Is this shoe water resistant? I want to go with something other than gore-tex for the heat factor. But need something water resistant enough to keep out heavy dew. I am thinking of this or the Speedcross 2. Any comments on the water resistant would be appreciated.

Jon, you won't get any (durable) waterproofness with anything else than a membrane or a bootie inserted into the shoe. Gore-tex is one of these bootie suppliers, but you also have other membranes that are "making the job". Don't forget as well that keeping the dew out means not running in high grass otherwise the water penetrates by the top of the shoe. In other words, there's no magic solution when it's really wet.
