After trying my AM Moab Mid STX – Mountain bike shoes with Sealskinz socks I still got very wet feet. Looks like the wet came in from the top of the socks. Ok today as it wasn't cold but in winter it won't be so bearable
So is there a boot/sock/trouser/tight combo that will keep my feet dry and warm
Put these over the top of your sock. Trousers that cover the dock/shoe interface helps as well.

Five ten goretex which has neoprene top bit.
Trousers over the neoprene bit.
Gripgrab cyclingaiter to cover the joint and hold the trousers in place.
Still get a little bit of water in so on wet ground thin sealskinz too.
Only downside is it takes almost 10 minutes it feels like to get everything on.
Those grip grabs can be made to work with Moabs but they’re a bit of a faff. It’s real shame they didn’t do a better ankle cuff in them as they’d be great wet weather shoes otherwise.
OP- some sort of gaiter plus trousers makes my moabs pretty effective at keeping my feet dry, it’s just finding a gaiter that works. I’m still using the grip grabs and just accept i need to pull them down at the back occasionally. Been meaning to try something grippy on the back of the shoe to help hold them down.
Alternatively, the ‘winter’ version of the vaude shoes have a proper cuff. They’re just very warm!
Troy Lee resist pants, sealskinz mtb socks and Shimano ME7 shoes did the job for me last winter
These! Been an absolute revolution for me after years of trying waterproof socks etc and they're 12 quid. Total no brainer.
Those gaiters work well in my experience
Long Sealskinz means you have to be in deep before it comes over the top
Pair of ~3mm neoprene socks over a pair of thin socks.
Gore tex midi gaiters and trousers over them.
Another vote for goretex midi gaiters. I've been through water which has come almost to the top of them, but moving forward they still keep the water out of your boots.
Paired with shimano xm9 boots they've seen me through many a never ending wet winter.
