After moving from a home to an apartment, I forgot how much I would be going in and out letting my 2 boys Snickers and Rufus out. I also didn't realize that Memphis gets a lot of popcorn showers...and of course the area that the dogs love is always flooded. I basically ruined my UGG slippers from stepping in a huge puddle. Ugh. That's why I have been on the search for some Wellies and let me tell you that there are some great pairs out there.
Now when it comes to a purchase like this, I have to go with function over fashion. Fortunately, there are some brands that offer both. I've tried the cutesy ones, and let me tell you - they don't keep all the water out! Gross! Nothing worse than trapped, damp feet.
I have eyeing the Hunter Classic rain boots for quite some time now. When I lived in Indianapolis, snow boots were a need over rain boots, so I could never justify the purpose. However...with all of this moisture down south it is getting harder to resist.
Hunter Classic Tall High Gloss, $125
Now these babies are not cheap - so you better get a lot of use out of them if you decide to purchase. The boots run $125 and have extras like socks for the colder weather months which range from $30-50. Like I said, it better be a need!
A few friends have pointed me in the direction of Tretorn. For about half the price, you get a great boot that is already lined - no needed for the boot socks. My cousin's favorite attribute of these boots is the optional style with the "converse all star" white sole - allowing you to wear them all day.
Tretorn Skerry Rubber Rain Boot, $60
Not a fan of the white "tennis shoe" bottom? No problem! Here's something a little more traditional - also from Tretorn.
Tretorn Kelly Rubber Rain Boot, $65
Still need something with a little extra something. Well, Kamik offers rain boots in patterns and bright colors as well - for those of you who need a little girly in your rain boot.
Kamik Janis Plum, $48
Now you'll actually forward to the rain when you step out in any of these great boots! Who wants to jump in puddles?
XOXO, Allison
Posted this one on facebook! We need the rainboots at Purdue; our campus is terrible at draining water. Often the puddles will stretch across the roads.
