The outfield grass has been long & wet for early morning games. My mesh turf shoes have gotten soaked and stayed wet all day. I bring extra socks, but they don't stay dry long in the wet shoes.

Are there any waterproof or highly water resistant softball turf shoes (I would also consider molded cleats)?

Chi, not aware of waterproof shoes, the only way I combat the wet feet is to have 2 pair of shoes.
Also came in handy when one of my teammates left his in the trunk of his car when we carpooled to an out of state tournament.
As luck would have it, we are the same size foot.

Wet grass? Kind of remember what that was like.
Just move West, problem solved.

It doesn't happen very often here in Arizona, but every now and then we'll get some rain or the conditions for a heavy due on the fields in November-January. I bought some New Balance trail running shoes that have a Gore-tex upper to use for those specific conditions. I usually forget that I have them, but it's NOT that big a deal since I'm a dirt guy and NOT a grass guy. The Gore-tex shoes sure are nice when I do remember to bring them to a wet field.

When I get new batting practice balls. I spray them and my shoes with a water repellant from a camping store works well

If the shoes have holes in them (as for breathing) you won't pervent getting soaked. If a good quality shoe or even if not, you might try ScotchGuard on an old pair to see if it works for you.

Prevent not the other.

Might want to look at this as well.

Check out Salomon Climashield Speedcross 3 trail running shoes.

Has anyone ever tried using waterproofing spray on turf shoes to see how that worked? I am also looking for a solution. I'm tired of having my feet soaking wet from BP before the first game and in early games when the dew makes the grass so wet. I've been looking at Salomon shoes but can't find them in the style I like with the width I need.

I've been using 'Camp Dry' for many years... on both Boombah turf shoes and assorted cross trainers. It seems to work fine...
I spray it on them as soon as I take them out of the box and then leave them alone for 1-2 days... never have needed to do it again.

Thanks for the info "Wood". I will check it out.

Taits, I remember seeing that hydrophobic video when it came out. I haven't seen an actual product yet. Hiking/backpacking is my other recreational pursuit, and I've used various methods for waterproofing gear.

Wood, I haven't tried Camp Dry or other spray waterproofing (like Tectron) on my Boombah turf shoes, but it's worth a try. I suspect it might delay but not fully prevent a soak-thru on mesh uppers.

Gloffer, waterproof trail runners might be worth checking out, providing the sole isn't too heavy and the traction is good on wet grass. I could also use them for hiking.

Perhaps k man has the simplest/cheapest solution, which is to have an extra (dry) pair to use after the field dries out.

Inreading up on many of these products I notices some (not all) have a negative side to their use... deteriation of leather and laces for some of them. So you need to read the labels err do research before using.
If you use a real old school shoe maker, ask what he'd recommend.

Taits:
A pair of Boombah turf shoes cost about $45 + shipping + a sponge insole ($3)... so call it $55-60. I'm not totally concerned about the long term health of the shoes as I view them as 'disposable'.
However, in my use of camp Dry over the past 7-8 years I have not noticed any issues with the laces or the upper elements.
But I did fail to research it thoroughly prior to use. I tend to neglect this on items viewed as disposable.
On the other hand, I take great precautions on fielder gloves, bats, etc... as I wish to avoid replacing them... not as much as about cost as it is about time (break in time)... or because they're no longer manufactured.

Extra socks - an old friend of mine told me 35 years ago to keep an extra pair of socks in my bat bag. Putting them on later in the day is like therapy to my feet. If we play 3 or more games I'll probably switch them out.

Wood,
That's good advice on the socks. I used to do that in rainy times of the year. But you really neer know about grass fields in the AM and after the rains re puddles.
Stay healthy Bob.

Agree with wood and taits, along with my 2nd pair of shoes I always carry extra pairs of socks.
I also find that the 2nd worse feeling after wet shoes is wet knee braces.
After playing a game and then having to sit a game or two before the next, the knee braces have to come off in that time and putting them back on can be like putting on a wet bathing suit. yuk.
So last tournament I just hung them by the elastic on the fence in the sun.
And no I don't have a backup set of these.

Just a suggestion. you may wish to look at soccer shoes. They're good turf shoes, generally made of vinyl, and generally water resistant. I had the wet sock problem for years at early morning BP and games. The soccer shoes solved the problem. However, they do not "breath" and your feet may still sweat, so....
