British Weather Is Your Excuse for Some New Waterproof Boots
Rain showers bring misery. But relax, because the perks of bad weather are plentiful. It provides a good excuse to invest in a big cosy coat, for one, and then there’s the opportunity to layer up, Joey from Friends-style, if you like.
It also means you have genuine reason to sport a pair of waterproof boots all year round. You can wear them to work, wear them to dinner, wear them to see friends and wear them to a festival, and no one will bat an eyelid, as, when you’re in the UK, there’s every chance a torrential downpour is imminent.
Here are our top picks of waterproof boots for the season.
Timberland/MrPorter - 2/13
1) Stüssy x Timberland
Timberland’s World Hiker recently got Stüssyfied, resulting in a waterproof kick that belongs to the streets and the dirt trails.

Timberland - 3/13
2) Moncler
Moncler – famed for its cool puffers, but also very good at making shoes. Waterproof boots included, such as these recycled EVA Acqua High boots defined by a wavy ripple effect pattern.

Mr Porter - 4/13
3) Crocs
Take a moment to consider a slightly offbeat option: the Crocs Crush Boot. Why? Well, because they’re reasonably priced, easy to clean (just use a wet wipe!) and, like most shoes to hail from the label, hella comfortable.

4) Duke and Dexter
There’s no guilt attached to these waterproof boots from Duke and Dexter since each pair is formed from a recycled plastic Vibram sole and a biodegradable leather upper.
