A few months ago, I posted asking for recommendations for shoes I could wear for walking in summer wet weather. Many of you were kind enough to share your thoughts, so I thought I’d report back!
What I bought:
Shoes: Frankie4 Winnie II white
This is a very neat sneaker, leather outer and lined with thin leather or fabric. The thin lining is key to not overheating! It’s got good sole cushioning, and can be customised for a range of different fit needs by using the inner sole kit. Sprayed with water repellent, they have kept me dry, and dried quickly. Which is a good thing, as we are having an exceptionally wet time on the east coast of Australia!
Socks- Falke Hidden Dry
Having struggled to find unobtrusive socks that did not slip under my foot, these actually manage to stay up. The Dry range is good for summer, being light weight. Inspired by my success, I’m also going to try their comfort version.
Coat- Stutterheim Mosebacke Lightweight in yellow
This is a well constructed rain coat for urban casual settings. Made of unlined, lightweight PU, I’m finding it comfortable in the warm humid conditions. Of course you do get soggy knees from the drip line, but I’m ok with that.
