+1. I have Adidas neoprene booties, but I don't have clipless pedals, I run PowerGrips or standard toeclips. Getting booties into standard toe clips is a pain, but doable. With PowerGrips it ain't happening. I use produce bags or regular shopping bags over socks and inside the shoe. I bake bread, I never have enough bread bags as it is. There are none to use as shoe liners. It would have to be an extremely long ride to cause serious soaking of my feet, from the inside, in plastic bags. They 'just' begin to get damp at around 7 miles. 10 miles is the limit of what I have tried. At ten miles, the rest of me is SOAKED, no matter what I am wearing, but my feet will be the driest part of me. Good thing cuz I really hate wet feet.
