I bought some Karrimor shoes from Sports Direct not so long ago and got to put them through their paces with the poor weather we've been having recently. Unfortunately they have been giving my right ankle a lot of pain, I think it has something to do with how the sole has been molded as it literally feels like it is trying to push my foot over away from my body. Also the shoes failed miserably in the wet slush and when I got home my socks and feet were very wet. But I can't remember what style they are so I can't check to see if they are advertised as water proof.
