I bought a pair of boot covers because I thought they would be nice to have. To be honest I really don't like them at all. I don't like the way they feel on my boots and they are a pain to put on. I ride in a pair of high quality goretex lined boots and have found that the boots do the job just fine without the covers. I just pull my rain pants over the boots and I haven't had wet feet yet. It might be in your best interest to just get some good goretex boots like I did.
