I wore neoprene booties and sneakers for two and a half days of rain when I did the Fundy Footpath one year with snow still in the woods, May 1-4. I brought the booties and sneakers for river crossings but ended up hiking in them. It was cold enough it didn't seem to bother my feet. I had very dry boots and socks for the final days hike which was sunny. Wouldn't recommend such a setup but it worked. I would recommend people considering bringing a pair of neoprene booties or socks in wet winter / early spring.
