The Perks of being waterproof: Sneakers with waterproof features

There are days when your shoes have to be one thing above all else - functional. Because when you're out and about in the snow or rain, your sneakers have to be waterproof sneakers have the task: to stay waterproof. Benefit from a performance without limit with waterproof sneakers.

Waterproof sneakers have their origin in sports. Especially mountain lovers, runners or golfers need footwear that doesn't let water through. Robust boots in hiking boot look from brands like Salomon, Nike or Hoka One One are therefore the first choice for outdoor addicts.

You're a sneakerhead, but not so into the outdoor look? No Worries: Many brands like Vans or Converse are now launching iconic models as waterproof sneaker versions especially for fall or winter - often with a dense sole, high shaft and deeper tread for more grip and traction. So you don't have to miss out on your favorite kicks even in bad weather.

Stay dry, stay cool: Which sneaker materials are waterproof?

A material is considered waterproof if it allows 0.0 percent moisture into your sneakers. The level below that is called "waterproof." As a rule, tightly woven upper materials made of polyester or nylon are used here, which make it more difficult for moisture to penetrate. However, if you're out and about in heavy rain for a longer period of time, your sneaker will eventually get soaked up - and the moisture will get into the shoe.

One of the top solutions comes from high-performer Gore-Tex®: The company has been working with various sneaker brands for years to produce waterproof shoes for men and women. Gore-Tex® relies on an extremely fine-pored membrane made of polymer PTFE, which is located between the sneaker upper and inner lining. Water in liquid form doesn't stand a chance here - but can escape as a vapor molecule when you sweat.

Many mega brands cooperate with Gore-Tex® to release their classics as waterproof winter versions with breathability. A best practice: Nike's ACG sneaker line with low-tops or boots. Short for "All Conditions Gear," these outdoor kicks will have you ready for any action in the cold and wet months. If your focus is on style, check out the Nike Air Max 90 *GTX* or waterproof sneakers from adidas and New Balance with a Gore-Tex® membrane.

Be prepared: When to wear waterproof sneakers

If you get your adrenaline rush from trail running, you're in the right place with waterproof sneakers. Basically, this applies to all sports where you spend a lot of time outdoors: with waterproof boots, hiking shoes or low-tops, you'll be able to cope with any weather - and your socks will stay dry.

If autumn and winter bring cold and wet weather, you should also switch to waterproof sneakers High-tops are a nice-to-have here: with the higher shaft, you can trudge through the snow without it getting directly into your shoes.

Last but not least, trendy kicks with a Gore-Tex® membrane are also a good choice for vacation trips. Because whether you're spending hours exploring the city or taking a detour into nature, waterproof sneakers keep you dry in changeable weather so you can spend the whole day in them.
