Stylish waterproof trainers to wear with skirts?

Help feel like I'm looking for the impossible! I'm looking for some decently water resistant/water proof trainers that look good with jeans/denim skirts/autumn frocks. I've got walking boots and wellies for serious outdoor wet weather walking and I've got nice boots for office and going out but looking for something to fill that middle piece. Something I can wear with a skirt shopping or to the pub, but that can cope with a rainy day or a dog walk. My lovely Adidas that I've been wearing can't cope with a puddle! The walking trainer types all feel a bit too 'outdoorsy' and look too clunky with a skirt, most of the low top trainer types don't look like they could cope with more than light drizzle! Any suggestions, under £100 ideally

I'm after exactly this too - why are all the lovely trainers suede?

I wear Adidas Gazelles and SL72 almost exclusively and haven’t had a problem with rain.
I do spray them with Crep spray periodically and avoid huge puddles where possible, my feet are always dry.

I have these which I wouldn't wear on a muddy track but are good for a wet pavement.

I have worn Adidas Tokyo with anything since spring. They work fine, correct leather care is key. I clean mine regularly, use leather nourishing cream and Collonil spray on top. I would not wear in pouring rain but they cope with wet weather and offroad conditions, I live in the middle of nowhere and walk a lot.

Ecco have a lot of gore tex options - here’s a link to all of them; some are much more “walking shoe” but others are more normal trainer type. Worth a look if you like any of them? I’ve got some non gore tex Ecco lightweight trainers and they’re v comfortable.
