Somewhere the cover goes over the tongue. I'm gonna keep wearing them until I can't.
The problem with any sort of waterproofing footwear isn't the footwear itself but what's worn on the legs. If you are wearing tights then as soon as they get wet the water seeps down. For full water proofing you need some kind waterproof pants that go over your waterproof footwear.
