Fully waterproof trainers

longwalks1 · 2015-11-11 12:47:36

Am after some fully waterproof trainers if possible, for trsil/field running this winter, is there such a thing? Not fussed on them getting filthy but need to keep my feet dry if possible, and all the fields and tracks local to me are wet even after a quick shower

Goretex will be waterproof BUT in really wet conditions, long grass, etc, water will run down your legs and into the top of the trainer, around your ankle. Absolutely nothing you can do about that.

Well, you could wear gaiters but they would make your lower legs hot for running!
