Safety warning; PRO overshoes

[MartinM]

I got some of these from G Butlers at Christmas. Very nice, they are the
ones with velcro fastenings down the side and just a bit for the toe and a
velcro strap on the base of the shoe. After a few hours riding the bit on
the front under the toe creeps back and gets stuck somehow in Look cleats. A
good yank sees them free but be aware that they don't release anything like
as easily as you might expect.

it's not just that particular make of overshoe, but quite a few are
capable of jamming in cleats. Don't take it out on the PRO types, just
as a general warning for users of any overshoe with larhe cleats
