Anyone have any suggestions for booties that work well with Shimano MTB shoes.

Pearl Izumi made an amfib mountain shoe cover, but a quick google search shows them being discontinued, but a few shops seem to have them...
Besides that, take a road shoe cover and get creative with some scissors? Booties never seem to work that great on MTB shoes, so best of luck.

I use the Gator All-terrain booties, a simple, think neoprene cover with zipper at the rear.

I use Trek booties and they have worked fine over MTB shoes. I wear a 43 though, and the booties are rather large, so it might just be that. They have been very durable for me though which is always nice.

I can tell you that the PI Barrier MTB covers do NOT work with Shimano MTB shoes. They barely work with my road shoes and they arent very warm either. I use the basic SideTrak neoprene covers on my MTB shoes.

SideTrak neoprene booties are the best you will find, I am on my second pair over the course of 15 years.
But see if you can find a pair of winter shoes on sale in the summer. They are so nice!

I've also been using the Sidetrak neoprene booties for years. Not waterproof but keep the feet warm and they go on and off easily.
Echoing others--the Lake winter boots are on sale now, keep searching the web till you find a pair in your size. I picked up a pair last spring, ordered one size up from regular shoes, very warm and roomy for the toes.
