I live in the NorthWest and, if you didn't know, it rains quite a lot. I was in the market for a waterproof athletic pair of shoes that I could wear to my son's baseball games and to work when it was wet outside. These shoes fit the bill to a "T". I've worn them to many soggy, muddy games. I've even walked through puddles that covered the tops of the shoes. My feet remained completely DRY - these shoes are amazing! They also clean up very well. Just take a brush and some water and they're ready for the office. They dry pretty quickly too.
The only con is that it took a good day or two to break them in. They run a 1/2 small so order 1/2 larger.
