“I bought a pair of these and it took 20 minutes to get them over my shoes, yes I bought the right size, and could barely do the zip up around my leg since again they were too tight. It's a shame since my previous pair were very good and water tight.”

“I had to return this as it was way too small I ordered a Large size for my size 10s but I think in order to get a fit it would have to be XXL - the overshoes were so small.”

“They look well made but there is something very wrong with the sizing. Bought L as I'm UK 9 which was as per recommendation but absolutely no way I can get them onto my shoes. Might work on my wife's size 5 shoes though!”

“These certainly come up VERY small indeed, only a size 9 and I couldn't even get it over my cycle shoes, ordered XL able to get them over the shoes but then too tight at the top of the sock so I've had to return both L & XL . Shame as they were excellent quality too.”

“The quality of the product is very good (would score 5 stars) but the sizing is nowhere near. I'm a UK size 9 which makes me a Large according to the size guide but I couldn't get it over my MTB shoe (wihich has BOA fasters). So I reordered Extra Large but it was a struggle to get it over my shoe and then when I managed to get it on the zipper wouldn't fasten around my calf (stopped an inch short of fastening). Very disappointing, come on Sealskinz sort your sizing out.”

“I wear a US size 10.5D shoe. The website size guide claims I need a size L Sealskinz-Hempton. Can't get it over my shoe, not gonna happen. Should have listened to my brain and not the size guide when ordering. Order a size larger than the size guide on the website. Fair warning.”

“Very tight initially. Put on a shoe stretcher and that fix the problem. Otherwise very nice product.”

“Haven't recieved yet not quite sure when I ordered (ordered 25 Nov) them but took along time to arrive over a week. Had to send back ( sent back tracked on 5th Dec as size L too small and still waiting (even though my exsisting sealskins are medium). Apparently black Fridays success is to blame for there failure. Sealskinz have still not been in touch to let me know what's going on.”
