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)?

Mukishoes is out of portugal and they will also resole your shoes for you for cheap when the soles wear out.

They have a leather shoe that is kind of sneaker style, but oil it up with a leather conditioner and it is waterproof. I live in Belgium, so very rainy and my feet have yet to get wet in them using mink oil IIRC (Definitely buy the wool insole though because they have thin minimalist soles so it gets cold when temp dips <0)

Never heard of this one. Thank you. Looks like they're worth considering for my use, too.
