This shoe is great for walking through rain, puddles and mud. I used to wear running shoes walking to and from work. Whenever it rained even if I managed to avoid every single puddle, my shoes would still have gotten soaked. I simply got tired of wet, cold feet all day. These shoes are a blessing. pros:-waterproof-comfortable-fit true to length and width-breathablecons:-walking on concrete or normal floor surfaces can feel slightly awkward at first since these shoes are made for the trail.other comments:-low ankle design, which I like but some might not.-pour water on them and watch it bead off not absorbing a drop. its funbest uses:warm to cool weather where nature throws a lot of water and nastiness at you. They are probably fine for moderate snow but haven't tried under those conditions yet.

I think this is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I got and I am comparing this to tennis shoes. First off, it is for outdoors and I used it on muddy trail. It simple design and the charcoal color is easy to wash the mud off and still looking good. The traction and Teva's Ortholite sole are very comfortable and flexible. The shoe Event design is to keep mud and water out, but still be breathable. I got to say it works. I was so impressed with these pair of shoes that I only brought one pair of shoes to work around in London for a week and it was these. It beat out my black Adidas's Bounce shoe. It did get a little hot even with the event breathable design, but that was minor. Only mesh running shoes would be more breathable then this, but aren't as rugged as these. The charcoal color is the best color to blend with the outdoors and city walking. Even the little orange color didn't stick out too much in London, otherwise it fits perfectly in Seattle.
