Make Sure You Buy Quality Rain Boots

By Patty Goff


Having the right shoe for the right moment is vital. Many people wear rain boots to protect their feet against the wetness after and during raining seasons. They are higher and larger than normal shoes and some even go as high as the calves. Many of these boots have spats or gaiters that help to keep the water out.

One shoe that is very common among the ladies is the Callie Waterproof Rain Shooties. They come in either black or chestnut and are available in all sizes. There is a zip on the outside which makes it easier to slip into and the heel is at a comfortable height. As their name implies they are only short and reach to the ankles.

All models were first made out of leather but in 1852, Hutchinson went ahead and met Charles Goodyear, the man who at the very same time had invented a special process called natural rubber vulcanization. This is a chemical process that changes rubber into a more durable material by adding sulfur to the mix. These then change the polymer but making a sort of a bridge between the individual chains.

Gaiters come in different lengths either high cut or low cut. The high cuts reach the top of the calf and are perfect for walking in thick bushes or tall grassy terrains. These are considered to have the best protection against rain, snow and even puddles. They are a bit more expensive and do not have a very good ventilation system.

The Steve Madden Women's Dreench boot will let one splash around in the puddles with no chance of getting wet. They have a round closed toe with two buckles and a back zipper. It has a one inch heel so any one will feel comfortable walking in them without the worry of slipping or twisting an ankle. Their colors are either black or green with many different sizes to choose from.

In Australia they are more commonly known as gumbies or blucher boots. In Canada and United States of America they are rubber or billy boots. They are used more in the springtime when the snow is melting and the ground is wet, slippery and very muddy. There are some that are insulated especially for the very cold months in both Canada and The United States.

Gore-Tex is 100% waterproof and very light. It is a breathable membrane that is laminated either on one side or both sides to any fabric and is water and wind proof. It is guaranteed to prevent dirt, oil and any stains from sticking to the surface. It is made from Polytetrafluoroethelene and each pore is millions of times smaller than a drop of water.

Shoes such as these have been around for many years and to this day are still very popular. They can either be made from rubber or plastic. Their primary function is to keep the persons feet dry from water, rain as well as mud. Traditionally they are higher and made a little larger than normal shoes and can either be pulled on, zipped up or laced.
