Original handcrafted Leather Boat, Deck Shoes
The last few years of my life, all I’ve really worn has been converse. I really like them, but they’re not waterproof and if it’s cold out, so are your feet. I need something warm, and that I could trudge through some snow on my way to classes in. Any ideas? I’m not a fan of skate shoes, and I would like something lighter than boots.
Oh, and no running shoes.
I am a marathon runner. I use typical high end running shoes to run on hard pack trails, asphalt, concrete in all weather conditions. I know I can’t run a marathon distance with wet feet. I see ultramarathon and trail runners crossing streams of knee deep water, etc. How do they keep feet dry so they can continue the run. I assume they use trail running shoes but I can’t imagine that they are waterproof.
I am traveling to England this October and I am wondering what the best type of shoes to get are. [More specifically, I will be using London as my hub and tranveling all over England].
I’m thinking about buying some running shoes, since I will be walking Everywhere! but I am not sure if I need to find a waterproof option?
I would REALLY like to hear from some people who are from England or who have actually experienced the wetness! If you have any specific brands or style you like, I would love to hear about them!
Sorry, but will someone please explain to me what trainers means exactly over there?
Just moved to SoCal and I’ve been really wanting to go running on the beach. I see glass occasionally and I don’t want to cut my feet by running barefoot. Does anybody know of waterproof running shoes?
My friend and I are going to be traveling in Europe for three months. I am only taking one pair of shoes (aside from shower sandals), and am having a hard time deciding what to buy. We’re not planning on doing a lot of serious hiking, but we’re definitely going to be doing a lot of walking and exploring. I have flat feet and weak ankles. I was thinking of getting a nice pair of waterproof hiking boots – that way I’d get ankle support and stay dry when the weather’s bad. But I’ve never had hiking boots before. Would they be uncomfortable to wear every day for three months straight? Would it be better to just get a pair of motion control running shoes (what I normally wear) and forget about waterproof? I backpacked in South Africa a couple of years ago and climbed a couple of mountains in running shoes, and remember really wishing I had hiking boots. I’m just concerned about the ‘every day for three months’ thing.
Any recommendations from fellow travelers/casual hikers/people with flat feet?
Thanks!
Something waterproof, yet breathable. All I can think of is Gore-tex.
And what about shoes? Are there any waterproof running shoes on the market? Where water won’t seep in, and has good traction
