I live in a very rainy place (esp in the autumn and winter), and since i started cycling to work I ruined 2 pairs of shoes in the rain.

Do you guys have recommandations for sneakers which look like actual sneakers but are 100% waterproof (not just water resistant)?

    I’d suggest, depending on weather and exposure, simply getting shoes that can get wet and easily dry out and keeping a pair for indoors your bag.

      A friend of mine is an all-weather, all-season cyclist and will generally wear crocs barefoot when cycling, changing to dry shoes when he gets to where he’s going.

            I’m calling bullshit. There’s no way your friend is riding barefoot in crocs during Canadian winters.

              He does, but I honestly don’t care if you believe me. I’ll just say it’s such an amazing feeling having your lived experience called bullshit. I hope that was fun for you.
