Rubber rain boots used to be for one thing, and one thing only- walking in the rain. This rather ugly, but necessary, piece of your wardrobe has been given a makeover by shoe designers everywhere. Over the last several years, more and more designers have added rubber rain boots to their collections that women everywhere don’t mind pulling out of their closets.
Still functional and serving a purpose, the new generation of women’s rubber rain boots are trendy, fashionable, and just plain cute. The same old construction is enhanced with bright colors, bold patterns and updated shapes. If nothing else, it’s twice as much fun to splash around in puddles wearing a new pair of rain boots.
Here are a couple places where you can shop for really neat and unique women’s rubber rain boots online.
Steve Madden
Even better than finding a super stylish pair of rain boots, is designing your own pair of rain boots that you are guaranteed to love. The Steve Madden Design Your Own collection includes three styles of boots that you can customize. Each boot is divided into two to four faces and a trim that are customizable by selecting the color and type of material you want used. Colors range from bold to tame, with a couple patterns for you to select. Three types of material are available- suede, nappa and metallic.
Chooka
Chooka started out as a line of fashion sheepskin boots, but has expanded to creating fashion friendly rain boots. At Chooka rain boots are a fashion statement, made to appeal to women the drab rain boot has been given a totally make over. From Chooka you can expect to see anything from cute and playful designs, to edgy or glam, and even sleek and modern. No matter what style you choose though, you still have a rain boot that you can count on to do the job. They just make you look good while they do it.
Crocs
Shortly after Crocs hit the market their popularity spread like wildfire. In addition to the traditional crocs, there is now the Georgie, a croc rain boot made from the same materials to keep your feet protected from the elements. Even though they only come in three colors there are two things I prefer about the Georgie rain boots. First, they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, they are super light and not at all clunky, I really could live in them. Second, they have more traction than any other pair of rain boot I have tried on to date.
