Rain boots - which ones to choose for rainy weather? TOP 5

2022-09-22

You have probably had your shoes get wet at least once in your life. Even if you've managed to avoid catching a cold, you know perfectly well that it's an insanely uncomfortable situation. Shoes that catch moisture will wear out more quickly. A soaked lining can also be a source of odour. How do you choose rain boots to feel comfortable and look stylish even on cloudy days? Here are our suggestions for rainy weather.

The perfect rain boots - what they should be?

Do you only associate rain boots with wellingtons? Wrong! Although fashion designers and influencers have come to love this type of footwear for its waterproofness and nonchalance, it's hard to imagine that wellingtons are the only rain boots in your wardrobe. Especially since, under our latitude, cloudy days are in abundance throughout the year - not only in early spring and autumn, but also in summer and even in winter (when everyone is eagerly awaiting snow). Rainy weather doesn't mean you have to give up your favourite styles of footwear.

Before you add the perfect boots or half-boots to your basket, pay attention to aspects such as:

  • the type of materials they are made of

Avoid models made of textile materials. Lightweight fabric shoes will work well during dry and sunny days. In the rain, they will wear out quickly and will not look good.

Opt for footwear made from natural or organic leather. When choosing natural leather shoes, remember to waterproof the outer material beforehand to prevent getting wet and prolong the life of your favourite boots.

A good choice for the rain would be shoes made of eco-leather. This is a material that is resistant to moisture and requires a minimum of care. Modern shoes made of plastic are almost deceptively similar to natural leather. As a result, they will also work well with elegant pieces of clothing.

Take a look inside the shoe! A good choice for rainy weather would be shoes with a leather insole, which will provide your feet with great comfort and minimise the risk of odour. As an option, you can choose shoes with a fabric insole and, if necessary, buy a natural leather insole, which will not only make the shoe more comfortable to wear, but also allow for a better fit to the foot.

  • sole thickness

Good rain boots should have a thick sole, preferably with grooves, to minimise the risk of accidentally slipping on soggy ground. An outsole made of high-quality plastic is not only impervious to moisture, but is also resistant to mechanical damage.

  • upper length

Want to avoid getting your trousers or socks wet when a passing car drives briskly into a puddle? Make sure your wardrobe doesn't lack rain boots with a high upper that covers the ankle. Among the autumn assortment of online shops, you will find both boots with an upper up to mid-calf and models with an upper reaching to mid-thigh.

  • insulation

When it rains, the temperature drops. It is worth bearing this in mind and, especially in autumn and winter, opt for a model with insulation inside the shoe. Artificial fur will improve the thermal comfort. It is also pleasant to the touch.

Women's rain boots - which ones to choose?

Which shoes for the rain? Waterproof! Excessive moisture is one of the greatest enemies of footwear. Therefore, water resistance is one of the main features to look out for when choosing.

Note: In order for shoes to last as long as possible, they must be used as intended. Leather boots (pre-impregnated) or boots made of eco-leather can withstand a walk in the rain, but they were not made for wading in puddles. Therefore, be sure to avoid excessive contact with moisture. In this way, your favourite sneakers or boots will serve you for many seasons.

The choice of rain shoes should depend on the season and the aura outside. It is natural that autumn women's shoes will be slightly taller and bulkier than summer rain boots. When choosing footwear for the colder months, consider insulated models. In summer, we can opt for low ankle-exposing shoes without extra padding.

Some of the most popular rain boots include boots. It's a cut that's perfect for the transitional period, i.e. spring and autumn, although in fact boots can be called a year-round cut. You can successfully wear them also on cloudy summer evenings and during snowless winters. Boots differ in the shape of the nose, the length of the upper, the way of fastening and the thickness of the sole. In the Filippo shop, you will find both office-style models, which will fit into the formal dress code, and casual-style boots - ideal for everyday activities of various character.

You can wear the slim-fit boots with slim-leg trousers or tights, as they accentuate the calves wonderfully. The thick sole with fashionable grooves protects against moisture and the flexible upper fits well when walking. The striking zip at the front not only serves a practical function, but also a decorative one. These are the perfect autumn rain boots.

How do you choose men's rain boots?

For rainy weather, ditch the fabric trainers or trainers. Opt for natural or organic leather footwear. Men's autumn boots are mainly half-shoes, boots, slippers and trekking shoes.

Clouds on the horizon are no excuse! You don't have to give up your favourite outdoor activities if you make sure you have the right footwear for the rain, such as leather sneakers with a grip sole.

Rain boots - combine style with utility!

Good rain boots should not only be comfortable, but also stylish. Footwear designers care about both comfort and modern design. Black wellingtons and yellow stormtroopers are not the only styling option for inclement weather. Even when the weather outside doesn't look great, you don't have to give up your favourite wardrobe pieces, including elegant ones. By choosing fashionable rain boots, you can create unique looks - for work, shopping and meeting friends.
