Do you own rain boots?

kaesha · September 2011

We're about to get another round of rain this week, and I'm seriously contemplating buying some rain boots.

I'm tired of having wet feet after walking home.

Anyway, I own a pair of awesome, oiled leather motorcycle boots that I bought from jcrew last year, and they're really repellent, but I don't want to destroy them, you know?

I really like the look of Hunter's coloured boots... but the price tag... not so much. Are they worthwhile? Is there another brand worth investigating?

I'm no help, this reminds me I need to start looking for a pair of snow boots though

I own a super cute pair of rain boots, and to be honest, I wish I had worn them to work today. I have no idea what brand they are though. I found them in a shop near my house for $15. Unless you are planning on using the rain boots as snow boots (which I don't do), I would find a pair that is cute and cheap. While the Hunters are probably super warm and comfy, mine cheapies do the trick just fine.

I got mine from Target for like $15, they work well, but I couldn't wear them in winter

Another owner of cheapo rain boots. The pair that I have (couldn't tell you the brand) gets the job done. They're not the most comfortable since I walk about three miles every day, though. What about Keen? I think their rain boots get good reviews.

I have a pair of Hunters. They definitely keep your feet dry but they're rather heavy and clunky (I always seem to wear the boots on days when it doesn't end up raining).

I also rock the Target cheap rain boots. They do the job, and there's some fleece inserts for when the weather gets cooler. I think those are another $12 or something.

No help here. I do have a pair of rubber boots from Lands End that I wear in the snow.

I have a pair of Hunters. They work well for me because I can wear them in the summer when it rains and add in the liner when it gets cooler outside. I wanted a heavy-duty pair of rain boots that I could wear in case it rained all morning while sitting outside for the farmer's market. I also have very small feet and was able to buy a children's size to save some money.

I have a pair of cheap rain boots that I love from target! They work great for me, but I live in Mississippi so we don't get much snow just rain.

ditto! I wear a size 7 in womens and go away with a child's size 4. I think if you are an 8 you may fit in the 5s. I like the kids bc the adults are too big in the calves for me, but I wish they were 2" taller.

Children's sizes?!? That's brilliant. I wear a size 7, so that might be totally feasible!

I wish we had Target here NOW (I know we're getting them next year) - it always seems like people are raving about the stuff there.
