The best Nike waterproof running shoes

Whether you live in a wet climate or just revel in rainy runs, it's important to be prepared for whatever conditions creep up. The best waterproof running shoes block out moisture, even when you're navigating rain, mud and puddles, while providing the same level of comfort and support you expect from a quality shoe.

At baseline, a waterproof running shoe should keep you dry from start to finish. However, the right sneaker also needs to suit your individual needs and be durable enough for rough terrains. Nike has been a leader in waterproof running shoes for years, helping to keep you comfortable when the weather is anything but. With features like water-repelling GORE-TEX uppers, enhanced toe covers and sturdy rubber outsoles, these shoes are designed to leave you feeling supported and dry for the miles ahead.

The Nike Pegasus Trail 5 GORE-TEX is designed with features to help you navigate less technical terrain in wet conditions. These shoes have an all-new Nike Trail All-Terrain Compound rubber outsole to maximise grip, along with an enhanced toe cap for extra durability up front. The midsole features React X foam, which gives you responsive cushioning for an energised ride. The upper is crafted with GORE-TEX Invisible Fit to help keep water where it belongs—outside your shoe.

Cold-weather running comes with its own set of challenges, including wet road conditions. The Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 41 GORE-TEX—the wet weather counterpart to Nike's popular Pegasus 41—features a GORE-TEX Invisible Fit upper for waterproof and wind proof protection, along with insulation to keep you warm and dry, even when it's freezing outside.

A Storm Tread outsole helps provide stable footing as you're cruising over wet and slippery roads. The shoe also features two Air Zoom units, one in the forefoot and one in the heel, and a ReactX foam suspension and Zoom Air technology midsole for a slightly springy feel with each step.
