Yea, Nay, Or Eh: Rubber Boots, Not Just For Puddle-Hopping?
August 18, 2009 1:56 pm
Are wellies making the leap from protective gear to all-weather footwear? If the designers at Hunter have anything to say about it, the answer could be yes. First they collaborated with Jimmy Choo on a $395 croc-embossed style that was almost too nice to wear in the rain. Now they’ve introduced a pair with rugged laces, rivets, and elaborate buckles—detailing worthy of the season’s must-have biker boots. They’re far more stylized than the average galoshes, and at $225 on www.net-a-porter.com, they don’t come cheap. We suspect they’re intended for year-round wear, which begs the question: Would you wear rubber boots on a sunny day like today?

By STYLISHSAM on 08/18/09 at 4:31 pmNO WAY. Too hot PARTICULARLY on a summer day. Rain boots are for rainy days ONLY. Eeew. Like nylons in the heat. Just gross.

By tr_ro on 08/19/09 at 12:07 amAn absolute must - on rainy days.
By shawanda on 08/19/09 at 12:36 amThey are a tad too stylish for just swooshing up mud, definitely an all weather boot and really stylish for a rubber boot!A distressed denim shorts, an oversized tee, some chunky hardware and these boots are enough to blaze the summer hot!

I think she looks great and edgy. I think it is a bit hot for leather, but She looks great with those shoes.LOve the clutch. I say the girl rocks.
By larissalove on 08/23/09 at 4:14 pmI LOVE THEM!!!! I don’t know what the big deal was about Hunter boots before I saw these. You can actually wear these all day with an outfit, as to before you had to have an extra pair in the car or your bag. These are hot,
By larissalove on 08/23/09 at 4:16 pmHowever never wear these on a sunny day! People need to get a grip on wearing boots in the summer even if it is with mini jean shorts…. Fashion Faux Pas
