What to Look for in Rain Boots
How We Chose the Best Rain Boots
We focused on all of the above when selecting the best rain boots, paying particular attention to the durability and weatherproofing of each. We picked options that came in several colors and heights to suit a variety of styles and uses. Because rubber can be stiff, we noted how roomy each was and mentioned whether reviews claim you need to size up—so you won't have to make any returns. Depending on where you live, weather can be both cold and rainy, so we included warmer options as well.

Everywhere I went, people were stopping me in the streets, on the trails, on the beach, in line for food trucks…always asking about them," writes one glowing review.
13. Petrass Women Rain Boots
Lightweight rain boots are great when you're going to be wearing them for a while, but what makes this pair particularly great is their wide calf area, which allows you to slip them on and off with ease. Their low heel allows for a steady, supported stride while their mid-calf design prevents your feet from getting wet, even when you step in deep puddles. But that's not all.
