They say "April showers bring May flowers," but they left out the part where it also brings muddy puddles, soggy socks, and ruined sneakers.

Most sneakers today are made out of knit or mesh for lightweight performance, or basic leather for a classic aesthetic - but neither is ideal for the rain. Most people think that clunky boots for the rain are the only viable solution to staying dry, but there are certain sneakers made specifically for rugged and wet outdoor conditions.

So, to help you stay warm, dry, and comfortable this spring, we rounded up eight pairs of sneakers to wear during unpredictable weather. Whether big rubber rain boots simply aren't your style or you like to stay active regardless of how gloomy it is outside, these are the best choices on the market - including all-terrain mids from Adidas, water-repellent runners from Nike, Goretex-lined streetwear sneakers from New Balance, and more.
