Dude, one of your best episodes yet. I'm not aware of anyone else in the review world that does anything approaching the job that you do as pertains to waterproof shoes. kudos! Bang up show! For your specific genre in the sneaker world, not only lifestyle shoes but doing crossover shoes that can cross over from Sports to Lifestyle applications nobody even holds a candle to you. I am eternally grateful for the vast wealth of information that you put out there that is Uniquely Yours and can't be found anywhere else.

I ordered a pair of the Nike trial 5. Had the trial 4 previously and I have to say I am shocked by how uncomfortable they are. They fit fine size wise but don’t feel wide enough. I’ve never had any issue with trainers before. These just feel to tight, to the point I am sending them back. Only came back here to look what else was on the list for gore tex runners

Glad you've found some decent trainers. Frankly over the last 3 years I've had various Salomon, Adidas, Hoka, Scarpa and Inov shoes and not found any of them to be waterproof from day 1; whether they were event, gore Tex or proprietary waterproofing. Infact, in the case of the Salomon and Hoka shoes, I think I would have been better off wearing a sieve

Alert for On waterproof sneakers, will squeak a lot when water comes into holes. I don't wear my On cloud 5 waterproof on wet days bcs of that. Tried these Adidas, New Balance and Hoka in store, left the store with Asics Trabuco 12 GTX. Hoka felt the worst for me on foot. I'm finished with Nike, loose waterproofing so quickly.

I wish the Nike P5 were better. The P4’s to me are the best. All they needed to do was make the tongue cut higher so was not too low. Even thought never had any problems water wise. And better lasting rubber sole. For me the stretchy sock thing I love that and how the pull tabs help just slide them on keeps the heal from going bad. NewBalance GTX seem the next best thing. The older ultra boost GTX did good just don’t seem to make them anymore or they making lower end ones.

That's a relatively new shoe company based in Canada and owned by Chinese people, I'm referring to their Heritage and not necessarily the citizenship status? I think that they're Canadian citizens but not positive. The ones that I've got to see up close and in person seem okay but vastly overpriced in my opinion anyway. They had a clever marketing scheme that threw them into the spotlight overnight basically. They had a campaign of mailing them out for free to every social influencer they can think of and got gobs of free exposure that way. Pretty clever idea . What I don't like is them using that leverage to put what seems to be an okay shoe at a top shelf shoe price point when I don't believe it to be a top shelf shoe. That being said I have not worn a pair I've only seen one up close and in person worn by a coworker at work that seemed happy with them. I was cool with them and thought they had a history that was very interesting and a unique marketing strategy come on but the price is a bit hard to swallow especially in these times where people just don't have a bunch of disposable income and the world is in recession or at least close to it apparently the United States is doing better with inflation than the rest of the developed world. But prices on everything at my local Kroger went up 10 cents on the dollar about 2 weeks ago, so there's that. I don't understand all these companies reporting record profits 17 Tennis League complaining about some sort of artificial supply chain issue and raising prices even further and without any justifiable cause other than pure and filthy corporate greed. I find it disgusting and it should be criminalized. The prices of things required to survive such as food are approaching the point of what I would call "usury". And I will agree with you that would be an excellent choice of shoe to actually see him do a road test on because they certainly put them out there as the best shoes and I don't believe that they are . But that being said my opinion is only somewhat educated and not completely. I do know that they're made all over southeast Asia in taiwan, vietnam, and China, all the places that are okay with child labor. So I would like to learn more specifics about labor protocols at their factories.
