These Boots Are Made For Splashing!

Hi friends recently I was looking to replace an old pair of rainboots. I wear everything for a long time; which means sometimes I find replacing items difficult, either because the retailer no longer carries the item or they have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

I took a deep dive and ordered a few styles from Zappos to try. I decided in addition to a tall pair of rainboots to add a bootie style I can wear with jeans.

My very first pair of rainboots was a gift from my husband. You may want to grab a pair for yourself or possibly someone else.

Kamik - Chloe Lo: These boots were very reminiscent of galoshes. They have a nice weight, are very malleable and easy to put on. The material is thin of 100% made with PVC-free, vulcanized rubber and are vegan verified. But, the sizing was off. The 8 was too small and the 9 was too big. The contrasting lining color is fun! These I really wanted to love.

Sperry - Torrent Chelsea: I was excited about the design. But, when I walked in them they hit the front of my leg in an odd spot and honestly it sorta hurt. I thought could I wear these with thicker socks - but no I don’t want to buy anything that feels in any way uncomfortable.

UGG - Drizlita: I only wear UGG slippers so the prospect of UGG rainboots with the same wonderful sheepskin insole excited me to no end. The boots however were large on my feet and the sole was clunky, heavy and has UGG written across it over and over and over which I am not a fan of.

Kamik - Heidi 2: They fit well and were comfortable. The leg has a nice width. They were easy to put on and take off. I did not like that they had no fabric lining in the leg.

Here are the two styles I chose:

Toni Pons - Cavour: These are the winner friends. I like the color, the elastic side panels, the easy pull tab and the substantial feel when I walk. They are made in Spain. I’ve worn them a handful of times - they are comfy!

Kamik - Heidi: I couldn’t find this sku through Zappos - the site we use to purchase most of our footwear. I went directly to Kamik and success! I love the height of the leg, the cozy lining material and the multi-directional tread design on the sole assures sure footedness. I have worn them in light snow and ice. As the saying goes friends “If it ain’t broke...”
