Water-repellent shoes for men
Have you ever had cold feet? Sure, we all have - literally and figuratively. But what's worse than having really cold feet? Namely, those caused by wet shoes. When the weather is wet, you should be prepared for your surroundings with suitable water-repellent footwear.
The Mizzles from Allbirds are your answer. With an OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certified fluorine-free water repellent coating, every shoe in the Mizzles collection provides an effective barrier between normal precipitation and the occasional splash from a puddle. That means you can make the brave walk from the parking lot to the store in the rain without getting your feet wet. Or taking the subway to the office. Or to take the dog for a walk. You get the idea.
And with options like our retro-style high-top runner ups, you can even add some extra ankle coverage to the mix of waterproof footwear.
How long do the shoes remain water-repellent?
The OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT-certified, water-repellent coating of the Allbirds Mizzles is quite fascinating - but its effectiveness can diminish over time, depending on the conditions in which you wear them and how well they are cared for. Heavy use, especially in wet conditions, can wear down the water-repellent properties of the shoe more quickly.
Can Allbirds shoes be worn in the rain?
Yes - but not every Allbirds model is suitable for the rain. If you're looking for water-repellent shoes for everyday wear, we recommend the Mizzles, which have a breathable, bio-based shield and a wool upper treated with a water-repellent coating.
The Men's Trail Runners SWT, an all-terrain running shoe, also has a durable, water-repellent coating that prevents the shoes from getting soaked by the occasional puddle.
If you forget your umbrella and your Allbirds shoes are completely soaked, we recommend letting them dry in the sun. You can find more care tips here.
Which shoe material is suitable for rain?
While many water-repellent shoes are made from synthetic materials, Allbirds uses more environmentally friendly materials.
Water-repellent shoes like the Mizzles are made with a durable merino wool upper and treated with a bio-based water-repellent coating, making them ideal for rainy weather and wet conditions.
Or try the Trail Runner SWTs, our signature hiking and trail running shoes that won't let you down in wet conditions. The materials of the SWT - from "Sugar, Wool, Tree" - are a triple whammy of sustainable materials: SweetFoam® midsole made from sugar cane with an upper made from wool and eucalyptus tree fibers.
