Rain boots are must for any fall season, in almost any state of the USA. It gets chillier and we get rain, lots of rain.
The Story behind Rain Boots
Modern rain boots are derived from a boot popularized by the Duke of Wellington in the early 1800s. Her conceived of a low healed mid-calf leather boot fabricated in soft calfskin leather with very little trim or ornamentation and cut to fit more closely around the leg. The rain boot or “Wellingtons” were soon manufactured in rubber in the 1850s for use by French Farmers who wished to ditch their traditional wooden clogs and return home at night with dry feet!
WW1 and WW2 further popularized the boot for keeping feet dry in the trenches. In the 1955, Hunter boots first introduced green Wellington boots which became associated with “country-life” and barn cleaning. Lady Diana Spenser submitted the Hunter boot and Wellington as a classic when she wore them during a much photographed country outing during her courtship with Prince Charles.
My daughter rocking the classic Green Hunter boot Wellingtons (similar on Shopbop), I am wearing a special edition Rag & Bone collaboration with Hunter boot (no longer available, similar on Amazon). My daughter’s friend is rocking a edgy lace up rain boot style (similar on Amazon)
Why pay so much for Hunter Boots? Why High End Rain boots?
The answer to this question is the material in high end rain boots and Hunter Boots is superior. It’s not obvious until you wear a pair of Hunter boots in the rain and contrast them to a low end rain boot. Hunters and other high end boots bend and move. Low end rain boots are often like wearing splints on both legs.

I still haven’t bought any rain boots. I like the floral ones.
These rain boots will be great in the Spring too. I like the patterns on a lot of them.
I love those Rag and Bone Moto Rain Boots. I am wondering if I can justify them on the basis of needing them for dog walks, what do you say?
Oh my I just love the ones with fun prints!! I feel like I need them all and need to have outfits specifically for each one lol!!
I have a pair of red Hunter rain boots and love them!
I like those ones that look like motorcycle boots, and the ones with flowers on them because I have no consistent style at all!
Who knew Rain Boots could be so darn cute!
I could use rain boots, since I walk most places, when it rains, my tooties and pants get soaked up to my calves. Not fun. I’ve never used Shopbop, checking it out now!
We had snow yesterday that broke a lot of branches. These boots wouldn’t have helped.
I have a decent pair at the moment. My favorites lasted for years but finally cracked and leaked.
These boots have such great stitching and appeal. I thank you so much for the review.
Looking good loving the boots
I have never owned a pair of rain boots especially ones as cute as these..My yard gets so muddy I should get some though.
I could use a pair for going to work. I park 4 blocks away from my office building. So, it’s always fun trying to stay dry on rainy days.
I love the floral design boots, so pretty. Yet this will need to be a purchase that I save a bit for.
I could use a pair for working outdoors in the yard. Thanks for the history lesson.
I love a cute pair of rain boots!
I like the boot with flowers. Would be fun in the garden.
Finally some really cute rain gear. Rain boots can be especially ugly. These are cute. And I love some of those rain coats.
I want to pair of these boots so bad but my calf are so big I can’t get them on! ????
Hey Jodie, Some of the huter boots expand (like you unbuckle the buckle and there is extra material) http://amzn.to/2x7P9bL See how these are adjustable? And if those then look at this search for wide calf rain boots: http://amzn.to/2xQsuEM
