Which do you wear? What do you recommend? I'm looking for SPD cleats, dry feet in the worst downpour. I don't live in an extremely cold climate, just need enough warmth for 35F. I don't live in snow country so I don't need deep sole lugs. I guess my need is really rain shoes more than winter shoes.

Or, tell me how to make my ventilated cycling shoes waterproof. I currently use booties but my feet still get soaked. Water must come through the cleat backing plate.
I would just use neoprene covers (Castelli are my favorites). 35F is not cold enough for a specific cold weather cycling shoe, IMO. For colder, I do wear the Lake 303's. They seem to work pretty well.
