Neoprene is waterproof, but it's not breathable and sweat builds up inside of them terribly. Long ago I was told (and found it to be true) that neoprene booties (as opposed to toe covers) are nearly worthless. They quickly lead to soaked cold feet. One way to warm dry feet that has worked very well for me is goretex sox over fleece or wool liners. I think the pair I have were marketed under the name sealskins, but they seem a bit different than the ones Bruce linked to. Anyway really works well (though of course your shoe still gets soaked).
