I did a couple of rides Yesterday to test out my new Selle SMP over some longer distances, and the rain was bothersome. Summer weight shoes with no overshoes didn't help, and cold wet feet was the main reason I stopped the morning leg a bit earlier than planned.
As I currently have no intact overshoes or winter weight shoes, I gave the Old Plastic Bag Trick [1] a go for the afternoon ride. After 4 hours of riding (some of it quite damp) my feet were still not sending me any nasty messages. The inner socks were a bit damp with sweat by the end, but still quite comfortable.
[1] Apply in order: merino sock, plastic bag, another sock (the thinnest you can find, just to prevent holes in the plastic bag), cycling shoe, rain.
