Is the Forsake Dispatch Mid actually waterproof?

Yes. It uses a waterproof membrane under a leather and mesh upper, so rain and shallow puddles stay out. It is not a wading boot for deep water.

How does it fit compared to other sneakers?

It runs in a medium width and most buyers take their usual sneaker size. The mid cut and leather upper feel snug at first, so wide feet may want to size up.

For light trails, gravel and wet city walks, yes. The lugged outsole and ankle coverage handle that. For rocky or long backcountry hikes, a dedicated hiking boot gives more support.

Is it good for summer wear?

It is better for spring, fall and wet days. The waterproof layer traps heat, so it feels warm in hot weather despite the perforated mesh.

What is the difference between the Dispatch Mid and a low-cut sneaker?

The mid cut adds ankle coverage and a bit more protection from splashes and debris. It also adds weight and bulk compared with a low-cut casual sneaker.

How should I care for the leather upper?

Wipe off mud with a damp cloth and let the shoes air dry away from direct heat. A leather conditioner keeps the upper from drying out, and the membrane needs no treatment.

About the Forsake Dispatch Mid Men's

The Forsake Dispatch Mid is a men's leather-and-mesh sneaker built for wet, mixed-terrain days. It pairs a waterproof membrane with a lugged rubber outsole, so it works as a rain shoe, a light hiker and a casual everyday sneaker. Owners rate it highly for comfort out of the box and for keeping feet dry. It is heavier and stiffer than a running shoe, so it suits walking and commuting more than long trail miles.
