I have become pretty good at putting them on. I actually put them on before I leave home, then I leave them in place on my calf/ankle but fold up the toe and heel and tuck them under the ankle opening. I travel to the race, register, warm up, etc with them in place over my sock. And then right before the race, I pull them over the toe and heel of my shoe just before I head off to the race start, its literally the last thing I do.
This moves struggling with the shoe covers to the non-stressed part of race day- getting dressed while still at home- from the pre-race stressed part of the day.
As far as the exact method of putting the covers on- I just do it they way the video on the website shows.

The height of the sock is limited by UCI.

It's weird and unexpected. Somehow it's not about each individual race. Good or bad attitude, I don't know. But it leaves me pretty non-stressed on game day.
