Overshoes falling down

Triathlon Forum
1

I bought nice Rule 34 overshoes. I crashed last year and tore up my Nopinz ones. Mistake made. Those never fell down because they chose a more compliant gripper instead of stiff silicone or something.

I don’t have time to wait for a vendor reply. Any suggestions or success using kinesiology tape or something?

Otherwise this is a waste of money and aero. Some AliExpress crap I tried and tested that are older are the same.

So maybe have to just use my tried and true training Specialized aero socks.

Sooo disappointed in this product. Nice build but if an item fails at primary purpose it is useless. That gripper got like two drops of sweat during an outdoor hard “trial run” workout and immediately slid down.

I’ve seen people use hair spray on their leg (shaved) and pull the sock up whilst it’s wet

When I made my own overshoes, before long ones were a thing, I used to just put a loop of electrical tape round as there was no gripper. Now with a gripper then hairspray mostly works.

I may try some 3M Super 77 this weekend with a spare similar AliExpress pair of covers the day before to see if hairspray style stuff works.

And stop by store for kinesiology tape also.

Double up the effort.

Something like this should do the trick:
