Spring showers bring Spring flowers and, of course, rain boots too! Don’t let April showers keep you indoors or get you drenched. Rain boots are available in popular Spring colors and some styles even boast some adorable floral and animal prints.   When you get rain boots to wear for the Spring season, make sure they do not have the heavy fleece lining that are featured in the cold weather boots.

Hunter rain boots were all the rage last season and it doesn’t look these classic wellie styles are fading for Spring. Check out these Hunter ‘Original Tall’ High Gloss Rain Boots in turquoise, one of Spring’s hottest colors!

Don’t care for the gloss? Hunter Rain Boots are also available in the Hunter ‘Original Tall’ Rain Boot in non-gloss, in Yellow, Orange, Black, Navy, Red, or Chocolate.

The rain that we are known for in the Pacific Northwest is here and I’ve been thinking about getting a new pair of rain boots.  Style, as well as function, is important if I’m going put aside my cute suede and leather shoes when I go out on rainy days.

Even though rain boots are made to weather the elements, they are susceptible to wear and tear, especially at the seams.  I have found that the less expensive rain boots tend to do this. Spending a little more for a well-made rain boot is a good investment and will last for several seasons. Even still, well-made rain boots are very affordable and can usually be found in a price range of $60-$200.
