I was wondering if Nike or one of the major brands make a shoe that was waterproof? I'm looking for something that looks like a normal shoe.

Not really a fashionista but I don't think they do, however, Google would probably be a better place to ask this question. I know muck boots has a low top version you can purchase

Golf shoes have come a long way in recent years and many are touted as waterproof. Plus they have a little traction.

I'd have to recommend any of these: www.truelinkswear.com/I had a pair several years ago, before I started coaching and I worked at a golf course during my undergrad. Keeps your feet pretty dry, super comfortable and pretty good traction. I wore them my first year at any sort of wet or damp practice. They worked well. |

How dry do they keep your feet ? I second the idea about golf shoes. But these work well for me. My feet stay dry. |

I have a pair of Boombah's that aren't waterproof, but are mostly leather. They keep my feet mostly dry in the dew and warm in late fall. Now I look and Boombah's website hardly has any shoes. Anyone know what happened to Boombah?

I have ordered Nike from NikeID in the past that while I wouldn't say they were completely waterproof, they were goretex so did really good at keeping my feet dry. I don't know if that's still an option with them or not.

I coach in low top merrell shoes. Have bought a new pair every year for about 9 years in a row since I discovered them.

I assume you will be wearing them outside. Consider a spikeless golf shoe - I have a pair of Nikes that I used for teaching PE class.

Nike makes an h20 shoe that's resistant but not water proof in the Pegasus and the lunar glide? If u want water proof u will have to go old school leather New balance used to make a 995 turf/coaching shoe that was awesome for this |

You just spray it on a regular shoe and it works? |

I have used scotchgard on the last few nike trainers 5.0 and my socks don't get wet unless it is raining heavily.

Shoes either breathe or keep out stuff, so you either sweat your socks or get rain in your socks'
My feet sweat. My whole body sweats. Therefore, I'm prone to fungus in my shoes. The best thing I do is: change socks often; teach in 1 pair coach another, don't wear the same pair of shoes 2 days in a row, have a pair of shoes you wear on days that you know your feet are going to get wet.

There are low top hiking shoes out there that aren't too ugly and do a decent job as far as comfort being on your feet for a while - something like this: www.zappos.com/merrell-phoenix-bluff-waterproof-greyYou can also check places like LL Bean, they have their own brand plus brands like Merrell. I had an older pair of LL Bean low top GoreTex hikers, and they were great, lasted me about 5 years. Got a pair of the current versions, too stiff, uncomfortable, and returned them. The nice thing about LL Bean is that when they cease to be waterproof in 4-5 years, you can return them for a full refund or a replacement, no questions asked. That's what I did. Merrell has a waterproof sneaker, I got it specifically for practices and games. It's okay. It's not as waterproof as a hiking shoe, I think they have to make too many concessions to make it more "sneaker-like". Brooks I believe has some Gore-Tex running sneakers. No idea how good they are. Again, I think the ability to water "proof" a quality sneaker is limited, more than likely they are more resistant than proof. Check Zappos and filter/search for water-proof. I just did that and hundreds of options - most are hiking and golf... Waterproof golf shoes in general keep you dry (I am a golfer, and my feet stay dry), I just haven't been able to bring myself to wear them for non-golf purposes. But they make some spikeless versions now that are just about sneakers. Check places like TGW.com for clearance deals. When it absolutely pours, I wear a pair of Bogz - ugly as sin, but warm and dry - www.zappos.com/baffin-marsh-mid-black~1?zlfid=191&ref=pd_detail_1_sims_p_abThey are surprisingly comfortable - as comfortable as a sneaker, frankly. |
