Shimano waterproof seal?

I just got a pair of Shimano mountain bike shoes. They come with "waterproof seals" that are supposed to go underneath the sockliner and over the SPD cleat–is it necessary to put them on the shoe if I’m using the shoes for indoor cycling? It seems that if I put them on, it would be difficult to adjust the SPD cleat. Thanks.

How do you apply wax on a waterproof jacket?

Long distance hiking shoes?

I want lightweight trail shoes that will go the distance with a light pack. Something PCT or AT-rated. Preferably a good, full-length shank, waterproof (or dries quickly), lightweight shoe (less than 20oz per pair).

I was looking at the Montrail Masochist or the La Sportiva Crosslite bit I don’t think these have good shanks in them and my feet will be bruised to pieces after walking on rocks.

MAKING UGGS WATERPROOF?

My uggs got wet from the rain, but it’s not soaked. Only the top part (where the toes are) got a little damp. I’m going to go get the water repellent spray, but do I have to clean the shoes before spraying the waterproof spray? I don’t really want to soak them and wash it when it’s not really that wet.

What is the perfect valet shoe?

I need an all black, waterproof, running shoe that looks as nice as a dress shoe. It has to be all black. I’m on my feet all day so it needs to have good support. But I’m also running a lot. In the rain, it would be nice to have dry feet. And finally, I want it to look good because I am also a manager and dress in nice cloths.

What are the best wet weather boots?

Can anyone help me with dyed shoes?

I just bought my shoes from David’s Bridal, and just turned around and am getting them dyed. It says that after it’s dyed, they are not "waterproof"… Does that mean the dye will run if wet? And what about if you sweat?
Is there anything to spray on the shoes to protect them?
Thanks!!
I’m wearing them with my wedding gown… Has anyone gotten the dye on their gowns?

What should I use on my shoes?

I have these canvas shoes that I made designs on with sharpie markers, but I want to waterproof them somehow. Is there a certain spray that I can seal them with? I read somewhere not to use one with silicon. Thanks!
I would like to have a spray that can keep the water from smearing my ink. I am worried about oils because I am afraid they would smear my shoes as well as water would.
