Word of warning. I bought the J&G shoe covers. And they are not waterproof. I settled on the Showers Pass heavy-duty shoe covers. They're expensive. But worth it. You can fit almost any kind of shoe in these. They look to be high quality as far as duration counts. We'll see.
...My thoughts on Rain Gear. If your going to be riding 200 days a year. You'd be wise to get the best rain gear you can. To make that ride much more comfortable. I ride 365 days. And no matter the weather. I try to stay as comfortable as I can. I get my clothes when they're on sale. I have a Showers Pass Century that I use year round. In the winter I use Sporthill as a baselayer to keep me nice and toasty. They're not cheap either. But by doing 'searches'. I found their stuff at less than 50% off. Their XC pants are top of the line.
