After too many rides with wet feet inside my Dr. Martens, I decided that riding in the rain might require some boots that would keep the water on the outside.  After researching a bit, I found these, and took a shot.  In short, Im very pleased.  They take a bit of time to lace up, and get right, but after doing so, the zipper will let your feet in and out, provided you didn't get them too tight.  They are comfortable to wear all day which I like since Im not much into changing my shoes for my day to day life.  In the rain they do what they are supposed to and keep the water out.  Since Ive gotten them, the termperatures have been >35F so thats the lowest I can attest to, and they have been plenty warm. Get these boots and get our and ride.
