It's Been Raining Too Much. These Sneakers Are Waterproof (and Look Great, Too)

We know, you're tired of the rain—so are we. If you can't take another day of wearing heavy rainboots, it's time to swap them for something more stylish.

Unless you truly live in a desert, it’s been raining a lot lately. So much so that regular shoes haven’t been able to stand up to the punishment. And if you’re like a lot of us, you’re tired of running around town in waterlogged shoes, desperately wishing that your socks weren’t wet. So, if you’ve had enough of Mother Nature destroying your footwear, it might be time to upgrade to these bad boys.

A waterproof sneaker

Yes, it’s actually possible to have waterproof sneakers, and Vessi Footwear has the answer. Instead of following tradition with a final waterproof coating that can eventually wear off, their Men’s Cityscape sneakers feature a fully integrated waterproof knit upper that won’t fade away over time. And that waterproof layer is also moisture wicking so sweaty feet are a thing of the past.

Why would I want sneakers instead of rain boots?

Rain boots can be heavy and aren’t breathable. Unlike boots, the Vessi Cityscape sneakers feature micropores that are too small to allow water in, but big enough to allow sweat and heat to escape. And that means you’ll feel more comfortable when you’re wearing these sneakers all day.
