What shoes are good for working in wet conditions?

Okay, next winter one of you snow-dwelling northerners are going to have to do the experiment. Two feet, two socks, two shoes ... but only one bread bag. Randomly allocate the bag to one foot, place it between sock and shoe, go for a walk in the snow and slush. Report back.
If you have super sensitive scales you could even weigh the socks to see if they're different.

We tried bread bags mountain biking in wet winter conditions. They didn't seem to do better than wool socks because of the sweat.

One nice thing about the newspaper bags on little feet is that it makes slipping the boots on an awful lot easier.
