Best overshoes for road use during winter?

Search gives me a load of great advice for MTB overshoes, but I'm looking for something neat (dry/warm) and simple that means when I ride in the cold/wet I don't get freezing/soaking feet...

I wear Shimano R105 shoes (47, even though I'm a size 10.5).

Thanks, Francis

    I've bought loads of overshoes over the years and most seems to fall to bits straight away. However I found a solution:

    Endura mt500 overshoes

    I got mine free, but I'd definitely buy them if I needed some in the future. Rubber at the heels and toes mean they don't wear out as much as the simple neoprene ones, they are very warm as well. They might be MTB ones, but they do fine on the road.
    I like bikes...

    Pro NPU+ or H20, both are awesome.

    The new pro's look far too blingy! The graphics are awful... far too overstated!

    I use the new Prendas Ciclismo ones. With a pair of Rapha Winter Merino socks my feet are very cosy

    i use craft thermo overshoes. they are fantastic, totally warm and more importantly waterproof.... have a nice high cuff too, to stop water leaking in. HIGHLY recommended
