NEOS 15in Adventurer All Season Waterproof Overshoes

So, I figured the Canadian military and U.S. mail deliverymen must know something about boots, and I needed a tough, light, waterproof overshoe that did what it said it would. Well, I'm very happy with these babies.As luck would have it, it was pouring rain the day after these arrived. I put them on over comfortable walking sneakers, (New Balance). Size 9 1/2 sneakers slipped right in. The Velcro front closure looked like it might be a pain to close, (being a long vertical run), but the flaps lined up and velcroed just fine. The ankle belt snugged the boots without being restrictive or uncomfortable over the top of the sneaker and the tongue/lacing. Good fit up the calf - not too tight/ not too loose. The top of the upper "gaiter" was snug and allowed for pants tuck in. I was afraid the upper, being lighter material, might just sag down to my ankles, but it held up like a boot.Now, the test. I headed out on a two mile trail hike. First off, the outside stairway is painted and slippery/slick in the rain. These boots grabbed and held every step. A big plus. I walked in every puddle and muddy rut. Totally dry and firm footing. Very light and no sense I was wearing any kind of boot or overshoe. No squeaking. Boot flexed nicely when I had to clamber over things. Upper part of boot did not sag. Pants stayed in place. (I'll wear rain pants over the calf when in real use.) No rubbing from the ankle strap. No squeaking or odd sounds. Sneaker did not shift inside boot. Feet did not overheat.At the end I just stood in a puddle in the rain for 15 minutes to give the boots a further chance to leak. When I got home and took the boots off there was zero water infiltration, even along the Velcro strip. The sole hadn't filled up with caked mud, (although to be fair I walked the last bit through clean pine straw and clear water so the boots sort of got washed off. But it didn't seem like these were inclined to get caked up with mud.) Boots came off just as easily as they went on; no messy struggle.The upshot is that these did exactly what I wanted. Waterproof, light, comfortable, grippy. A happy find.

Doesn't matter if it's a foot of snow or pouring rain. Slide these over your shoes and you're gonna stay dry. Good grip and comfort too.

Bought these for our trip to Yellowstone in February! BEST PURCHASE EVER. I was surprised to not see them on anyone upthere. I had locals asking me about them. Went snowshoeing in them over my light weight goretex hiking boots. Plus I wore them through the slushy icy mess in in the streets of Gardiner at night. Never did my feet get cold or sweaty. I wore one pair of lighteight merino wool socks in my boots and the neos over that. The most interesting thing was on longer hikes or snowshoe trips, the moisture from my normally sweaty feet made its way into the NEOS boot, beingcompletely waterproof, the neos had collected the condensation, but my gortex hikers kept that away from my feet, and the NEOS kept out snow,ice and water from the outside. When I first saw this I thought there had been a leak in the over boot, but I never felt any cold which was puzzling at first. I just dry NEOS with a hand towel or paper towels. Sounds odd but that system worked very well. They are super easy to put on and take off so drying them out is easy if you have a long hike and remember to do it on a stop. I dont know if they will make a NEOs with a gortex panel to let some of the moisture escape, which would be a great addition, but these overboots as they are will keep out the elements, i can wear my running shoes in them too, for a slosh through our Houston flood waters to unclog the street drains.

After purchasing a comparable pair of Frogg Toggs which did not size well, I found the NEO Adventurers to be easily half the weight and just as capable. The only deficit I see in my application is that the Adventurer is not tall enough - it could stand another 2 or 3 inches of gaiter-height to come-in just under the knee to ensure a good "hang" at the top of the calf. I work as a shuttle-driver, taking new cars from the assembly line to the rail-head staging area, where snow-clearance is often problematic. Constantly have to pull-up on the gaiter because it slides down the calf. The Adventurer is not insulated in any way, but I knew that going-in. If I tuck-in the legs of my freezer suit, my feet stay warm enough for the job.

This is my first purchase of Neos Overshoes and they seem to be just what I need. I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered the Neos Adventurer size large. They fit over my hiking boots perfectly and are very easy to put on and remove. The are just a little loose when I wear my tennis shoes, but is not a big deal. I like the way the fold up for traveling and do not take up much room. They may not be the most stylish footwear (I think I saw a pair similar to these on the monster "Frankenstein" when I watched the movie) but they do the job of keeping your feet dry. My wife and I are going to a photography workshop next fall in Northern Michigan and the folks that put on the workshop recommended Neos as they have been using them for workshops in Yellowstone, Alaska, and Michigan for many years.

NEOS Boots are the best for outdoor activities. These are New England Over Shoes, the only boots that keep my feet warm and over the decades, I've tried many boots. They run a bit smaller than they used to so instead of a medium, I had to have a large. Amazon made the exchange very easy for me. I highly recommend this product if you want warm and dry feet. Also, ease in making the purchase.

There is guy at work who Cat dozers all winter trenching snow to protect the highways from drifting, he wears these. Guys I meet winter camping wear these. If you want to stay warm and dry like I do, you'll wear these this winter. I don't use them to walk miles and miles in the snow, that's what snow shoes and skis are for. But when you get where you are going, these pack down small enough so they make the trip and serve you when needed the most. They make several styles to fit most needs and conditions. I buy another pair when these wear out, someday.

Awesome fit for me and also fits with my walking spikes. Dry and comfortable to use as a temporary slippers to go outside in the snow and return. Lightweight. Merci from a Canadian army vet

Je connaissais déjà les bottes Neos et j'aime pour mettre pardessus des bottes de constructions. Toutefois faite attention aux grandeur. J'ai des 9 et ca ne rentre pas dans des médium ca prend des larges. Une chance ma femme avait déjà un paire de médium donc j'ai commandé des larges.

I would consider this an essential now since you can still wear your favourite shoes on any type of weather because you can always put this on over it when you are about to go outdoors. Do not hesitate to buy since this is a good investment!

Bought these for my son, who is in the military. I ask him periodically how they are doing... so far, no complaints..

Bought this because it was suppose to be a size large. When I got it the box said large, inside were a pair of XS. A lot of people have been having issues with wrong sizes, be aware of what you’re buying.
