These shoes are not waterproof. They might be water-resistant in the beginning, but over time this feature deteriorates in all shoes.
Please note that in order to avoid stains on the shoe upper the soles are not glued all the way to the edge. The soles are therefore properly glued, and the small gap at the edge of the sole is not a manufacturing defect. With use the gap may become more obvious because the sole of the barefoot shoe is flexible. However, it doesn't mean that the sole is deattaching, there is no loss of function and therefore these cases are not considered as claims.
Leather shoes should be cleaned and treated regularly. For treatment, we recommend beeswax or other natural shoe wax, which keeps the leather flexible, soft, durable and makes the leather surface more water-repellent. You can further improve the water resistance with various protective sprays, i.e. impregnants. However, impregnations do not replace shoe wax. For cleaning, we recommend shoe soap intended for shoes.
