Sidi Dominators - keep much water out?

i need some new shoes - current ones have finally bitten the dust.
Consensus seems to be the Dominators but just wanted to check from peeps who have em already if they keep much water out in a light shower? Do they take long to dry? Can you take the insoles out to dry them separately? Questions questions!

cheers if you can offer any answers :-)

The insoles can be removed. They are not bad in a light shower but on a morning like today they'll get soaked. Mine are normally dry-ish by late afternoon when it's time to head home.

nice one - cheers andy. that's what I'm after, something that will dry enough during the day. stupidly got a pair of those suede pearl izumi's about 4 yrs ago - take about 2 days for them to dry.

I keep some newspaper in my desk at work too - stuff that in in the morning, remove it at lunchtime and open the shoes up and they are normally dry in the evening.

i don't know of any waterproof shoes cause the water runs down your leg and into the top. overshoes would help more but its a bit OTT for a commute. Andys plan is the best. although using paper towels or old ripped up towels from home stop the black ink from coming off

cheers guys - and thanks mr tedious, good to know we have a human thesaurus on the forum - may get back to you next time I'm stuck for a word alternative

They are better than a lot of shoes since there's no mesh to let the water in. However, they're also warmer when the sun's shining for the same reason. BTW, I took the first ride with full mudguards on my bike (including front mudflap) and my shoes were completely dry!

full length guards defninitely the way to keep surface water off your feet - think I prefer wet feet though to the full-guarded look though ;-)
