I've used waterproof socks before, during my rowing days (I had SealSkinz). My experience was that they tend to still let a bit of water in from the top, but yeah, they're not a bad solution. The only issue is that I'd prefer to keep the shoes somewhat dry too as I think it'll damage them in the long run if they get soaking wet over and over...

this + mine start to stink pretty bad if i don't get them dried out.
i hate wearing full shoe covers - i've been wearing galibier toe covers this week to offer a bit of protection. they're quite long so almost manage to cover the laced area of my shoes.

Have you tried waterproof socks? I don't know if you'd still run into the issue of being unable to find an appropriate size but I've got a pair of these that I wear whenever it's chucking it down. I've spent 8 hours in torrential rain and my feet have still been dryish before. Don't believe the claim that they're breathable though.
