Men's Waterproof Shoes

Men’s waterproof shoes use membranes such as Gore-Tex or On’s waterproof fabric, which block water from entering while allowing sweat vapour to escape. This technology keeps your feet dry during wet runs and helps prevent overheating and blisters by maintaining breathability.

Yes, modern waterproof shoes are designed to balance water protection with breathability. Their membranes let sweat escape, and features like engineered mesh uppers further enhance airflow, so your feet stay comfortable even on longer runs.

The Salomon Speedcross GTX stands out for its aggressive lugs and excellent traction on wet, muddy, or technical terrain. The Brooks Cascadia GTX also offers multidirectional lugs for grip on slick surfaces, making both models strong choices for trail runners facing challenging conditions.

Waterproof shoes may be slightly heavier due to the added membrane, but many models are engineered to remain lightweight and agile, so you don’t sacrifice speed or comfort in wet conditions.

Waterproof shoes may feel slightly stiffer at first due to the membrane but will soften as you break them in. Always try them on with your usual running socks and ensure there’s enough room for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks in winter.
