For those who need a friend for rainy days, we've reviewed several waterproof running shoes that can play that part. We test each shoe vigilantly, so that every feature of the shoe (not just its waterproofness) is reliable for your use. We test waterproof running shoes for any purpose - whether if it's for roads or trails, narrow or wide feet, and forefoot or heel-strikers.
