The vast majority of all these waterproof gortex shoes are useless for us if we are constantly walking through wet grass which most of us are,they will resist water for a time but eventually will get wet through.
They are designed for walking in yes and getting damp  but not for getting wet through day in day out because you will still get wet feet,the Soloman ones I use are the best I’ve used as the outer material deals with water better than the others on the market at the moment.
If you want you’re feet to stay completely dry you’d be better off with leather Cat boots.

The best waterproof footwear are short wellies with a sealskin /dexshell type sock. Wellies usually make your feet sweat but the socks stop this happening. I have tried all types of footwear over the 28 yrs window cleaning and pressure washing and this is the solution.
I do wear gore tex shoes over the summer months
as wellies are a bit warm then.
