*Ad-gifted – I received a pair of the Loom Footwear Waterproof Trainers in exchange for this post. Affiliate links are marked *

I love comfy shoes for walking. My poor tired feet were battered for 15 years wearing unsightly steel toecap safety boots in my old job. Now in my late 30s, I want shoes that cushion my feet while walking around Cornwall, pottering around the garden, and for the school run. They need to give my feet a bit of TLC. God that makes me sound old! So I was totally intrigued with finding out more about the *Loom Footwear waterproof trainers. Are they waterproof? Are they the answer to protecting your feet from the Cornish mizzle?

Let’s find out! But first here is a little about Loom Footwear.

Who Are Loom Footwear?

The Loom team is comprised of footwear enthusiasts around the world. They are top designers, engineers, ergonomic specialists, scientists, and adventurers, all putting their heads together in the offices in Hong Kong to build a better shoe and a better world.

They have put the best features of their favorite shoes into one, year-round, all-terrain package. So they are waterproof, windproof, comfortable, athletic, safe, stylish, and are the most versatile eco-friendly footwear on the planet. 

Introducing Breathable Vegan Waterproof Trainers

Yes, you read that right, the pair of Loom trainers (or sneakers if you wish!) that I got sent to try out are breathable vegan waterproof trainers. One shoe for all weathers! Rain, mud, snow, slush, you name it!

Style and Size

The Loom Footwear trainers come in two colours – Black and White and in men’s or women’s. Sizes start from UK 5 – UK 12 for men and UK 2.5 – UK 8.5 for women. The Loom sizing is based on EU sizes, so it’s about half a size smaller than USA size. They do suggest getting a size larger than the size you normally get or size up if you’re in between sizes.

Benefits of Loom Footwear

• Obviously, the main selling point is that they are waterproof. This is done by using moisture-wicking technology.
• Anti-odour and breatheable – Contains moisture-wicking material and antimicrobial properties that destroy bacteria in sweat that creates odour. Perfect if you are hiking and walking a long way! The material is breatheable therefore no sweaty feet.
• Durable, Lightweight and flexible so engineered for comfort. Walking those miles will never be hard on the feet again! The soles are designed to absorb shock, protecting your ankles, shins, and knees from hard terrain and rough surfaces.
• Stain resistant – The outer coating is designed to repel stains and can be easily washed with water. Which is important if you have the white pair to keep clean!
• Slip resistant – They have non marking rubber soles that provide excellent traction for dry or wet trails.
• Eco-Friendly – The Loom Footwear are made with cruelty-free material sourced from some of the most eco-friendly farms in the world.

Are The Loom Waterproof Trainers Really Waterproof?

They are comfy, stylish and will keep your feet dry. I’ve tested them. The past week has been very dry in Cornwall, so I got my trusty watering can out to test them. As you can see the water is repelled and runs straight off. They were bone dry inside after a drenching, so I can say YES the Loom waterproof trainers are waterproof!

Are There Any Negatives?

Do you know what? I can’t really think of any! The sizing is a little strange as they only come in half sizes. But I think that’s more to fit in with the USA market. I’m a UK size 8 so sized up to a UK 8.5 (USA 11) in the trainer, but they don’t feel too large at all. They are comfy and have room for thick socks if needed.

Are The Loom Waterproof Trainers Value For Money?

Yes. They are currently on sale for £71.11 (USD $99) and if you consider the technology involved, the comfort, the multi all-weather use and eco-friendly vegan materials used in manufacture they are superb value for money. Plus if you buy 2 pairs ( one for you and one for your partner – or both for you!) you can save $35.

Overall Thoughts

I love them! The Loomwear waterproof trainers are a design triumph! I’m a very outdoorsy person, exploring where we live in Cornwall, and walking twice a day on the school run in all weathers. Good footwear is a must to keep dry and protect my feet and now I’ve found the shoe to do that! They are super stylish and fun to wear. Thanks to Loom Footwear for designing a trainer to fit in with my lifestyle, they are the bee’s knees!
