It's rained almost every weekend recently. I need to invest in a pair of these waterproof styles.
Customer Review: "Great sneakers and add a little lift. Really are waterproof. My socks stay dry on dog walks in Seattle and LA! I would recommend them and buy them again." — Nordstrom reviewer
Thought I saw a designer resemblance, and then I spotted this review…
Customer Review: "A huge fan of New Balance sneakers; super light, comfy, and classic. Bought these and arrived today. Fits very comfortable, slightly on the roomy side but I will just wear thicker socks. LOVE!" — Nordstrom reviewer
PS: I tossed in some chic activewear finds if you're after a marked-down ensemble.
