Five Rain Boots You Need This Winter
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s cold. It seems that the transition from summer to winter has creeped up faster than we had anticipated and it’s time to get our priorities straight when it comes to footwear for fall and winter. Long gone are the days of unattractive rain boots. These days rain boots are actually quite chic as well as functional of course. We believe you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for fashion and that you really can have it both ways.
A good pair of rain boots should protect your feet, legs and ankles from not only rain, but sleet, mud and snow. You should be comfortable, warm and of course, cute. Your rain boots should also have good grip on the soles to protect you from an embarrassing collision of face and floor. Check out these five pairs of rain boots you should be shopping this winter to meet all of your fashion and functional needs.
These boots are as cute as their name. These waterproof ankle booties are lined with moisture absorbent plush lining that keep your feet cozy and warm while you're stomping through the rain. They are 100% waterproof and the chic ankle boot height is great for all year wear.
This wouldn’t be a proper rain boot roundup if we didn’t include the infamous Hunter boot. Hunter is notorious for having the best quality rubber rain boots with vulcanized natural rubber. These boots come in a wide variety of colors and can be worn in the city, the country or the snow in both casual and chic ways. The decorative buckle adds a nice stylish touch that can be worn in many different ways.
If utilitarian and purely functional boots are what you’re looking for, then look no further than these Dunlop Chesapeake Boots. These are lightweight, energy absorbing boots and are 100% waterproof which means they actually repel water away from the boot. We actually like these utilitarian style boots in a Balenciaga meets Rick Owens kind of way. What do you think?
Dksuko Winter Duck Boots
The English basically invented the rain boot...didn’t they? Well this boot certainly reminds us of something the Queen herself would wear or at least her character in The Crown did. These plaid, waterproof ankle boots are perfect for channeling your inner English aristocrat as you stroll through a park, city or countryside taking in the air during a romantic light rain shower. We’re styling these with our favorite trench and pair of denim.
One of our favorite brands has their own rain boot! Yes, we love these white and black Coach monogrammed rain boots. We had to save the best for last and these knitted sock and rubber rain boot combination boots are just what we want to be wearing all winter and maybe even after.
