Rain boots, or otherwise more preferably known as waterproof boots or wellingtons, are one of those weird types of shoes that are meant to keep one's feet dry and comfortable in rainy conditions. Usually made of rubber or any other synthetic substitute, these waterproof boots have a seamless construction that prevents water seepage within; hence, more appropriate for rainy days or muddy courts. Their tall design allows great coverage and protection of the leg from splashes and puddles. Non-slip soles give good grip on slick surfaces. Most rain boots come with ease in wearing, either with pull-on handles or with a flexible shaft, common enough to ensure an easy slip-on and slip-off action.
But besides all that, rain boots have also become some form of fashion, coming in every color, pattern, and style imaginable to suit each and every personal taste. From solid, classic colors to bright and fun prints, just about any type of rain boot is on hand to go with just about any outfit. Some brands are also sure to include in their manufacturing processes the use of eco-friendly materials and practices that appeal to environmentally-sensitive consumers. From gardening to a stroll in the park, to city sidewalks on a rainy afternoon, rain boots are one of those few items that can marry practicality with style as they try to keep wearers dry, or at least as dry as possible, without sacrificing aesthetics.
