I love this shoe, It is very comfortable and I can walk long distances wearing it so its a great shoe for wearing when traveling and sightseeing. As I live in a dry climate the shoe is perfect for me most of the year.  However even here it does rain and when it does I've been very surprised to find that this shoe is not waterproof at all. I've had other loafers that have been watertight when forced to walk though minor puddles but this one lets the water in which is disappointing.
