What's the difference between being wet from sweat and wet because it's muddy or raining? Isn't that about wicking rather than waterproofing? Example: I'm wearing my nice Northwave GoreTex winter boots with some merino socks. I tread in a puddle that's deeper than I expected, and now I have a pair of waterproof boots full of water. If I'm wearing my summer shoes with wetsuit socks, it's less of an issue.

If your clothes aren't waterproof then cold rainwater is continually coming into your clothes refreshing the cold wetness. If you have a waterproof barrier then the heat stays in a lot more. Largely because waterproof kit is also very windproof.
