The 17 Best Waterproof Shoes for Keeping Your Feet Dry and Happy
Waterproof shoes—whether that's a sneaker, a dress shoe, or a boot—are vital for maintaining composure when you have to deal with crappy weather. The rain, snow, and sleet are about to start rolling in, and there's not always time for a complete outfit overhaul every time there's a hint of wet in the air. Getting a functional shoe that is also stylish helps make every day of bad weather at least a little more bearable. Here are 17 shoes guaranteed to keep your feet dry.
Headed into the office on a dreary day? Try a waterproof derby from Johnston & Murphy, Chelsea boots from Camper, or waterproof suede chukkas(!) from Blondo. Are you an outdoor runner who doesn't care about drizzles? Nike and Hoka One One have the stuff for you. Need something for the beach? Look no further than Birkenstock. As you can see, waterproof shoes aren't just all about rubber Wellies—though, the style is still one of the best for downpours. You have options, and we rounded up the best of 'em below.
