Our only qualm with these boots is that we wish they had a slightly more incised outsole — the cable pattern does a decent job but isn't as grippy as some of the more serious workboots like the Bogs Workman. However, if you need a boot that looks and performs great, we highly recommend this one from LL Bean. I’d describe these as Chelsea boots reimagined for the elements. The traditional leather is replaced with rubber, the elastic portion swapped for neoprene and the lug sole is extra-chunky. The result is kind of “under-cover sporty,” a perfect balance of fashion and function, that looks just as good with a puffer and leggings as it does with jeans and a camel coat. The review Close your eyes and imagine yourself wearing a rain boot. You're probably picturing something similar to the Baffin Enduro. With a height of 16.25 inches, the Enduro's rubber shaft and solidly lugged outsole will keep you warm and dry in even the wettest and worst conditions. Because of their large circumference, you can easily slip into and out of these boots, and their price-to-performance ratio is unbeatable. We love the Arctic Sport for their heavy insulation, extra-tall shaft, and secure-feeling weight, but they're also quite uncomfortable when you're just strolling around town on a warm fall day. Our feet began to sweat immediately when we wore them in temperatures above 40 degrees. While the tighter shaft keeps the warm air in, you'll have to reach down to put them on and take them off. For a more comfortable boot that's easy to pull on and off, take a look at the Bogs Classic Ultra High. The Arctic Sport boots are for you if you are out in truly inclement weather. If you are not, consider a more casual boot. Arch: We don't want to get annoyingly complicated, but you actually have three arches (medial, lateral, and transverse). However, when people talk about arches, they're generally talking about their medial arch. You can have "higher" or "lower" arches, but this doesn't matter too much when it comes to your rain boots, and we don't want to get too far into this. If you experience significant arch pain or struggle with plantar fasciitis, please go see a doctor, research foot strengthening exercises, and/or think about supplemental insoles (with the help of a footwear expert).

We don't want you to feel that this style assessment provides any definitive takeaways, so please wear whatever strikes your fancy! Sizing + Fit For some reason, people tend to ignore foot pain and assume that it's somehow inevitable. Let's be clear: foot pain can be solved. It can be complicated, but it's worth taking the time. Help us change the trend! If you suffer from foot pain, take this category seriously. Rain boots (and shoes in general) aren't supposed to hurt you, and some of the models we tested are a genuine pleasure to wear. Consider supplemental insoles, and if you've got a lot of trouble with your feet, please see a doctor or physical therapist; both will help dramatically. Take it from us; happy feet will improve your life.

This style is on the shorter side, so they’re not ideal for when you haven’t shovelled the two feet of snow in front of your door, but they are water-resistant, so the snow just slides right off.

Original Little Kids (2-6 Years) Wellington BootsSize/Fit Summary: True to size, Regular fit. Sizing suitable for 2 to 6 years old (size 7-11).The warmest boot isn't always the best, as rain boots are generally bad at releasing heat since rubber does not breathe well, which is partly why it's so protective. If you want to wear the ever-toasty Arctic Sport at 60°F fall sports games, prepare for sweaty feet. Though if you wear those same boots in foot-deep snow at 15°F, you'll stay comfortable thanks to these boots' almost knee-high microfleece-lined neoprene. When I pulled these out of the box, I was really surprised at how light they were; they basically flew up into my hand with the lightest pull. My other snow boots are much, much heavier, and while I do feel like that gives you some stability on icy days, there’s something super appealing about being light on your feet. The cream colour was also so light and bright, the (vegan) shearling upper adds the nicest cozy feel, and there’s a really intricate cable-knit-effect rim around the top edge of the super-chunky sole. A lot of design detail went into these boots. The review If you want your rain boots to do double duty — to keep your feet dry in the wet and look good — the Blundstone Thermal Chelsea is a great choice. Its cozy sheep's wool insoles and Thinsulate lining will keep your feet warm despite chilly weather, and they perfectly balance between workboot (with their heavy-duty outsole and seam-sealed leather) and stylish boot (with their premium hand-crafted leather.)

These boots performed highly in every test we threw at them, and we're confident they'll keep you dry and happy

While we love many of the innovative aspects of these boots, we wish they could provide more support underfootThe Men’s Explorer Insulated Boots are some of Hunter’s most lightweight shoes, yet highly durable and tough when walking on rough terrain. They’re water-resistant and insulating to grant all-day comfort and dryness, and can even be worn at temperatures as low at 15°C. A mini version of the iconic Original Tall Boot, the Original Little Kids Wellington is a dream for tiny feet. This bright pink boot is handcrafted from natural rubber. Designed for adventures, our specialised kids wellies are highly resistant to wear and abrasion with a polyester lining for comfort. Reflective patches and the Hunter Original tread offer added safety so you can be confident letting them take on the elements whatever the weather. I really enjoy the look of these, but I do wonder how the shearling and suede details will end up looking after a full season of wear. They’re almost too precious to wear on the days when it gets really slushy and gross out, even though they are purposely designed for harsh weather conditions.
