Best waterproof sneakers for rainy days seem to be Vans shoes Sk8-Hi MTE with leather top. Nike black Air Jordan rain sneakers are also very popular.

Best all weather sneakers are Asics which both keep your feet dry and are not too warm during summer and not too cold when it’s colder outside.

Leather

While choosing rain shoes look at the material the shoes are made of. If you go for leather you may choose almost any style without hesitation. Leather is naturally waterproof which makes the shoes usable in the wet.

Leather sneakers will keep your feet dry and are the best choice if you like casual style and need “rain boots”.

Waterproof sneaker protection

You may think that waterproof shoes don’t need protection and care. Well, think again. Because if you would like your shoes to last, you need to take care of them. Here is what we recommend to do:

1. Apply some water repellent before wearing the sneakers for the first time to block out moisture.

2. Dry the shoes immediately after walking in rain. Use electric shoe dryer or some other remedy to dry the shoes fast. Do not wear wet shoes – they may start to stink.

Poor grip

A matter to consider when choosing sneakers for rainy weather is a poor grip on slippery surfaces. Sneaker soles are not made with good traction in mind as they are supposed to be light and easy to wear for all kinds of activities. This often makes them very slippery on wet surfaces.

Choose sneakers with large treads and soft gripping rubber outsole in order to protect yourself from slipping. For example Adidas Performance Men’s Kanadia Shoe.

Other ways

If you don’t want to buy new sneakers or need something to cover the shoes in case of a sudden rain here are some options on how to waterproof the shoes:

• Bike shoe covers are perfect to keep your sneakers clean and dry.

• Try rubber overshoes or galoshes. They are an ultimate waterproofing solution for all types of footwear.
  Amazon
• Try on shoe shields that you insert inside the sneaker just below breathing holes. They are a good choice to help prevent the shoes from creasing.
  Amazon
• Nylon overshoes are a little bit heavy and expensive, but they work really great.
  Amazon
• Wear sandals if it’s warm outside. They will dry out quickly and you won’t damage the sneakers. They will also prevent your feet from overheating if it’s really warm.
• If it’s wet and cold outside wear wool socks along with windproof sock. They will not protect the sneakers, but will keep your feet warm and dry.
