Comments about Showers Pass Club Shoe Covers:
To start off, the product does keep your feet dry. It's like a rain jacket for your shoes. The material is not neoprene or rubbery but is waterproof cloth. But is having rainpant-like material covering your shoes going to hold up as you walk? No, it's going to get scratched and ripped if your not super careful. I used this product on a rainy 2 month tour from Anchorage to San Francisco and used it quite a bit. I loved how it kept my feet dry when others using neoprene shoe covers got soaked. However, the ShowersPass shoe covers ripped on occasion during my trip and consequently I duct-taped the holes.
I wear a size 12 Shimano MTB shoe with a large shoe cover and it doesn't fit snug enough to keep the heel of the shoecover from coming in contact with the pavement. Thus, I walked on my toes when I had these on so that the back zipper was spared.
If you use these on a commute then they might be acceptable, but definitely won't hold up for any length of time on a tour. But they did keep my feet dry! If they sold them for $10 dollars it would be worth it because I view them as disposable quality.

Comments about Showers Pass Club Shoe Covers:
I own two pair of these covers. A small that fit my cleated,racing shoes and a large that cover my commuter/walkable shoe. Both function well as rain covers. Because the commuter covers didn't require a cutout for cleats they have held up the best and this seems to be the best use. They keep my feet dry on my daily commute. For the money, they are an effective form of rain ware.
Comments about Showers Pass Club Shoe Covers:
I don't actually have these shoe covers, so I can't say anything about them. But if you are looking at these, you should also look at the "Tiaga Dry-Foot Cycle Gaiters".
That is what I have and love. They work great in Seattle where it is wet, but not super cold.

Comments about Showers Pass Club Shoe Covers:
These are shoe covers -- you can't expect much! They cover your shoe. They won't look stylish, and they are not meant to walk around in. I gave them 4 stars because I'm actually surprised by their durability and they are very waterproof and windproof. Could they be better? Of course. Do I expect them to be? No.
Fit info: I wear a large to cover a men's 12 hiking shoe. It probably couldn't fit anything larger.

Comments about Showers Pass Club Shoe Covers:
I cycle commute year-round and got these to replace my old burleys. I had a hard time getting these to fit over my street shoes. I ended up getting the XL which are too long for me, but almost wide enough. That makes them all the more clumsy to walk in. I haven't had them a year and have already worn holes in them from rubbing on the crank arms.

Comments about Showers Pass Club Shoe Covers:
I use these for commuting in the Pacific NW. They fit correctly and worked great for about three to four months, although from the beginning, the zippers would occasionally jam. I nearly returned them, but I was able to force the zippers back on track so stuck with them. After about four months the zippers failed completely, because the bottom of the covers frayed so badly that the zippers were no longer attached at the base. Here's the killer: I commute from home to work, and in both cases the bike is kept in a bike locker. The amount of walking I have done in these is absolutely minimal: a few feet each day, mostly on carpet.
They need to reinforce the bottoms and raise the end of the zipper so it isn't so close to the ground. I guess you get what you pay for. A friend swears by the Sugoi booties but they seem to also get mixed reviews. Perhaps I'll just slum it and go with plastic bags. Hey, its recycling!
