Listening to the rain come through an open window in the house can be a very relaxing experience. It’s the perfect time to cozy up to a good book and a warm cup of tea. But walking in that same rain is a very different experience. Heaven forbid I leave the house on a rainy day in flip-flops. I’m so used to slipping and sliding in even my nicest pair of flip-flops when it rains that I don’t even bother trying to keep them on my feet. I just take them off and look like an idiot walking barefoot in the middle of the city.

That was until I discovered rain boots. These Comfortview April Rain Boots from Woman Within are a great way to make sure your feet stay underneath you in the rain. They feature an adjustable calf buckle, making them a nice choice for women of all calf-widths, and the rubber thread sole provides the perfect amount of traction on light and heavy rain days. Because they’re designed specifically for bad weather, I keep a pair of rain boots in my car at all times. I have two concerns with these boots. First, they are a bit pricey for my taste, coming in at between 50 and 55 dollars depending on the size. Second, they are not available in more color options and could potentially clash with your outfit of the day. If you’re looking for comparable shoe technology available in more colors, try visiting Target for more variety at the lone cost of 24.99.
