Summer - oversocks or wet feet?
So the glorious British summertime is in full swing. For my ride on Sunday I currently anticipate a rain jacket and knee-warmers. However, my overshoes (like most) don't cling to the leg at the top, being designed for use with tights. If I wear them with shorts/knee-warmers, then 1. the rain will run down my bare calf and into the shoe, making them pointless, and 2. I'll look as odd as a lemonade sandwich.
So does anyone know of waterproof summer oversocks or should I just man up and get wet feet?

I find merino socks from endura are nice and thin but keep my feet warm even when wet.
You should be working hard enough that any rain is a welcome refreshment.
Man up and screw the cleats straight into the soles of your feet.
You skin is protection enough from the elements.
