Having just come back from a very soggy week in the Netherlands, I'm also looking for a light squashable pair of trainers that are also waterproof!
My Adidas trainers that I usually take are very much not waterproof!
Soggy feet make me cross and miserable!

I cycle in flat walking shoes, Scarpa are my favorite.
If I'm on tour and the shoes I wore on the bike got soaked, I'll change into Crocs.
Crocs are very light, you could hang them from our rack thus saving pannier space, you can use them indoors or going to restaurants, etc.
I also own a couple of pairs of waterproof socks, nothing fancy, just the Aldi ones.
They are very effective, your shoes can be wet but your feet will be dry.

I was a runner because I couldn't afford a bike!
Now I'm a cyclist because I'm too slow to run!
I ride in hiking shoes. For touring, I carry a pair of these as evening wear so I always have something else to change into. I don't particularly like this type of shoe normally, but I like them for touring as they can be easily squashed down flat without damage so take up little space.

Sandals, no socks. SD50 if cycling, basic Tevas if not.
If they get wet, they dry out quickly, and they are so well ventilated that stinkiness doesn't happen. No secondary footwear saves on packing space too.
I find bare feet are OK down to about zero, my feet having become acclimatised over the years (either that, or it's the benefits of unrestriced blood flow).
