Last winter I rode around all year with a good pair of waterproof winter boots. But just this summer, I switched over to clipless pedals (which I wish I would have done years ago). As summer cools off, I'll be searching for a clipless shoe and a warm, waterproof overshoe. Lots of these things are made, but they all have the same weakness: The bottom of the overshoe doesn't seal onto the sole of the shoe, allowing water to get in from road spray. Some overshoes are better than others, but none are perfect.

So I got to thinking, why can't the overshoe have a hard sole and a cleat? Then you could wear an ordinary shoe inside the overshoe and still use your clipless pedals. This would be ideal for commuting through the city, allowing you to wear your regular work shoes while getting the benefit of clipless shoes. This setup would also give a benefit of extra warmth, since the bottom of the shoe would be less of a weak spot for cold penetration. Such an overshoe would have to make a very tight fit on your regular shoe to work properly. This would be difficult, but do-able in my opinion.

What about everybody else? What do you wish you had that nobody makes?
