Footwear built for the British weather rather than just tolerant of it. The waterproof range here covers genuinely sealed construction across trainers, boots and outdoor styles from brands that have put serious engineering into keeping water out without making footwear that feels like it belongs on an expedition. Timberland's injection moulded sole technology — which fuses the upper directly to the sole without stitching to create a sealed barrier — remains one of the most reliable waterproofing approaches in the market and several styles here use that construction.

On Running integrates its waterproof membrane into trail and all weather running styles that maintain the lightweight feel the brand is known for. Salomon brings outdoor trail construction to the range, with its technical waterproof styles crossing over well into urban everyday use. Ariat adds equestrian waterproofing to Chelsea and ankle boot styles built for long days in genuinely wet conditions, and Converse's waterproof Gore-Tex lined All Stars bring weatherproofing to one of the most recognisable trainer silhouettes in the world.
