While a comfortable shoe, it is not Waterproof in the slightest bit.<br /><br />I got these to be able to not have to switch out of my hiking boots and into the plastic trail shoes every time there was a small amount of water to cross.<br /><br />These are as waterproof as tennis shoes, and should not be classified as such.<br /><br />However, their fit and support enables my second star. They were great for the parts of the 75 mile hike that I was able to wear them, but worthless in a puddle.
