Are These Shoes Waterproof?

Are any of the shoes leather? If so, you can try using something like “Sno Seal” to waterproof the shoes.

All of the shoes are leather. I know the Clarks and Uggs are waterproof and the first Ecco booties I linked are supposed to be waterproof as well. The last pair I linked (grey booties) are leather, they feel like nubuck. They aren’t my first choice because of the tread on the bottom, but realistically they would just be a back up pair of shoes. Using waterproofing spray couldn’t hurt. Thanks.

You may want to try the brand Remonte.
I used these on a rain soaked trip to London and Paris last November and they were great!
I recently used them in Lisbon in October, where it rained every day, and I felt secure on the slippery tiles.

Edited to add: I also have plantar fasciitis and Remonte was recommended by PT.

Andrea, I don't know about you, but when I went to Scotland for 3 weeks, I only brought along water resistant shoes (not waterproof), and they were fine for the most part. The only time I had a problem was when I was hiking in some boggy wet muck in the woods, and even then just the toe box got a bit damp.

If you're concerned, you could try using a product like the ones mentioned, but I don't think it's worth buying a new pair of shoes.

Jules, thanks for the recommendation. I leave on Monday, so don’t have time to buy a new pair of shoes and make sure they will work for me. They are cute though!

Mardee, I already own the shoes I linked (or similar shoes in the case of the Clarks) and I know they are all fine for me. I just put the Clarks on with my merino wool socks and they fit fine. I know they are waterproof because I have road tested them, including 16 weeks in Europe last year. As a back up pair of shoes they wouldn’t take up too much room in my suitcase, unlike the Ugg boots. If I bring the Uggs I would have to wear them on my flights and when I am changing locations, so not ideal. The Ecco mid top sneaker is very comfortable and would be fine, especially if I use some spray on them, but I’m a bit nervous about traction in slippery conditions.

Why is packing so hard?!?

I'd take the Uggs for the tread and warmth.

Andrea, I haven't tried the grey Ecco shoes although I love my soft 7 sneakers! If it were me, I'd be ok with having 2 pairs of waterproof shoes, and bring whatever other pair I like that are only water resistant. You can hopefully wear those on a day with very low rain chances. Especially in cities, even in a little bit of rain shouldn't soak your shoes though I would think. I also love carrying 3 pairs of shoes although I find I typically can survive with only two. Enjoy your trip!

We haven’t had any rain for me to test the grey booties

Turn on your yard sprinklers and go for a damp stroll. Or just pour water on them in the shower to simulate light or heavy rain.

I brought 2 pairs of boots last year and rotated them. One were ankle snow boots with a high enough sole to keep me out of an inch or two of snow. The other were Remonte boots, which I wore in light rain. I never felt the need for a 3rd pair.

jules, the ones you linked are so cute! I'm officially a Remonte junkie. I just bought a 3rd pair and those are very tempting!

Andrea, there is one true way of discovering if your shoes are waterproof. Go stand in some water with them on. I'm serious. The Manufacturer can make all the claims they want, but the true test is when the shoe hits the water.

Carol now retired, the manufacturer doesn’t claim they are waterproof, but some people who have owned them have stated they are.

I think I’ve decided that to save space I’m going to take the Clarks as the back up pair of shoes. I know they are waterproof and comfortable for many miles of walking with my difficult feet. Thanks again for all the advice.
