I never had to have rain boots until I moved to Seattle. Now I want different styles and colors.

I have some from Aldo I love they're so cute. I wouldn't recommend them as they cracked in only a few months
If I lived in Seattle I'd totally get some wellies!

What is this rain that you speak of? None here in AZ! But I would love a pretty pair of rain boots!

Hehehe - My sister and I laugh about this all the time b/c we have plenty of rainboots for living in Orange County! I have 3 pairs of Hunters currently. I mention currently because I've actually worn out/broke 2 previous pairs of rainboots (one Hunter and one Tretorns). They are just so cute and keep your toes warm and dry!
You can find previous season colors if you look sometimes at Nordstrom Rack (if you like colorful ones).

I own them but only for working in the yard and going clam digging! I don't get the appeal of wearing them for "fashion". I also find them soooo uncomfortable. Maybe I need those thick socks I've seen sold with Hunters!

@sunny: hehe got the thick socks. hmm. i'm not sure where they are at the moment though. now i feel the need to look for them.

I only have 1 pair. They're nothing fancy but DH got them for me so we can go mushroom hunting. They're yellow and I love them, but they're uncomfy! When DD gets bigger, I'm looking forward to getting her a pair and maybe even matching her. We'll only really use it for mushroom hunting since they're too hot to use in the yard. I can't wait to take rain boot + mushroom basket pictures with her!

Yes, I grew up in AZ and had to buy them when I moved to Oregon. I never really understood why they were a necessity until I moved here!

Yup! I walk to our cafeteria daily at work and it is a long walk outside.

I don't. It rains a lot here but its a driving town so I only have to walk from parking lot to building when it rains.

Yep. I have some Hunters (so does Liv...so cute) and I love them. I find them very comfortable. I dont wear them for fashion, but it helps that they are cute =o)

Yes. I have a pair of hunters and a pair of welly socks for them. I love them both!! They're fashionable and functional :).

I need them but I always find the calves too small. anyone got some leads on some good, cute, extra wide calf rainboots?

I have a pair of purple Hunters and I love them! But it hardly ever rains here, so rarely do I get to wear them.

I have a pair of Tretorn ones. I used to have Target ones that I wore until they cracked a few years later, but they were so uncomfortable. Even the Tretorn ones aren't that comfortable, so they are only for actual rain, not just for fashion. I do want a pair of welly socks so I can wear them through the winter in the snow and slush-- with regular socks my feet still get cold.

I have two pairs of Hunters and love them. They're totally functional and yes I wear them on non-rain days. They really come in handy at the muddy dog park.
@travelingbrit: Hunter has a line of wide-calf boots.

@lemondrop: ha ha I'm in AZ too and I was thinking, well, no I just wear flip flops if it rains... LOL Or if it Really rains, I'll put on real shoes.

I have a pair of Keens that are awesome, and much cheaper than Wellies.

I have a pair of black and white ones from Target.

I have a pair from JCrew that are navy with pink polka dots. I want to purchase a pair of Hunter boots though.

I have a pair that I bought at Academy Sports and Outdoors. It isn't fancy by any means, and gets the job done. They're slightly too heavy for my liking though.

I just splurged and purchased a pair of Hunter boots--eek! So excited to wear them.

I have navy hunters and just bought Charlie a new pair of yellow ones for half off!

I have a cheap pair I got at wal-mart. Not comfy but has a cute pattern.
blogger / nectarine / 2687 posts
i loooooove my yellow hunters! i got them after going through 3 different pairs (2 from j crew, 1 from target) that ripped over time. the hunters are heavier and will probably never ever rip! plus, they're good for snow, too because they're so thick!

Yep, I bought a cute pair of rainboots a few years ago, they're good for mucking around the barn, yard work and even in a light snow with some warm socks to get to-from the car.

@shopaholic: I went with the standard black though I was tempted by Wine--they have so many fun colors!
