It works surprisingly well. Even when I add time to my rainy-day rides by running errands, my feet remain comfortable.
My commute is 19.1 miles and i made it in 1hr and 13min this morning. Surprisingly the bags are still keeping my feet dry throughout this day even though my shoes are currently soaked. I may have to try what you're doing.
