Is the Skechers Nordain actually waterproof?

Yes. The Gore-Tex membrane blocks rain and puddles while letting some moisture escape. It is not meant for standing in deep water.

Do I need to break them in?

Most owners wear them straight away. The slip-in heel collar can feel snug for the first few wears, so short walks first help.

The Nordain adds a Gore-Tex waterproof upper and a Contour Foam midsole. Standard Slip-ins are lighter and cheaper but not waterproof.

Yes, on a cold, gentle machine cycle, then air dry. Skip the dryer, which can damage the foam and the waterproof membrane.

Most buyers take their usual size. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, consider going up half a size because only normal width is offered.

One pair of shoes. No extra laces or insoles are included.
