I wear Skechers most of the time for any kind of outing and have many pairs due to their overall comfort. So I was very happy to receive them. I've owned them for about 12 months now. While comfortable enough, they really let me down in the waterproof category. I don't expect perfection, especially when it comes to exceeding expectations. However, they should keep their feet dry when it's not raining and the moisture is only from dew. As someone who likes to gamble early in the day, Tau is a common occurrence. Unfortunately there is no protection, not even dew protection. After a few holes, my feet got wet. It is unlikely that I would buy them again.
