So I am clueless here...  the uppers are waterproof BUT...  the soles actually LET water in! I wear these shoes casually and I THOUGHT that they were great shoes, that is until I wore them out after it had rained. Any little amount of water on the ground can be drawn up through the soles of these little beauties! NOT GOOD when it is 50' outside and you have socks on...  SERIOUSLY? I understand the thought process here with shoes that let water out of them to help the drying process BUT who makes shoes that let water in?  And of course I am equally baffled as to why anyone wasted money on the waterproof uppers...  WHY? All the water on the ground can funnel up through the bottom while the uppers stay nice and dry! Laughable! I am returning mine!
