... Implies that sticking it on makes the shoe waterproof... Yeah right.

Yeah, it's been a while since I fell for that one.

Leaks like Mel Gibson in that Jesus film with or without the sticker.

I haven't worn them yet, but I was sticking them on wondering why I'm bothering. Luckily, these are summer shoes....

Shimano shoes have been coming with them for at least 15 years.

I think it's some sort of test.

A good piece of duck tape does the job much better 🙂

Yep, wrap your feet up in Duck Tape first and they may stay dry 😉

Duct tape works even better..I've found duck tape tends to attract water! 😉

Never used mine. Need somewhere in the sole of the shoe for the water that enters the top to drain out.

Don't pedal through puddles, simples 😉

Alternatively - fill the gap in and around the cleat with a waterproof sealant. I do it from the sole-side once the cleats have been fitted and a sheet of Gaffa in place to stop the sealant getting inside the shoe. A simple solution to the problem you're having.

+1 for a silicone sealant. You don't need much.
