How to Make Waterproof Shower Cap Shoe Covers or Gaiters

Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Not bad for over the top and toe area. Now, I need an idea to stop the rain getting in the sides of the shoes! Anne
 
I am playing with idea to use simple hospital/construction plastic cover shoes, then duck tape around the shoes. The sole will rip off pretty fast, but duck tape should keep it in place... I don't know.... I am confused... I absolutely hate walking in wet shoes, but I also don't like waterproof shoes....
 
Altus 24 Liters daypack (DENON 24 H30)
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
I like the idea and am going to play with it as well. My focus is on diverting the runoff from my rain pants, which tends to soak my "waterproof" boots. I've looked at gaiters but they don't look effective enough for that purpose to warrant the weight and bother.
 
Hey Travellover!! Hope we see you on the 31st of May!! (check on the Events Tab/Calendar!) But...back to the topic on the thread..I think this is freaking brilliant! Somewhere on the FB APOC page I think I posted pics of my feet on the Camino Portuguese! Truly hideous and all but I wound up using...plastic bags!! mismatched to boot! One green one white. Really one of my finer moments! I'd stepped off the road into nearly shin deep muck! I dried my feet at the next tiende and put on dry socks, then the bags and after draining my sloppy wet and muddy shoes, put them back over everything. It kept my feet dry and warm and no blisters!! It was odd feeling but it worked ok for the day. This is a terrific, cheap and most importantly...light weight option. Certainly worth having a look at it while your still here at home. I think if you don't pull it too far over the foot it might actually wear pretty well. I will definitely be giving this a try.
