Shoes for the wet season

My go-to pair during the wet season is from Merrell. They've proven themselves again the past weeks when we had heavy rains due to the typhoons and monsoon.

My go-to shoes for the wet season are also my preferred ones for field work

.

These are water resistant (proven in my experience) and I usually get the ones with the Vibram soles.

The treads on these provide good grip on most surfaces I’m on whether in the office or in the field.

To me, their shoes have been very dependable and durable, and I’ve had maybe 5 or more pairs over the more than 2 decades I’ve used them. That’s about 4 years per pair even considering my shoe rotation (I also have other shoes, of course. ) I would say that they’re better than the Adidas Terrex shoes I’ve also had and perhaps at par with the GT Hawkins I had when I was a student in Japan. I hope the quality is maintained for these durable shoes that is my preferred pair for the wet season and for field work.
