You lace them at the door on a wet cold morning and the plush collar closes soft around your ankle as you step into the drizzle.

These are winter high tops built like a modern trainer but made for the cold. The upper is a single molded piece of water repellent synthetic, embossed with a wave pattern down the side, so light rain and slush bead off rather than soak in. A high sock style collar lined with soft plush fleece wraps the ankle, and the front laces let you set the fit snug. They are made to shrug off a wet commute and keep the foot warm.

Underneath sits a thick molded sole that lifts the foot off cold ground and cushions each step. The toe is round, the shaft is a short ankle tube around 10 to 20 cm, and the whole shoe reads chunky and modern. They come in black and gray, in men's European size pairs from 40 up to 47.

Why It Works

A mesh trainer soaks through and lets the wind in. This one swaps the mesh for a molded water repellent upper and adds a plush lined collar, so it keeps the sneaker shape while doing the two jobs winter asks for: staying dry and staying warm.

How It Fits Your Routine

On a drizzly cold morning you lace them and head out, the molded upper shedding the wet while the plush collar keeps the chill off your ankle on the walk to the station.

They are best for wet and cold rather than deep standing water, since the laced tongue is not a sealed seam. Wipe the molded upper clean with a damp cloth and let the fleece collar air out overnight so it stays dry and lofted.
