The Igi&Co 21290 in taupe are men's trainers built for anyone who wants one pair of shoes that works in the city and on the trail. They pair a modern sporty silhouette with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, visible on the technical patch on the side panel.

The Igi&Co 21290 sit at the crossroads between an everyday trainer and a hiking shoe. Igi&Co, an Italian footwear brand with more than seventy years in the trade, built this pair around a genuine question: why choose between the comfort of a sneaker and the protection of a hiking boot? The answer is a low-profile trainer with a deep lug outsole and a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, so it can handle a wet commute on Monday and an easy trail on Saturday without changing shoes.
At a glance
Design and materials
The upper is nubuck leather in a light taupe tone, stitched together with reinforced toe and heel caps. Inside, the Gore-Tex membrane blocks liquid water while still letting sweat vapour escape, so feet stay dry without the overheating typical of cheap waterproof shoes. The cushioned midsole absorbs impact on hard pavement, and the deep-lug rubber outsole grips wet, muddy or uneven ground.
Sizing
Sizes run from EU 41 to EU 44 (treat this as an approximate guide and check Igi&Co's own size chart for borderline cases). If you are between two sizes, go up half a size: the Gore-Tex lining takes up a little more room than a plain textile lining.
Frequently asked questions
Do these run small? They tend to fit slightly snug because of the Gore-Tex lining, so size up if you are between two sizes.
Are they comfortable all day? Yes, the cushioned midsole and grippy outsole make them suitable for long days on your feet.
Can I use them for hiking? They work well for light trails and day walks; they are not built for technical mountaineering.
How do I clean them? Being nubuck, brush dry with a dedicated suede/nubuck brush to lift the nap, and avoid soaking the outside directly even though the inside is waterproof. Let them air dry away from direct heat.
What size should I order if I have wide feet? Try them on or ask us first, since the internal membrane makes the fit closer than a shoe with a plain textile lining.
