Waterproof Trainers

Waterproof trainers for mens and womens are lightweight, low-cut trainers built with a breathable waterproof membrane that keeps water out while letting sweat escape — so feet stay dry on wet runs, walks and commutes without overheating. Hi-Tec trainers are built around the Dri-Tec membrane and grippy soles. 

A soaked-through trainer turns a good day damp and cold in minutes. Waterproof trainers are the fix — the same easy feel you like, with a barrier between your feet and the British weather. 

How do waterproof trainers work? 

A waterproof trainer’s membrane has pores too small for water to pass through from outside but big enough to let sweat vapour escape from inside. Hi-Tec’s Dri-Tec membrane keeps you dry from the puddle and from perspiration at once. 

A trainer that just sealed water out would leave feet damp with sweat within a mile. A water-repellent outer keeps wet grass, puddles and rain outside where they belong. 

What makes Hi-Tec waterproof trainers different? 

Dri-Tec keeps water out and lets moisture escape, tested to last. Trail-grade grip gives sure footing on wet pavements and paths. And they keep all the easy, lightweight feel of a normal trainer. 

When should you wear waterproof trainers? 

Wear them whenever the ground’s wet, but you don’t want a full boot: the commute, dog walks, light trails, travel in unpredictable weather, or the school run in the rain. In the British climate, they become the shoes you live in from autumn through spring.

How long do they stay waterproof?
