Choosing shoes for rainy weather
If you have a lot of things planned, and it’s raining outside, this is an unpleasant surprise. In this weather, you just want to wrap yourself in a blanket and drink cocoa. Unfortunately, not everyone has this luxury. It is for this reason that you need to provide yourself with a comfortable wardrobe for rainy weather, paying special attention to shoes. Not every shoe can withstand temperature changes from +18 to -7°C, which is so often observed in the off-season.
In this case, you need demi-season shoes, which are specially adapted for the autumn-spring period, when the maximum amount of precipitation is observed. Fortunately, manufacturers have made sure that you can buy shoes for rainy weather not only for comfort, but also to create a stylish look. Let us consider with you how to choose the right shoes for rainy weather and the main types of shoes for the off-season.
Criteria for choosing shoes for rainy weather
- Material. In order for shoes to cope with high levels of humidity without problems, it is necessary to give preference to natural materials: suede, leather, nubuck. Rubber shoes are also suitable, which will definitely not let your feet get wet, but will be cold enough.
- Connection points. Inspect all joints and seams as carefully as possible for their symmetry and evenness on both boots. There should be no loose threads - this demonstrates the quality of the shoes and whether they will get wet.
- Quality. Carefully inspect the tightness of the shoes, the functionality of the fastener, the strength of the heel fastening and inspect the item of purchase to ensure that the right and left shoes are identical.
- Sole. Choose only ridged soles, which reduce the likelihood of slipping and falling on wet asphalt or other surfaces.
- Lining. To ensure that your feet not only do not get wet, but also stay in an optimal microclimate, it is recommended to buy shoes lined with flannel, wool or artificial materials.
These are the main criteria that need to be taken into account if you decide to buy shoes for rainy weather. When choosing shoes for a child, you can take into account the same criteria as for an adult. An exception is the situation if your child needs orthopedic demi-season shoes, which will contribute to the correct formation of the foot. You should also not forget about the appearance of the shoes, despite the fact that you will wear them in cold and damp weather.
Shoe models for rain shoes
Rubber boots
Literally over the last 5 years, rubber boots have moved from the children's footwear section. Currently, such shoes are worn by world-famous stars: Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker and many others. Of course, for rainy weather there is nothing better than rubber shoes, but they are only suitable at temperatures of 8-10 degrees, otherwise your feet will be too cold and uncomfortable. Today, rubber boots are presented in various options, among which you are guaranteed to be able to choose the optimal solution.
Moreover, previously boots were considered rough shoes that only the “collective farm” wore, but today they are even offered with heels. Just when giving preference to such shoes, remember that they are intended exclusively for short-term wear - they do not allow not only water, but also air to pass through, so you can harm your feet. It is optimal to wear such shoes only when it rains, and change your shoes as soon as possible. This allows you to always stay dry and stylish.
The important thing is that such shoes are suitable not only for autumn and spring, but also for summer - boots of various colors will definitely be able to lift your spirits in cloudy weather. If you are not afraid to look playful, you can safely choose such shoes. The iconic “hunters” will look great and go well with jeans and dresses.
Leather shoes with rubber soles
If it's slushy outside, you can also wear leather shoes. But given that the skin does not like moisture, it needs to be chosen and cared for correctly. For example, if the weather is rainy outside, then you need to buy the same shoes with soles that are made of durable rubber. Make sure that the sole is textured - this will minimize the chance of falling. Technology doesn't stand still, so you can also find boots with materials that repel moisture. Or you can buy a special water-repellent spray for leather shoes.
And, of course, don’t forget about boots for any weather - Cat (Caterpillar), which will be a great solution for cold rainy weather, keeping your feet warm. The only condition is that they need to be provided with maximum protection from moisture and proper care. Under no circumstances should you dry them on heat sources, because... they will lose their attractiveness and versatility. Paired with jeans, these boots are simply timeless classics. They look quite original with dresses and skirts.
As you can see, there is not a particularly wide range of shoes for rainy weather, but with such models you can diversify your look. If you decide to buy shoes for rainy weather, you need to pay attention to how thick the sole and leather are, the side of the sole, the method of attaching the sole and upper part. You can also buy sneakers for rainy weather, but they must be made in the same way only from high-quality leather, otherwise they will get wet.
