Last winter I used bootie covers (not the kind for my hiney) but this year I bought Specialized Defrosters. They are windproof and waterproof. I think next year Specialized will offer these in ladies sizes but since I wear a 43 I can get by with the men's.

I also vote for PI Calietoes.
Careful though, they do tear pretty easily when you go down under the bike...slips are normal in wet/winter...lucky they're cheap
