The Best Rain Boots Brands

The trick to staying warm in rainy weather is to protect your feet... and to look cute doing it. It's never just about practicality, staying dry is all about style too. That's why we've put together this list of the best rain boots brands! 

The original Wellington Boot was popularized by Arthur Wellesley, the 1st Duke of Wellington, in the early 19th century. Hence the nickname, "Wellies." Hunter rain boots have been around since 1856. Since then, numerous other designers like Balenciaga, Michael Kors, and of course, Burberry, have created their own take on the rain boot.

From Kate Middleton (in her Hunter Wellies) to Paddington Bear in his bright yellow rain shoes, rain boots (sometimes spelled "rainboots") come in all shapes and colors. You can go for a traditional black, or try on a pair of pink-patterned boots. Knee-height options are available, as are ankle height. You'll just want to make sure you match your boot to the amount of water you'll be sloshing through. No one likes puddle-soaked feet.
