Interesting product, but it does not prevent your shoes from getting wet, just your socks and feet?

That is fine if you can just bring an extra pair of shoes.

I just wear my work / dress shoes to work, and the rainpants with shoe covers are the way to go in my opinion. No need for a change of shoes, socks or whatever, everything stays dry. Combined with a good rain jacket, I can literally wear a nice suit, zip off my jacket and rainpants when I arrive, and walk to my desk.

I don't change / shower when I commute because it is only a 10 min easy ride. I see most commuters here in full bike gear, but to me it does not make sense for a short commute to take the time to shower, change, etc. Must be my European upbringing. You don't shower and change riding your bike to the store or around town, so why would I for biking to work? (I did shower when my commute was 1.5hrs by bike, but anything under 30 mins I wouldnt).
