Truly, these boots are made for walkin’, jumping into puddles, leaping into subways, and all the above. As you await the arrival of your new fave pair, get yourself a rain hat, umbrella, and scour through this list of date ideas. Yup, those dreary days are looking so much brighter.

You may not find this pair at the end of a rainbow, but the good news is that you’ll get a taste with all the pretty colorways available (srsly, the yellow and pink ones are so cute). These’ll feel light on your feet (even with the chunkiest socks on!), you’ll love the flexibility of the material, and your pockets will be v happy with the low price point.
Rave Review: “They look so vibrant! The material is soft and flexible so I like it. They’re even cool for summer! I have other boots that I use for winter since they’re insulated but these are cool and allow air circulation. The design is slim, so you’d better order a bigger size if you want something wide. I have slim feet, so these fit me really good.”
You may just call these the best boots ever. I mean, all the reviewers are. They’re easy to slip on and off and are great in all weather and all terrain. Just hose ’em off to keep ’em looking brand new.
Rave Review: “These are super comfortable—I am a size 11 and usually I struggle with room for socks. This is true to size—I wore it the first day for 5 miles. There’s no breaking in period; my feet stayed nice and dry and it rained nonstop! Absolutely love this boot!!! They’re also fashionable; it’ll look like you have on tennis shoes!”
What’s a shopping list about rain boots without mentioning the tried-and-true Hunter brand? Besides the chic color, reviewers rave about how these are roomy, durable, and so easy to clean.
Rave Review: “Durable through the years! I wear them daily
on farm walks. I bought two pairs in this green color. The boots fit me and my daughter perfectly. They are waterproof and not heavy. I keep them clean with Murphy oil soap. Will always buy Hunter!”
Go for a fun pop of color with a chelsea boot that features a heavy-duty track sole with hella grip.
Rave Review: “These go with everything and I’m considering more colors! They needs a little breaking in for the sides/elastic, but they have a very comfortable sole, and I feel like I could stomp any puddle without fear.”
Stylish, ridiculously cushy, and functional—that’s a combo we love, don’t we? These statement-making picks are ideal for walking long periods of time and for racking up on a boatload of compliments
Rave Review: “I bought these for an outdoor festival in an area subject to rain. These boots are incredibly comfortable and cushy. I have feet on the wider side, but the narrowness of the boot did not make my foot feel cramped in the least. I was able to wear them multiple days in a row. I recommend wearing them with higher socks so the opening doesn’t rub against your leg. I got tons of comments as well!”
Who says you have to chuck your cowboy boots aside in inclement weather? Not me! Also, I’m def giggling at how this style is called Jolene. Anyone hearing Beyonce rn?
Rave Review: “I got ivory. They look stylish and definitely not your typical rain boots. These have a nice amount of heel make me look chic. The rubber material is not too stiff, so they are so comfortable for walking. I tried so many different boots and this was the pair! Highly recommended!”
The best rain boots call for style, coziness, and insulation—wouldn’t you agree? This pair by Ilse Jacobsen ticks off every box and are total lifesaver if you have wide calves. Choose between army green, ivory, and black…or just get ’em all, especially since they look good with everything and in all types of weather.
Rave Review: “I have large 19 inch calves and have been searching for winter boots that look good and actually FIT for a long time. These work wonderfully!!! The boot expands to 21 inches and fit with my boot cut jeans on! I can lace them almost to the top, so I think I’ll have to get longer laces, but the fleece lining is warm and the shoe size is true. I wear EU size 40 (US 10) in other brands and these are spot on! They don’t bunch anywhere and are very comfy. Love them!”
Level up with a super tall boot that’s sleek, flexible, and fashionable. Don’t get it twisted, however, this waterproof style is has major arch support.
Rave Review: “Super comfy and durable! They survived a festival weekend in acres of mud and rain so I’m super pleased! These are warm and comfortable even in the deepest puddles. No sign of any leakage!”
