I live in a very rainy place (esp in the autumn and winter), and since i started cycling to work I ruined 2 pairs of shoes in the rain.

Do you guys have recommandations for sneakers which look like actual sneakers but are 100% waterproof (not just water resistant)?

Have you considered a shoe protection instead? Often rain pants cover most of the shoe anyways, so my shoes stay reasonably dry over 15-30 minute commutes. (Not sport shoes, those get wet on sight of rain, not even the need of an actual rain dropโ€ฆ -.- )
