£20-25 budget, only expect 1 winter out of them.
whats good?
I just buy them whenever Lidl/Aldi are doing them. There may well be better out there but they do get a hard life so I don't want to spend a lot and they do the job.
Planet X Neoprene overshoes. £10, fairly tough so should last a while.
The Endura neoprene ones are superb. Use them all winter on the road bike. And a fair bit of autumn and spring. And summer. The joys of riding in Scotland.
Endura FS260. The slick ones, not neoprene. I reckon on one year of use out of them but they're great while they last. These can be had for about £22, they're super light and pack down well and they're waterproof.
What pedals and shoes are you using? Different ones for different combinations.
+1 for the planet x velcro neoprene ones. No zips to gunk up and durable enough for a winter or 2. Often £5 for extra cheapness too.

The ones with velcro closures, zips gum up and corrode, stretchy ones only stretch so much...
Oh and oversocks are worth a try for coldish dry days they trap a bit of heat, but breath a bit better...

Neoprene makes my feet clammy. I use fleece lined fabric overshoes from dhb.
Any cheap ones without a zip. Velcro only. Zips are a silly idea on overshoes. And buying expensive ones is even more silly.
Velotoze MYB version I’d say, I’ve just got a pair after reading some great reviews online.
If it's for the road, the best thing I've ever bought is the endura slip-ons - just stretchy neoprene, no zip, no velcro. Superb!
Endura all the way, plus some Castelli toe thingys for autumn days.
BBB heavy duty for me; I think I got two years out of my first pair and have just broken out a fresh set.
Nothing to add, but thanks for the reminder that I need new ones. I have a pair of black ones in the cupboard but I need a pair of yellow for commuting in.
Are people using these on mob as well?

Yep, this. They're not overly exciting but certainly do the job and last OK too. And pick up a pair of toe-caps too, brilliant for not full overshoe but need something to take the edge off weather.
