Recommendations for trainers for my daily walks

[littlepieces]

I'm looking for some new trainers for daily walks around town/local park trails (usually covering around 5km).

I wore Adidas ultraboosts all summer/autumn which were great, but if it rains or the ground is a bit wet, your feet and shoes get soaked because the upper is made of that fabric mesh... I've been going for walks in my hiking shoes recently but would rather a pair of shoes that are a bit more casual, lightweight, have decent enough grip on the soles, and are vaguely good looking!

Any suggestions? :)

These are very comfy and I'm not usually a Nike fan Nike

As a brand, I can recommend Merrell. I was walking at least 70 miles a week before the first lockdown. The soles used to last a lot longer than some other brands and the waterproofing stayed fairly resilient when topped up with silicone spray every now and again.

I know that these are not trainers but a recent convert.

Amazing-so comfy and waterproof. My Dsis climbed Kilimanjaro in hers.
DD and another friend all have gotten and everyone really rates!!

I have Merrell walking shoes (not boots) which are light but have good soles and don't mind mud. I love them and DH is very happy with his too.

I have several pairs of Nike's that are comfortable.
I also have Under Armour trainers that I wear to the gym and could walk for hours in them.

I’ve just bought some Columbus walking shoes /boots and they are great . Living in them for dog walks

Coco Do your feet stay dry in those shoes when the ground is wet please? I have sketchers Go Run, which are so incredibly comfortable for walking, but my feet get wet if the ground is wet.

Yes they do @WellTidy, they are fabric so probably wouldn't do in a downpour, but I think because the sole is quite thick it helps.

thank you!
