If you’re going for a hike, you want to be sure that your shoes can stand up to some weather. While I have tested many water-resistant shoes in my quest to find the best walking shoes, I’ve only found two truly waterproof pairs.

The Adidas Terrex Free Hiker Low is the current best waterproof shoe, but earlier in the year, I tested the Columbia Peakfreak Rush Outdry and it became my new number one.

Last time I covered the Peakfreak, it was 50% off. At the time, it was the biggest discount I’d seen.

Today, Amazon said, “hold my drink,” and reduced it even further, with prices starting at $61, which is a wallet-opening 51% off full price.

So I say again, this is the cheapest I have ever seen these shoes sell for. Snap them up before the deal is gone!

This shoe is ideal for a day on the trail, and is comfortable enough to wear on a wet day about town, too.

You won’t be making the most of the unshakably grippy outsole by only wearing them on concrete, but if you want dry socks, there’s no better alternative.

I reach for these as often as I reach for a pair of rain boots for a dog walk on a wet day. But if it’s slippery underfoot too, I always choose the Peakfreak without hesitation.
