The Best Waterproof Running Shoes for All-Weather Running

Adidas Ultraboost 22 Gore-Tex

The Ultraboost has long been a favorite for its cushioned-yet-bouncy ride, courtesy of a generous layer of Adidas’ Boost foam. This version comes with key upgrades for plowing through wet weather.

Hoka Challenger 6 GTX

If your favorite running route meanders from your front door to your local trails, the Challenger 6 GTX is the all-weather shoe to reach for. With its grooved rubber outsole and moderate cushioning, it’s designed as a hybrid that works equally well on pavement as it does on dirt.

Nike Winflo 9 Shield

Waterproof running shoes usually command a premium over regular running shoes, but Nike’s Winflo 9 Shield bucks that trend. This modified version of the brand’s everyday trainer features a water-repellent finish on the upper, insulation to keep your feet warm, and waterproof “skins” around the toes to block out light precipitation.

Brooks Cascadia 16 GTX

The Brooks Cascadia offers runners a plush, protective ride on the trail. The latest version comes with even more lightweight DNA Loft foam for a comfy feel, and a rock plate embedded in the midsole protects your feet from sharp rocks or roots.

Best cushioned trail shoe

For some, running in wet weather means heading straight for the treadmill. But a rainy forecast doesn’t have to keep you indoors — with the right gear, you can get your miles outside and stay comfortable while doing it. Waterproof running shoes are a critical piece of gear in these scenarios. They’ll resist raindrops and splashes so your feet stay dry even when everything around you is soaking wet. That way, you can focus on your pace instead of what the weather’s doing.

Our goal here is simple:  to help you live a more adventurous,  eventful and engaging life.
