When I finish a wet ride (commute or other) the shoe is wet more on the inside, more on the sole. The water has wicked up my socks to chill my feet. If I could keep my feet dry it would be so much nicer. I'm planning on some boots for when the snow flies, but shoes and covers are more practical when it's only kinda wet, but raining, if I can find a way to keep the feet dry. Any thoughts on what be done?

I use them as vapor barriers for bc skiing, for running and hiking in the rain, and for keeping my feet warm and dry in the rain.........
