To choose the best waterproof sneakers, we first asked Gretchen A. Lawrence, DPM, a podiatrist in Shelby, North Carolina and David Kilgore, a professional trail runner, which features they think every pair should have.Then, we researched dozens of sneakers from the top, trusted brands. We considered style, comfort, breathability, support, and traction. We also looked at the price, fit, and materials to ensure each pair of sneakers was fully waterproof.

Boost midsole cushioning provides energy returning support that helps push you through each step with ease. Primeknit uppers wrap your foot in adaptive ankle support while high top boots provide strong support. Also, factor in each school’s slightly different uniform guidelines and school shoe shopping can become a bit of a minefield. Thankfully there are loads of retailers out there with footwear ranges specially designed for school – whether it be for PE sessions, outdoor play or walking from one class to the next. The shoes feature a plush, foam sole that definitely earns their “cloud” name, providing a cushioned landing and support through the midfoot. Plus, the tongue is padded for even more comfort.The one downside of the shoes’ effective waterproofing is that they’re not very breathable, so your feet may get hot in warm conditions. Also, these shoes don’t have as much blister protection as other pairs on our list. Because we know that there’s nothing like a real recommendation, we first headed to the Mumsnet Forum to find out which school shoes parents were recommending and had bought for their kids. We took special note of what parents said about the overall quality, design and comfort level of the shoe, plus additional factors like the material used, heel height and fastening mechanism. Having collated all that information, we then spent around 10-12 hours narrowing our list down to the top 15 school shoes on the market. We chose unisex school shoes as well as the best options for girls and boys in a variety of styles for all seasons. Why you should trust us

School shoes are expensive. I do Clarks outlet which makes them a fair bit cheaper. But they last the whole school year, worn every day, playing football at lunchtime… you do actually get your money’s worth." OkOkWhatsNext We like that the extra traction at the toe and heel enhances the shoe’s overall stability and traction, especially for uphill and downhill running. Despite all its technical features, this shoe isn’t bulky or stiff, and it boasts a sleek, attractive style. While waterproof sneakers will never be as breathable as ones that are made of well-ventilated, lightweight material, they should still offer some degree of breathability. For instance, sneakers with mesh uppers (like On Cloud 5’s Waterproof Shoes) will keep out water, but will also allow heat and sweat to escape. Look for a pair that feels comfortable and cool to wear, even after a long day.When purchasing waterproof sneakers, getting the right fit is crucial—especially if you’re going to be running or hiking in them. “A well-fitting shoe can be the determining factor in prevention of injury,” Dr. Lawrence says. Your sneakers shouldn’t be so tight that there isn’t room for your toes to move, and they shouldn’t be so loose that your feet are sliding or slipping out of the shoe.

Clarks has been making kids’ shoes for over 70 years, so it’s no surprise Mumsnetters rate it as the best place to buy school shoes.

For boys, you can’t go wrong with the Start-Rite Children’s Rhino Warriors. How we chose our recommendations Tried and tested by our users Despite all of these features, the shoe is flexible, which helps prevent foot fatigue after hours of wear. When testing, we found these shoes to be super lightweight, which is unusual for waterproof trail running shoes. We found them super comfortable and responsive, right out of the box—no break-in period required. We went with the Asda ones and they are well made, sturdy & will wear out eventually but even two pairs of them are cheaper than one Clarks set" PsychoPumpkinWaterproof sneakers tend to be heavier and stiffer compared to regular pairs, which isn’t ideal for running. But the Saucony Peregrine 12 GTX offers a lightweight feel, even with its superior construction. It’s designed to keep out the elements, so you’ll be ready for anything on your run. The upper also features pliable overlays that provide further protection against bad weather. When testing this shoe, we particularly liked the fact that the upper is very breathable and comfortable, while still offering optimal protection. Look for a chunky sole that offers a bit of toe protection, as this is the part of the shoe that gets bashed the most. It’s wise to strike a balance between price and quality, as kids’ feet can grow overnight. So, leave it as late as you can before buying shoes for school, make sure they fit comfortably and have a bit of room for growth. Our list includes a variety of budget-friendly options (that are still great quality), as well as the classic school shoes from the likes of Clarks and Start-Rite. Celebrated best products We love the shoe’s foam insoles, which provide cushioned comfort and support for all 18 holes. They’re also removable, so they’re easy to clean or replace with your own custom orthotics. While these golf shoes provide excellent traction on the course, the outsole is fairly low-profile, so you can easily walk in them when you’re headed to the clubhouse.
