I've been wearing basic planet-x neoprene overshoes, over Pearl Izumi MTB shoes and Sealskinz.
Feet get slightly moist (mainly from sweat) but the overshoes keep them nice and warm.

+1 for PRO overshoes, despite the cringing brand name ;)

BTW, sweet locking technique! I'm now assured the car park is secure.

Timely bump, I bust the zip on my Pro MTB overshoes over the winter and binned them and in anticipation of ride home tonight picked up the Endura MT500 MTB overshoes at lunchtime.
5 stars from me. Over an hour on the road and toes and feet lovely and dry with just a touch of water coming over the top onto my socks.

Actually looking around myself. I killed a couple pairs of Pro overshoes, and was thinking of going for the Northwave winter boots or better over shoes. The MT500 were on my shortlist.

If I can try on some Gaernes I might go for one of these.

I find the Endura overshoes to be pretty good, as far as overshoes go.

I have a pair of thick Condor own brand neoprene overshoes. They are superb in heavy rain and let little if no water in.

I have these and they are good, however a neoprene ankle cuff would stop them filling with water.

^this, I stole MOC's hiking gaiters and they do the job very well, it would be nice if they built something like that in though

i have the mt500s
the zip at the back of the achilles tendon rubs badly on me
it felt a little painful the first time i wore them (a 10 mile ride)
by the time i got home it had worn through the skin down to the tendon

I bought some prendas ones which are ok, (and don't rub at the back) but my feet were still a bit soggy this evening. It's a bit too warm to get the winter boots out just yet though, and they are bloody heavy.

Maybe you should take out your shoe horns first?

Hmmmmm. My feet love northwave. My road shoes are the best fitting sports shoes I've ever owned. I have plenty of gators etc. I also wear merino cross country skiing socks all winter. Which work well when wet. Should be able to sort cosy feet.

I don't dress myself. Clearly I need a new valet. I understand you have hung up the needle and thread, want a new job?

http://lacemine29.blogspot.com/search?q=shoe+systemI posted a similar thing on one the winter-ish threads. Its cheaper to use those fleecey camping slipper-booties you can pick up for a tenner or so. wack them over some bike shoes and some over shoes over that, and your sorted. Take 30mins to get the bloody things off or on though.

http://lacemine29.blogspot.com/search?q=shoe+systemBrilliant, basically home made Bunny Boots with an SPD cleat.
Vapour barriers layers are only really sensible for properly cold temperatures though, like -20 C

Round my way people use bread bags and elastic bands to keep the shoes dry.
