Are waterproof trainers heavier than regular running shoes?

Waterproof trainers are typically a bit heavier due to the added protective membrane, such as GORE-TEX.

Do waterproof running shoes require special socks?

While not essential, pairing waterproof running shoes with moisture-wicking or wool socks can enhance comfort. Wool socks help regulate temperature and manage moisture, reducing the risk of blisters and keeping your feet comfortable in both cold and wet conditions.

Which waterproof running shoes offer the best grip and durability?

Models like the Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX and Salomon XA Pro 3D v9 GTX are renowned for their exceptional grip and durability. Their deep lugs and robust outsoles provide reliable traction on wet, muddy, or technical trails, while their GORE-TEX membranes ensure your feet stay dry during long, challenging runs.

Are waterproof running shoes suitable for all weather conditions?

Waterproof running shoes excel in cold, wet, or snowy weather, offering warmth and dryness when you need it most. However, they are less breathable than non-waterproof models, which can make your feet feel hot and sweaty in mild or warm conditions. For summer or warm climates, a breathable, non-waterproof shoe may be preferable.

Waterproof Trainers

Don’t let a bad forecast dictate your training schedule. This collection of waterproof trainers is your defence against the downpour, engineered to keep you running with confidence when the weather turns. The core of every shoe in this category is a remarkable waterproof membrane, most often from the experts at GORE-TEX, which is bonded into the upper construction.

This technology acts as an impenetrable barrier, stopping rain, puddles, and wet grass from soaking through to your feet. But its real genius lies in its breathability; while it blocks water from getting in, it still allows sweat and vapour to escape from the inside. This crucial feature ensures your feet stay drier and more regulated, which is key to preventing the blisters and discomfort that can ruin a long run in wet conditions.

This foul-weather protection isn't a separate class of shoe; it's an upgrade to the models you already know and love. You'll find waterproof versions of your favourite road running shoes, perfect for grim winter commutes and rainy city marathons, alongside rugged trail running shoes built to handle muddy tracks and stream crossings.

Explore our collection of waterproof running shoes for men/women and refuse to let the rain win.
