I have some Gore ones made from Windstopper fabric. I have not used them yet, so I can't comment, have only had them a week. Some at the store said they are not waterproof, only for the cold. I got the XL size, they just barely fit over my Serfas size 45 shoes and they are too small to fit over my size 10.5 Keen Commuter III Sandals because the Keen is too wide.

In the past when it gets between about 35 and 45 (F), I often put a scrap of plastic from a shopping bag over my sock in the toe area before I put my shoe on, that is intended to block the wind that comes in thru the shoe mesh vents. But not a full plastic bag, I want them to breath, so only over the toe area. Below about 35 (F) I used hiking shoes, but I got these shoe covers to try to extend my cycling shoes to lower temperatures.
