This. 
They hold in moisture, which running aggravates, so really sweaty nasty shoes are the result, resulting in more fungal growth and faster deterioration of the shoes so they have to buy a new pair sooner.

Great marketing gimmick though.[/quote]

Are we talking about the same style of waterproof shoes? These Ons are waterproof and they look fairly breathable:

Pretty sure you aren't going to get waterproof and breathable in one shoe - a truly waterproof shoe is going to be like a rubber boot - not breathable. [/quote]

Why do people who know nothing about topics go online and just make up nonsense?  It’s amazing.[/quote]

[b]Rain boots constructed completely with rubber will be waterproof.[/b] Boots with leather as the outermost material will generally not be waterproof, since leather is more porous and will absorb water, especially if it’s untreated. So look at the materials to determine if the product is truly waterproof. For jackets, look for fabrics with a rubber coating. For boots, look for rubber or PVC, a synthetic plastic made from vinyl.[/quote]
