I live in Portland, and I have found that it is not about keeping my feet dry, it's about keeping them comfortable. I wear thick wool socks with Keens down to near freezing (even in the rain) and Wool socks with Merrells when it is below freezing. Wool will continue to keep your feet warm, even when wet. I lived in Sunnyvale for four years, and I wouldn't wear anything but wool socks and Keens on the bike if I was still there.
