Padders shoes let in water. Even during normal town use, if it begins to rain your feet will be soaked.
This has happened with two pairs of Padders and the firm do not have any response other than to say they are not water tight.
From a walking point of view this makes them next to useless, despite them being very comfortable.
I think the firm ought to address this problem and not let customers find out for themselves.
Where they to do this, their shoes would be unbeatable, but as it is they are almost useless for normal town walking.
