Recommendations for comfortable waterproof trainers with good grip in wet weather

[Whowhenwhatwear]

I'm looking for some comfortable, waterproof trainers that work well in wet conditions and are slip resistant. Happy to spend if necessary, but also love a bargain. Anyone recommendations?

Hoka do some “trail” trainers that are waterproof with a vibram sole. They aren’t cheap, but they fit all your requirements. I was looking for exactly the same things and they have served me very well!

I’m on at least my fourth pair of waterproof walking shoes from Decathlon so those might be worth a look. I actually think they’re too lightweight for proper hiking but they’re great around town.

I have Sketchers

Solomon , berghaus, merrel etc. you need the vibram sole and gortex.

Thanks everyone for suggestions

@angelcake20 would you be able to link to these?

These sound good for going hiking in wet weather conditions. Would you say they're also good for everyday wear? out and about for commuting?

I have a pair of Merrell trail running shoes, super grippy and very comfortable. Mine aren’t waterproof but they do a goretex version.

Look on Sportsshoes.com for deals on last year’s designs, I always buy runners on there rather than the latest model.

Thanks, those look good for every day walking on wet pavements. Will have to go instore and see how the fit is. I don't ever remember being so anxious about slipping in wet weather. must be a getting older thing

On do quite a few waterproof trainers.

I have these in an old colour way, they are really comfy and good grip. The description says they are for city strolls and light hikes.

Watching…

My daughter has Adidas Terrex (I think) and says they’re good.

Yes, absolutely! I wear mine all the time!

bought some marks and spencer ones, but they feel bery flimsy so will return

Thanks @ButtonNoseBunny
will take another look

Avoid Karrimor Hot rock shoes, water proof but so slippy in the wet!

I went flying on the fairly gentle tarmac slope down into my Grandson’s school.

I’ve taken a sander to the soles to try and roughen them a bit.
It’s a shame because they are comfy and sturdy.

Thanks for the heads up because I've been looking at karrimor

Ordinary Karrimor are great, I’ve had them for years.
It’s specifically the Hot Rock variant that i’ve found lethal.

I’ve currently got these

These look really good. Are they grippy in wet conditions?

Look for Merrell Fly Strike. I'm on my second pair as I get them for autumn / winter running / walking with the dog. Start Fitness have them for a good price.

Thanks for this. Will look on there. need to get a decent pair before the weather gets ready wet 😩

HOKA are the best. I get plantar fasciitis and they got rid of it. So comfortable.

If you want them for commuting I have done Adidas terrex ones which are waterproof, comfy and grippy and look quite cool.

There are loads of different types and some are cheaper than this but I have the version of these from two years ago. https://www.adidas.co.uk/terrex-skychaser-gore-tex-hiking-shoes/KJ8920.html

I love them. I wear them to commute when it's raining and outside with my kids for the same. But I live in a city so not going up mountains in them!
