Jump in those puddles..in your new rain boots

In my last post, I described my rainy day experience. If you recall, it wasn’t too pleasant. I had wet jeans up to my knees, and a broken umbrella that was good for nothing. So today I looked for new items that could prepare me for the next rainy day that rolls around. My first item: rain boots.

I found a couple different of pairs that I liked, with prices varying from $20 to around $60. Because I am in college, I’m definitely leaning towards the $20 pair (picture on left). I found them online at Target. They have a big variety that can be found here. The reviews were quite positive, although didn’t say much about the waterproof quality, which is what I care most about. The only issues that the consumers had were possible peeling of the coating, sizes were a little big, and the colors weren’t as bright as they were online. Other than that, they all gave at least four out of five stars and would recommend them to anyone.

The most expensive pair that I found were those in the picture on the right. They were $56 and were by Kamik. Their website said specifically that these boots were waterproof, whereas waterproof was not specified on the boots at Target. They supposedly have a special sole that maximizes traction, also, and technology that allows for prevention of odor inside the shoe.

Although the Kamik boots may be of better quality, as long as the Target boots don’t leak, I think I will stick with the cheaper pair. If you know of any better ones or have any comments about these, let me know! Next up: Umbrellas!
