They are VERY expensive, even compared to the Burleys. REI has some that look like the Pearl Izumi neoprene jobs I already got, and Carradice makes some that look "1910 state-of-the-art."<br /><br />Of course, this presumes that Tracy MEANT to say "keeping your feet DRY."Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-50754235226838002552010-10-25T15:35:21.907-05:002010-10-25T15:35:21.907-05:00I carry a pair of Burley waterproof shoe covers in...I carry a pair of Burley waterproof shoe covers in my pannier that do a pretty good job of keeping your feet wet IF you're wearing them under regular rain pants.

I've never tried it myself, but I've found that fenders and a large mudflap for the front wheel keeps most of the water away from my shoes. If they get soaked, I stuff them with newspaper at work to help them dry quicker. Change the paper once or twice and they're dry by go-home time.Ed Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02661476789768156794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523357558654725888.post-90801574460657898362010-10-23T19:23:59.040-05:002010-10-23T19:23:59.040-05:00That rain commute route looks rather beautiful.

Recently I bought a waterproof road cycling jacket made of some fancy material, and it is blessedly silent.

Another option is the old plastic grocery bag (or produce bag, they're really good and thin and easy to steal from your local supermarket) over your foot underneath your shoe is also pretty good. Your feet will sweat, and your shoes get wet, but overall its pretty comfy.<br /><br />You ride a long way for work though...<br /><br />I'm gonna stop rambling now.RANTWICKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394479078513545568noreply@blogger.com
