<b>$40</b> Extreme Cold Weather Army boot. I wear them for dog-sledding in Minnesota at like - 30 F. They are all rubber boots. But they have a felt layer that is completely sealed off by the rubber. So you can sweat while standing in a puddle and the insulation still stays 100% dry. Even fleece/wool lose some insulation power when damp. You can mimic the effect in other waterproof boots. Start with polypro liner socks inside plastic inside fleecey socks. Either way, your feet won't be wet so much as bathed in steam heat.

I wear BOGS too - they're boots, but I felt like sharing my love for that brand. Completely waterproof, comfortable, and warm. I love, love love, Bogs!<br />

Good shoe recommendations, thanks everyone. Adrian I am going to check out those sealskinz.<br />

If you want to look business casual these waterproof Rockport oxfords are pretty low-key. They look good for at least a year. (After that they make you look like a guy who isn't too hung up on how he looks.) They obviously don't cut it during drenchers but they're ok for lighter rain or shorter commutes.<br />

Anything with Gore-tex or Thinsulate is good. both, if you can get footwear with them.<br />
<br />
I wear Matterhorn boots in the wintertime. Matterhorn can be a bit pricey, but they have many styles of boots and shoes and they are worth it. My first pair of Matterhorn boots lasted nine years. I will be on the third winter of my second pair now.

I say go for the overshoes. And yes, NEOS are great! Or, if you are looking for cheap, basic overshoes you can also check at the Army/navy surplus store.

They definitely have a cross-training / hiking look to them, but so does almost anything that is waterproof. I have owned a few pairs for hiking, and they work very very well while also lasting far longer thna other shoes. I would say any shoe you can find treated with gore tex is probably going to hold up well in wet weather. In my opinion, though, even allegedly "waterproof" items will get soaked if you are riding in a complete downpour for long enough.<br />
<br />
Seal skinz socks are also another option: <a href="http://www.sealskinz.com">http://www.sealskinz.com</a>. Mixed with a gore tex shoe, it think it would take one hell of a storm for water to reach actual skin.

Hey, had the same problem 2 winters ago and stumbled across BOGS or BOGGS made for fishing and stuff they breath well and are super tough. Come in both boot and shoe, love the shoe my self. No laces just slide on and off. Shoes.com has em and zappos.com I think as well. Think I paid like $20 with shipping so very worth the cash. Hope this helps out.<br />
