    been looking at overshoes, and everyone still states they get wet. get urself a pair of sealskin socks instead. that way it doesnt matter if they are wet because ur feet are bone dry and warm!

    Overshoes protect your shoes, keep your feet reasonably dry and also keep them nice and warm. You can get some that claim to be waterproof but I don't see how they can be when they have holes in the bottom for your cleats! I've got some PBK overshoes and gloves and both are superb.

    Planet-X neoprene overshoes. Never had wet feet despite mountain biking through the Cairngorms in dreadful winter weather. Warm too.
