    That said I got A pair of enduras a few weeks ago, they are not water proof, but they do keep your feet warm.
    The water comes up from the cleat hole I reckon as I had water proofs over the ankle strap, when I landed home that was dry but the base and shoes wet.
    I think even if one were to come up with a water proof pair the sweat coming from the inside would be just as bad. I'm using mountain boots for commuting, not euro but dry!

    Duct tape solves that problem.

    Candle wax into any holes in the sole.

    Cling film under the overshoes.

    Then you just have to get the sweat glands surgically removed.

    You could try a pair of these as well as an overshoe, I have some altura overshoes for the last 2 years and have been fine until this winter possibly because I wasnt cycling with dirty great big mudguards and flaps this year until the last couple of weeks when I went back to my commuting bike. I have just bought some Sportful overshoes,not yet tried as i want to destroy the altura first ! A bit of wax or grease around the seam of the overshoe should help as well.

    correction on those shoes,
    a) SPD...
    b) 1 reviewer: '
    Good warm comfy Shoes to ride in, comfy off the bike too. If you want dry feet, wear binbags over them. Out of 2 rides in the wet Ive come back with my feet swimming in them.
    Not impressed with the waterproofness.' !!!:o
