winter cycling shoes

[GeX]

I commute to work 6 miles each way. I live in Manchester. It rains and is getting cold. I have flat pedals as I don't like being clipped in.

Normally when the rain starts, I put on my overshoes and then my waterproof trousers. They do a good job, my feet don't get wet but they're a pain to put on and then they need drying / cleaning.

I think it's time I invested in some decent warm, waterproof shoes / boots to wear. I was thinking something like;

Does anyone have experience with them, and can offer any advice?

Non clippy cycling shoes are a thing, I've not seen many waterproof normal shoes that have the gator that extends up from them as in the Northwave shoes I linked without being a boot. I would not be wearing these during the day / walking in them. I'm looking at cycling shoes as I want them to be able to handle driving rain flung at them from all angles yet still keep my feet warm.

Am I wrong here?

ack. I realised after going back to check, I did not intend to link clippy shoes

Thanks for all the replies, I'll pop into somewhere and take a look at some walking / hiking shoes and see if any would be suitable.

Plot twist: lobby your employer to get somewhere you can dry your wet shoes.

I've no problem in drying my wet shoes, I just don't want them to be wet in the first place!
