Hi All,

Can anyone recommend some waterproof breathable comfortable trainers please? (Don't want much lol)

After wearing my trainers yesterday it was still quite hot and then rained but the trainers do not breath and were just making my feet sweat and so uncomfortable!

Cheers

There is a thread running about waterproof walking shoes and some trainers get recommended on that

I use North Face Gore Tex they are decent but they are not hard-wearing but very comfortable.

Are they comfortable to wear mate? I read a review saying they were a bit hard/uncomfortable and rigid?

I recently bought some Merrell Moab 2 GORE-TEX trainers/hiking shoes, very comfy and waterproof.

Third the Swift R2, I got the mid boots. If you shop around you can get the slightly dodgy colourways for significantly less. I think I paid £115 for the boots. Had mine 18 months and they are like new.

I had a pair of the Adidas terrex goretex trainers,lasted 4 weeks,ripped across the bend in the foot,grips started to wear and peal away and the lining inside around the heal ripped in several places causing bad blisters...absolute garbage,sent then back and got a refund.

I know this is the second time you've mentioned this, but there must be something wrong if they lasted 4 weeks. If I could upload a photo, I would, to show how well mine have lasted over 18 months, they are literally like new.

Could it be that yours were fakes??

If this was a common thing, then surely it would come up in reviews etc.

EDIT: trying to upload some pics
