[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't run in these as a daily runner - as others mentioned there is no breathability and your feet will overheat, likely increasing the chance of blisters.

I run in all weather - rain, snow, heat, ice etc.  For warm rain - I'd have to decide whether I'd use these based on my miles - for a short run - regular running shoes are just fine. For a longer run with soaking wet socks and heavy sneakers - I would try a waterproof sneaker.

In the winter - wet, snowy trails and roads - your feet need to stay dry and warm. I have used waterproof socks instead in the past - as they also kept my feet warm. As a hiker - having waterproof shoes is essential for long hikes or overnights where wet feet can cause all kinds of issues. I have noticed that many of these waterproof shoes don't account for the rain coming in along the top-sock line - they are fine for puddles and ponding on the surface. The other note - they tend to have slippery soles - so if you are running on a surface like a wooden bridge - be careful. [/quote]
