Chic Water Resistant Boots That Aren’t Rain Boots

Don’t get us wrong, rain boots are great! They certainly have a time and place, but they aren’t always what you want to wear all day long if there’s only sprinkles on the horizon and not a full on downpour.

Instead, opt for a pair of boots that are equally chic, comfortable AND water resistant. We found pairs starting at $56 from top brands like Steve Madden, Sam Edelman, Lands’ End and more that you’ll want to splash around in this season:

• On-sale style: Steve Madden HUTCHH20
• Coziest option: Bombas Saturday Suede Boot
• Editor-approved style: Kizik Sierra Chelsea

Keep in mind that many of these boots are all marketed as water resistant, not waterproof. Water resistant gear (like these leather and suede boots) will resist light rain and splashes, while waterproof provides more complete protection against more intense rain.

Take your look to new heights with these Steve Madden booties, on major sale now with code FRIENDS! They feature a built-in sock style for added comfort.

These definitely get our seal of approval for “best office style.” Available in black or tan, you’ll get a lift thanks to the heel with support from the double treaded outsole.

Kizik Sierra Chelsea

Choose from four options (two suede and two leather) that’s the perfect blend of classic and trendy, ready to make a statement.

Known for their rain boots, we just found a city-ready style that leaves the rubber behind. Featuring a chunky luggeed sole for protection wherever you go, these seamlessly zip up the front.

We love that these are a slightly different take on the classic Bean boots! Made from premium full-grain leather, these have loops on the front and back for easy on-and-off instead of the traditional laces.

So easy to style, SOREL is known for their snow boots but these are great for drizzly days!
