add some warmth/wind protection when worn under full shoe covers, which is how I use them most. Low price makes them a decent buy, even if you won't use them all that often.

Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
I purchased the L/XL size for my Specialized cycling shoes (size 45, which is equivalent to US Men's 11), and the toe warmers are too small. Specifically, they cover the cleat, making them impossible to wear while riding.
I can't say whether or not these toe warmers really do a good job of keeping your feet warm because they're too small. Unfortunately, I bought the largest size available.

These covers are perfect on cold morning. You can even tuck a hand warmer in for longer rides. They are so easy to put on & take off. They are small, but do the job.

Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
This product looked like a good idea to keep my toes from going numb and the price was right. Trouble was they kept coming off my clip shoes on a trail ride. I ended up leaving them in the woods.

Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
These half booties are great for cool days >40 degrees. These are easy on and easy off. Small and easy to stow. I wear SPDs and these fit just fine. Only problem is that they wear out quite quickly when I walk around a lot. The frayed ends can then catch on SPD pedals and cause falls (my only complaint).

Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
I thought I would give it a try, but not particularly useful. They are not compatible with spd recessed cleats. The bootie creeps over the cleats making it impossible to engage the pedal

These are great for those semi-frosty mornings or cooler days. Also great for use in the winter months with triathlon shoes that have lots of ventilation.

I wear them in cold weather cycling 30 to 40 degree weather. They fit perfectly over my cycling shoes.

Comments about Pearl Izumi Calientoes Toe Warmers:
I got the L/XL and they are a tight fit over my Euro 43 shoes. I also have a pair of neoprene booties for really cold weather, but if I'm going on a long ride, and it will be heating up later, they're too hot, and too big to take off and stuff in my pockets. Cycling shoes are generally made to be breathable, but that lets in cold air. These keep the cold air out and make all the difference. I'd also ridden with them (and me) soaking wet, and they still keep the cold air off the toes.
If you're going out in sub-freezing temps, get full neoprene. But if you want to keep the edge off on an early morning commute, these can be just the ticket.
