Comfy trainers

Hi all. I'm on my feet pretty much all day and spend a fair amount of time outside.
No heavy duty stuff but just walking to destinations as I don't drive.
I bought some trainers which are really comfy but absolutely useless in the rain. I had soaking wet feet all day.
I thought leather trainers would be a good idea so did a search. I was about to order some from All Saints but last minute thought I'd better check the reviews. They were dire! Narrow, hard sole, terrible customer service and people waiting weeks for a refund. Thank goodness I checked first!
I'm a bit of a fashionista, 'bit' being the operative word! I'm no model or anything but I really want stylish trainers which are comfortable and water resistant.
Any suggestions? I don't mind bold. My clothing is pretty monochrome so it would be nice for my footwear to stand out.
I had my eye on a yellow pair, gold or silver etc.
The pic is the ones I had my eye on with the bad reviews. They don't have to be that style. Any help greatly appreciated!

Perhaps not fashionista territory, but Skechers really are your friend 😊

Er not sure why my post above has been hidden! I was just recommending New Balance 574s. Very odd…

@PoisonMaple I actually ordered a yellow pair of sketchers and was really excited to get them, then after a week got an email saying they had issues with stock so were giving a refund. It put me off a bit but I'll take another look. Thank you ☺️
