I want to purchase one of your womens trail running shoes. I am having difficulty determining which one is water proof. I live in Vancouver where it rains alot so I want a shoe that will keep my feet dry running in the mud and rain. Which one do you recommend?

Penny,When looking through the item description and Tech Specs it will usually say GTX or Gortex if the shoe has that particular waterproof membrane. Take a look at the trail shoes at http://www.backcountry.com/store/group/169/Womens-Trail-Run-Shoes.html and it should be easier to spot which shoes have GTX. I have had a good experience with the men's version of the Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra GTX Trail Running shoe http://www.backcountry.com/store/SAL1397/Salomon-XA-Pro-3D-Ultra-GTX-Trail-Running-Shoe-Womens.html. This shoe is light weight, waterproof, and comfortable. The other is The North Face Ultra 104 GTX XCR Trail Running Shoe http://www.backcountry.com/store/TNF2767/The-North-Face-Ultra-104-GTX-XCR-Trail-Running-Shoe-Womens.html. It is waterproof, a little more rugged (stiff and heavier), and provided more comfort then the Salomon. Hope that helps.Mahalo, Sumo
