There are many styles of rain boots for women, the wide choice is not surprising as rain boots have been in fashion for many years and the popularity has never diminished. In fact, they are now considered to be fashionable footwear for women who want to look stylish whilst taking the rain on their feet. As with other fashion items, there are both male and female versions of rain boots for women. The Wellington boot, which was originally a shorter version of a normal hiking boot, was originally a style of standard military boots adapted for use in the rain. They were hugely popularised and worn by Arthur Wellesley, first Duke of Wellington, and were used by British soldiers in their campaigns in the rain.
They proved to be an excellent alternative to the long, heavy work boots worn by the British Army and were also worn by Russian military soldiers as well. The Wellington boots for women have always remained a firm favourite, primarily due to their waterproofing properties, as well as the fact that they provided a more flexible and comfortable fit than the more rigid, standard hiking boots. As well as being waterproof and comfortable, they were stylish, as well as providing good protection from the rain.
As well as waterproofing and durability, they are a breathable style of boot, which means that your feet will stay cool even when the temperature is high. This helps prevent blistering, and a common problem for boots in wet weather conditions such as in the rain. The style, design and appearance of these boots are most popular amongst young girls, but some of the more fashionable pairs can be seen on young boys as well. Some of them have laces and cute bows at the top which make them very attractive. Some of the more funky boots can be found at specialist online stores and some of them are also available for men. Rain boots for women are an item of great fashion and make great gifts for young and old alike.
