    I use these. Perfect for the money. Nice and snug around the shin but not completely waterproof. Then again what overshoe is?? This is my 2nd winter with the same pair so they seem fairly durable..

    I can't link from here but I have the Pro Tarmac NPU Overshoes. Also on my second winter (of heavy use) with them and they show no signs of falling apart yet. They are nice and warm and don't let anything in until you're a very long way into a ride. Even then your feet don't get cold.

    +1 on the BBB overshoes. Have been using them for several years now and find them pretty good for the price.

    They keep your feet warm rather than dry but I'd prefer wet toes to wet and blue toes any day. They also keep all the road crud off your shoes, which will therefore still look half decent when summer comes around again.

    I have BBB ones - not the ones linked as they are a neoprene type and mine are a thinner but water-repellent type material. They're a bit thin for the cold but I use a thin pair of cheap neoprene ones under these (cheap decathlon ones) and this combination has worked well for me so far. I'll look for a link now

    bbb water proof are pretty good but not 100% water proof, they are about 30 euros

    I have those BBB Heavyduty ones, and maybe it's just me, but I don't find them particularly good at keeping the cold out. They are heavy duty though, I've been wearing them for two winters now and there's only minimal wear on them.

    I have the Planet X ones. I got them as part of a bundle with some lights and other stuff, so they worked out really cheap. I don't have anything to compare them with, but I find them great.
