I don't understand neoprene shoe covers, neoprene is designed to keep you warm when wet, like wetsuit, not for waterproof. Get a set of REAL waterproof shoe covers, not neoprene. I got the Endura Luminite II overshoe - Endura products - Luminite II Overshoe - E0107

I have a size 45 or 46 and I think I have an XL that fits great. As a bonus, the reflective material on them is great in the dark. I highly recommend these. The other brand I would look at for waterproof is Gore bike wear.
