I've tested many water-resistant shoes in my quest to find the best walking shoes, but few are truly waterproof.

The Columbia Peakfreak Rush Outdry is not only completely waterproof, but is a five-star walking shoe too. I really couldn't fault it when I tested it earlier this year.

Usually, the low-top model retails at $130 and the high-top at $140, but both have significant discounts right now.

Amazon's Big Deals Days have brought it down to the lowest I've ever seen—it's now only $48.90.

This amazing deal is exclusively for Amazon Prime members, but you can sign up for a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial and get instant access to membership perks.

Looking for a boot rather than a shoe? No problem.

The Peakfreak Rush comes in a high-top version too, with more ankle support and the same impenetrable waterproofing.

Columbia's Peakfreak range is ideal for a wet day on the trail and is comfortable enough to wear on a wet day about town, too.

I reach for my Peakfreaks all the time for wet dog walks—if it’s icy underfoot too, there's no contest.

The grippy outsole has kept me upright more times than I'd like to admit.
