If the wind is the thing that is getting to you, than a cheap alternative is putting plastic bags over your toes before you put on your shoes. This effectively blocks the wind if you are wearing shoes that do not already do that.
It just depends where you live... cycling shoes tend to be designed for warmer weather and are well vented, the interface between the cleat and shoe is a point where water can enter.
I ride with my touring shoes which are sealed better up top, warmer, and have sealed the sole / cleat to prevent them from drawing in water... and then shoe covers go on in cooler weather.
