I been using them for around 6 years never missed a beat I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would spend such vast amounts of money on these named trainers ?
as IMHO they are never gonna be an extra £100 more comfortable or £100 more waterproof ?
and as I said I chuck em away after a couple of years and get a nice new pair works out £17.50 a year

The main problem is I'm a size 13 which vastly limits what I can get, and I have a sports direct about 10 mins away so I could go and try these on. For 35 quid how wrong can they be.

I hd a pair of goretex adidas terra trainers, fell apart with 50 miles,holes on the mesh at the on the side on the crease of the foot, heel ripped and the inner foam started coming out and the grips wore down and started peeling away...never seen a pair of so called walking trainers deteriorate so quickly, sent them back and got a full refund...absolute garbage and would never buy any goretex trainers from adidas ever again.
Keen Targhee best I've owned.

I don't always wear waterproof shoes. My father wears rubber boots-pants that cover his legs almost to mid-thigh. But I don't like putting cold rubber on my feet. I just ordered a kind of pants and shoe covers. I have sore feet, and I buy special sneakers for https://www.tennisshoez.com/best-tennis-shoes-bunions-men-women/ and put silicone foot covers on top of them, which are laced on top. Water has never leaked into my pants or sneakers, which I am delighted with. Try it, and maybe you'll like wearing foot covers instead of rubber boots.

Strange...
...I've had a pair of Adidas Terrex Gore-tex for about 2 years now, wear them every time i go fishing plus walking at weekends with the missus....walked hundreds of miles in them and although they are getting a bit tired they are still waterproof and in good overall condition....would buy another pair tomorrow.

I agree with this on the Terrex AX3 GTX, I use the shoe versions for warmer weather and lightweight stuff. Over 2 years old and almost look like new. Had 2 pairs of Moabs, very comfortable but the soles degrade and perish so I was not impressed with their longevity. I still have them but they are no longer waterproof. For winter I use the Salomon 4d 3 GTX and this is without a shadow of a doubt the best boot I've used

I have had a pair of these Adidas for about 6wks now and so far pleased with them on all counts, lightweight, waterproof and seem to be a good purchase.
I also have had a pair of the Solomon Goretex GT4 for about 4-5yrs, just starting to come apart at rhe sole but hopefully a bit of silicone will sort it out to keep them going. Great boots these, worth the money.

I've got a pair of Merrels and they are spot on .
