I recently bought a pair of tourmaster boot covers made of waterproof nylon with taped seams. They slip over the toe leaving part of the sole and heel free.They have elastic around the heel area and a piece going under the arch of the boot to hold them snug, they fasten down the back with velcro and snaps, and are about 16 inches high.
For the money about 18 dollars they are pretty good and do the job. I have ridden in heavy rain a couple of times so far.
I got them for long trips in the rain as I dont have my trusty para boots over here with me and don't have the money to buy a fancy pair of goretex type riding boots at the moment. I wouldn't think they would stand up to lots of stop go city riding and wouldn't want to use them for that as I think they are best suited to keeping feet dry for long rides in the saddle which I'm about to do. They'll save me getting wet feet and miserable and thats worth more than I payed for them!
