Reviews customers found most helpful:

"These are solid shoes. They fit tighter than the original runners and have a bit of a break-in period, but they're comfortable after wearing them for a couple of days. Tested the waterproofing and it worked very well for a running shoe. Some might not need to downsize like with original runners." - Edward K.

Verified Buyer

"This shoe is a must-have for nurses seeking reliable performance and all-day comfort in their work footwear." - Tabby F.

Discovery why the Adapt Waterproof Runner had to exist โ†’

We started the journey with a brainstorm of everything weโ€™d want from the waterproof shoe.

Lightweight, Stretchy, Breathable, Withstand hours of wet conditions, and comfortable

Where others tried, we succeeded.

At Flux we donโ€™t just make shoes, we make better shoes.

After putting hundreds of fabrics to the test we finally found the ultimate pairing: our AdaptKnit Upper + a stretch waterproof lining provided previous unachieved breathability and comfort.

Whether you get stuck in a spontaneous downpour or slugging through sloppy snow. These shoes have your and your socks covered.

Stay Dry. Move More.

Stay Dry

Our AdaptKnitโ„ข upper is lined with a waterproof stretchy material that keeps liquid out and lets your feet breathe.

Unmatched Comfort

The removable AdaptSolโ„ข insole includes over 100 nodes that massage your feet and provide comfort with every step.

Take On Any Terrain

Lightweight and cushioned. The rubber AdaptTreadโ„ข outsole provides the ultimate traction for any adventure, wet or dry.

    Good looker

    I love the design, feel, light weight of shoe. But they tend to run small. I usually wear 7 in training /walking/cunning shoes with socks ( no shoe style). My usual 7 only allowed for bare foot. I couldnโ€™t use a sock. So Iโ€™m hoping to exchange them for 7 1/2 size.

    Amazing!

    These waterproof runners are heaven. They are a bit stiffer than the regular adapt runners but again they wear beautifully and there is minimal break in time.

    Thanks for my 58 year old toes feeling free and no more Tailors Bunion pain . Super quiet on my big wood floor. ๐ŸŒธMy first concealed 0 drop shoes have also helped with management of my right hip pain. I needed a replacement about a year ago. But with 30 pounds off and my new flux feet no hip pain either. All day house chores plus a daily 2 mile walk around my hood . Next is waterproof, then trail then start collecting all the colors ๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿกโ˜”๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ˜ธ๐Ÿ˜บ๐Ÿˆ I started with the Adapt Runner .

Wearing bulky shoes is like keeping your feet in casts. Sure, theyโ€™re temporarily safe, and may even be able to recover from overuse, but this is merely a band-aid, not a long term solution. Your body works and feels best when itโ€™s being used and appropriately challenged.

  • Stronger Feet:ย Traditional shoes restrict movement and weaken foot muscles over time. Barefoot shoes promote natural movement, strengthening muscles in the feet, ankles, and lower legs for better stability and strength.
  • Happier Toes: A wide toe-box gives your toes freedom to wiggle and flex. This builds up their strength and flexibility, making it easier to move around without hurting your ankles or knees.
  • Balanced Stride: A zero-drop design, meaning your heel and forefoot are on the same level, gives you a natural, graceful stride that takes the strain off your joints and perks up your posture.

"Barefoot shoes" is a general term for shoes that optimize the natural biomechanics of the human foot. To achieve that, our shoes feature excellent flexibility, zero-drop (no heel raise), and a generous toe-box to accomodate the foot's natural shape.
