A side note to why I said you need waterproof overshoes:
People argue a lot about keeping dry of keeping warm. In the case of a normal ride on a chilly and wet day here in Holland (equal to UK) I'd say try to keep em as warm as possible once their wet, they will get wet anyway at some point.
But on a tour, and I assume it is a tour in the summer months, you can expect some rain as well. In this case you want to keep dry at all costs because you cant just go home and change or bring 5 pair of dry socks. You dont get cold feet until they get wet. And you want want your shoes to get wet either because you dont know what the next day will be like. You dont know if your shit is gonna dry before you head out the next ride. Try to keep everything dry!
