I love the wet weather. Taking long walks in rain or even cycling in it gives fills me with enthusiasm, optimism and rejuvenation! The smell of wet mud in the air, the feel of water on your face and the fresh green colors from plants and trees all around gives me a feeling no other experience can give.
Getting wet on the feet however makes such walks or rides extremely difficult. Regular sneakers being very breathable, don’t have enough water protection or even the grip necessary to adequately venture in such weather. So I decided to move beyond my sneakers and give some waterproof hiking shoes a try.
I went for the Salomon X Ultra 2 Gore-Tex® Waterproof Hiking Shoes and I wanted to share how much I love them now. I wear them for my everyday commute which involves long walks or cycle rides. These shoes have extremely reliable GORE-TEX weather protection. However it goes beyond standard hiking shoes in the fact that they are extremely lightweight and relatively sleek which makes them a great everyday wear. In addition, being hiking shoes from a very respectable brand, these shoes provide un-matched comfort and grip to make you go longer and bring you back safe 🙂
