At our office, we make custom orthotics frequently for many conditions. If you have or have been told you need custom orthotics, these can often be placed in the rainboots. This helps provide support that the boot lacks. In addition, they keep your foot from sliding within the boot. The Fit: Be mindful of the style of rainboots you choose and which brand. The closest fit for the best support will come from rainboots that are above the ankle, but not up towards the knee.
Being able to slide boots on easily can come from plenty of room in the calf like in most typical Hunter boots , but it can also come from the addition of a section of elastic along one or two sides of the ankle portion of the boot. Sperry also has styles that allow for better support. Everlane, Native and Sam Edelman are some other brands to try.
Waterproof: Again, cheaper boots may have adhesives holding them together that can dry up and cause water to have an easy access in. Well constructed rain boots often cost more, but for good reason.
Be sure the invest well and do your research when buying rainboots. Traction: Traction is better in the more pricey boots, generally speaking. Home » 5 Reasons why rain boots are just the best for kids and adults! Leave the mud outside. The classic rain boot design is completely waterproof and protects your pant leg. That means, when they come off, the mud stays on the boot and not on your pants and socks.
Not to mention they are ridiculously easy to clean. All you need is a hose or a damp hand towel. We were born and raised in Seattle, rain and mud and puddle jumping is part of our genetic make-up.

It sounds like a tiny difference, but it works—in our tests we had several boots pull right off our feet while wading through mud, but not so with the Bogs.
The neoprene also makes this design a better fall work boot than our other picks: Neoprene is an insulating material, and the shaft and lining of this boot are a substantial 7 mm thick for comparison, an average wetsuit is about 4 mm thick.
This boot fits closer to the foot than our other picks, which are wider around the foot to accommodate thick socks as well as to prevent rubbing. The Muck Boot Chore boot is designed in almost identical fashion but is missing those handles.
The difference in mud traction is minimal, and this version is still better for mud than our other picks, so if you really want a men's Bogs boot with handles the Classic Ultra High will still work. You can find a lot of love for Bogs on the internet. I can attest to their long-term comfort and impressive durability. Flaws but not dealbreakers: One of the biggest conversations in the world of outdoor-gear design concerns the sustainability of neoprene.
But the other materials that boots are made of have their own environmental issues. PVC is recyclable, but it can release dioxins during manufacturing or disposal and is often made with phthalates, a group of potentially harmful chemicals that humans ingest by consuming food contained in household plastics or inhale by breathing in emissions from landfills.
Rubber can be sourced in a destructive way. Finally, EVA is recyclable, but suitable collection facilities and infrastructure are rare. If sustainability concerns you, the best advice we have to offer—after years of collective research on materials sustainability—is to wear your boots.
We take durability seriously when testing, exactly for this reason. Made of a single piece of waterproof EVA foam, these affordable boots are easy to put on and have good traction.
Who this is for: People who despise clunky footwear or who easily get fatigued in the ankles or knees from heavier shoes. Both are made of EVA foam, the same thing found in the soles of athletic shoes.
We weighed all 31 pairs of boots we tested, and the next-lightest shoe in the hierarchy was our top pick, the Xtratuf Ankle Deck Boot. Both are user-friendly options for taking multiple trips out the door. The light weight is the main advantage of this type of footwear, but the trade-off is in durability. These foam boots also feel less substantial than rubber or PVC boots.
Senior editor Grant Clauser also cautions about sizing with the Crocs AllCast after using them for a while. Forget thick socks. If price is a major concern for you, the least expensive women's rain boots that feel like they have some substance are the Kamik Heidi.
For men, the Kamik Ranger is a good option. A duck boot laces tighter to your foot than a rubber boot and performs in both wet and muddy conditions. Who this is for: People who are less concerned about slipping a shoe on and off quickly and more concerned about having a shoe that can take more intense abuse in a variety of wet and muddy conditions. They feature the rubber soles and lower half of a rain boot along with a leather upper that laces tight as on a traditional boot.
Our favorite duck boot is the 8-inch unlined Bean Boot for men and women. If you want a shoe styled like a duck boot, you can find dozens of options. This shoe handles three things well: walking, dealing with mud, and tolerating wet weather.
Our other picks can handle all that stuff in varying degrees but typically have a single condition they perform best in. This shoe was designed to handle all three of those problems equally and simultaneously. The laced leather around the calf is responsible for a lot of that functionality. The leather lets your ankle move freely for walking and driving , while the laces hug it close to your leg so you can pull your foot out of sucking mud without leaving your boot behind.
The bottom of the boot is cross-functional, too. It has a thicker heel than on most other boot types, so it will take longer to wear through, and the shallow, rounded tread is built for releasing debris; you can easily rinse it off, as well.
And in the base of the shoe, these boots have a steel shank, a piece of metal that runs from the ball to the heel of the sole. This is a feature sometimes found in work boots, and it protects the foot from below and keeps the shoe from wearing out quickly. The rubberized base of the boot shaft gives extra inches of waterproofing for walking through deep, curbside puddles, and the leather tongue is gusseted—attached on the inside of the boot on both sides—so the shoe remains waterproof for the entire height of the boot.
Something about how the separate rubber and leather pieces are sewn together often creates funny leather protrusions around the eyelets and causes the tongue to bunch up. Every other duck boot we looked at failed to master the flat lacing. Flaws but not dealbreakers: The original Bean Boot is unlined, and we like that, since it keeps the shoe true to its nature as a multiseasonal, versatile piece of outdoor kit.
You can decide what kind of weather you want to use it in and choose the thickness of your socks accordingly.
