The 17 Best Rain Boots to Keep Your Feet Dry (and Your Outfit On-Point)

If you’re combing the internet for a good ol’ pair of classic rubber rain boots, go for a subtle, black, Chelsea style. This Amazon pick is easy and affordable. 

If you’re a very strict sneaker wearer, waterproof high-top Chuck Taylors are your best rainy-day bet. 

Kenneth Cole makes a solid, reliable option for when it’s really coming down. Plus, a little party on the inside. 

This winterized option from Converse is lined with polar fleece and protected by Gore-Tex, so you can get away with avoiding boots no matter how cold or wet it is outside. 

Whether you work outdoors with heavy objects or you are prone to dropping your laptop on your toes (in the rain? Who are we to judge?), CAT’s steel toe rubber work boot is the way to go for heavy-duty rain wear.  

These waterproof Oxfords from Blondo won’t keep your ankles dry, but for a wet workday, these are a great option for the office. 

Suede chukkas? For a rainy day? Well, actually…yeah. These waterproof ones from Nordstrom’s in-house men’s shop don’t look like rain boots, but then again, that’s the whole point.

You can’t beat a classic. And when it comes to rain boots, it doesn’t get more classic than Hunter.

Blondo is a Canadian brand that knows how to make serious weatherproof footwear attractive. 

Hunter is the king of rain boots (or more accurately, the Queen: the brand holds two Royal Warrants of Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh). If classic wellies aren’t your thing, maybe a low-key Chelsea is. Puddle jump like royalty. 

These chukka boots from Ugg are cozy and comfy (and waterproof!). Perfect for a casual run to the store for rainy-day movie snacks. 

Blundstones aren’t technically waterproof, but ask anyone who’s worn a pair on a rainy day (or stepped ankle-deep into a puddle with them on) and they’ll tell you: These are great rain boots. Your feet will stay dry in all but the most ridiculously wet conditions.

Ugg’s combat boots are wool-lined, so your feet will stay nice and warm. (And, of course, dry.)

For all-weather hiking, go for Hoka One One’s waterproof, extremely comfy outdoor boot.

Cole Haan is downright masterful when it comes to rain boots that don’t look a thing like rain boots. Wear these whenever you want, and rest assured that you’ll always be prepared for an unexpected downpour.

The best type of rain boot is one that looks nothing like a rain boot (but still functions like one, thanks to waterproof Roadmaster leather). 

Aquatalia’s whole thing is high-end, water-resistant footwear. And these Renzo boots fit the bill perfectly. They look great, and they’ll keep your toes comfortable and dry.
