Rain Boots
You wake up and look outside your window only to be met with overcast gray skies. You know your commute will leave the bottom of your pants soaked and your shoes ruined. However, with the rising popularity of rain boots (also known as Wellies  ), rainy days can give you an excellent opportunity to show of your sense of style while staying dry.
Rain boots were first popularized in the 19th century by the Duke of Wellington. They were originally made of leather and worn primarily by men. Due to their practicality and style, rain boots have made a come back and today are considered fashionable.
Most rain boots are made of rubber or a synthetic equivalent. When buying rain boots, make sure you are buying shoes that are specifically manufactured to endure rainy conditions and are waterproof. Many of them share a similar design. However, where they vary is in the color pattern. Rain boots come in a wide array colors. They can be in a muted color or be more bold in a brighter pattern (if you choose a crazier design, be prepared to accept the attention that goes along with it!)
Styles
The two main variations of rain boots are the ankle length, and the calf length. The calf length provides better coverage from the elements while the ankle length can be more comfortable and more easily accessible.
Keep in mind:- Although the rain boot may be your correct shoe size, it may be rather tight in the leg. To avoid this try to purchase a boot that is adjustable in the calf area.
- The shape of the rain boat can be unflattering to the natural shape of ones foot. If this is something that will bother you, try to buy a boot that is more contoured in the foot area. A rain boot with a Wedge Heel can also provide a nicer shape.
- Rain boots are suited for harsh outdoor conditions but, that's where they should stay -- outside. One should bring another pair of shoes to change into after arrival. You might look foolish tracking mud all over the office floor!
