Gortex rocks!
I've been looking for a pair of all-purpose hiking/cross-training shoes that were waterproof, but comfortable. These are the shoes. They are made with Gore-Tex so they keep the water out. However, I recommend putting a few coats of waterproofing spray to extend the life of the shoe. On a side note, I usually wear a 7 1/2 M so I ordered a 7 1/2 M...they fit perfect. These shoes are in the stores for 0 right now, so anything less than that is a steal!
sizing
I am at a loss. Am a 9.5-10 usually, so I ordered an 11! Way too big. Perhaps they do run true to size, and not what description says...

Training Tips
Did you know that to lose approximately one pound of fat, an average adult would have to walk 30 miles? You don't have to walk those 30 miles all at once.
If you consume 100 calories a day more than you need, you will gain about 10 pounds in a year. A reasonable combination of diet and exercise can help control your weight. The key is to balance your caloric intake with the amount of exercise.
You can increase your maximum oxygen consumption by approximately 15% when you work out three times a week for at least 30 minutes at 70% of your maximum heart rate.
Low weight, high rep circuit training combines the best of both worlds: aerobic and anaerobic training. Keeping the rest time in between high repeats low excercises like bench press, leg presses, inclined sit-ups, and upright rows is the key to maximum benefits.
