Is the Weekend Classic actually waterproof?

The upper uses Dyma-tex 4-way stretch knit, which the brand describes as waterproof. It handles rain and puddles, but it is a knit shoe, not a rubber boot, so deep water can still come over the top.

Can I run or train in it?

No. It is a casual walking sneaker with a soft cushioning midsole and a flexible knit upper. It lacks the stability and outsole grip of a running shoe.

The 4-way stretch knit is designed to flex with the foot and suit a range of widths. Owners with wider feet generally report a comfortable fit without sizing up.

Is it good for hot weather?

It is the weakest point. The waterproof membrane reduces airflow, and many owners say the shoe runs warm in summer heat.

How does it compare with a leather sneaker?

It is lighter and more flexible, and it keeps water out better than most leather sneakers. A leather shoe offers more structure and holds its shape longer.
