Hmm. Were you wearing tall socks? Is it possible your socks got wet and wicked water into your shoes? It's hard to do anything about that problem, except wear pants to direct the water off your legs and onto the shoes. Sometimes, if it's raining really hard or you ride through puddles and the splashes come up your legs, there's nothing you can do. Otherwise, assuming you had them done up nice and tight, maybe there's a defect?
On Friday I crossed a creek in some Northwave winter shoes (review upcoming). The water came all the way up the cuff, and didn't get in. I was surprised and impressed.
