They are the cheapy Aldi ones, so I didn't expect them to be amazing (although the quality of their other stuff has been good to be fair).

It's basically like the bit covering the toe is too big, although they seem the right size for my shoes overall. I could try sewing them, but that would make them smaller overall, and probably make them less waterproof

i used the aldi ones for a winter i was forever pulling the toe forward as it seemed to underlap with the leading nose of my (spd-sl) cleat. i learned to slow down with traffic to spare having to unclip and then having to lean down to tweak them on the move. when the zips bust i figured they'd be been good for the money!
