Is the Skechers Oak Canyon Rydell truly waterproof?

Yes. It has a waterproof membrane under the suede upper, and owners report dry feet in rain and wet grass. It is water-resistant footwear, not a wading boot, so deep puddles can still get in over the collar.

How does the wide fit compare with regular Skechers?

It uses Skechers' Relaxed Fit last, which is wider through the toe box than standard Skechers sneakers. Men who normally size up to get width often stay at their usual size here.

Can I use it for hiking?

For flat, well-groomed trails and gravel paths, yes. The soft foam insole and shallow synthetic outsole are not built for steep, rocky or muddy terrain, where a lugged hiking shoe grips better.

Does it run true to size?

Most owners say it fits true to size, and the wide cut leaves room for thicker socks. If you are between sizes and want a snug fit, consider the smaller size.

What is the upper made of?

The upper is suede with a textile lining. Suede resists light rain but needs brushing and a protector spray to stay looking clean.

Is it good for standing all day?

It works for light standing and walking, but the foam insole is soft rather than firm. People who stand on hard floors for long shifts often want a firmer, more supportive insole.
