I was a Crocs skeptic for a long while, but they are surprisingly comfortable and not expensive. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-594202 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 11:43:47 +0000 Laura 594202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a range of thoughts! This one is for sure a challenge. I'm thinking of bringing those Naot booties, which have a rubber, platform sole, and I'm going to order a pair of wellies from Zappos today.</p> <p>Now to make sure I have a decent, functioning umbrella (it seems that whenever it's pouring and I pop up my umbrella, I discover that it is mangled). How I wish I had a trench with a hood! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-594109 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 06:05:54 +0000 ManidipaM 594109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, when it's truly muggy *and* muddy, I go with Crocs ballerinas. Mine are muddy-coloured for extra camouflage (They *call* them chocolate, but...!) And that's for weather when there's plenty of muck on the ground and you're like to slip-slide right onto your behind with all but the most traction-heavy rain boots. </p> <p>OTOH, rain boots (wellies) are fab for wading and splashing when you can't see what you're stepping into (eewwww!) but are reasonably certain of firm ground underfoot.</p> <p>I like IK's idea, though --- wish I could find a pair of them cowboy boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-594022 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 03:54:24 +0000 christieanne 594022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore my Kate Spade rain ballet flats in a pretty big storm Monday - no socks.<br /> The tops of my feet got a little wet but it wasn't like the shoe filled up with water or was squishy wet. I didn't jump in puddles though - Rain Boots make me want to do that </p> <p>Cowboy boots is a great idea too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-593902 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:35:20 +0000 ironkurtin 593902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>75 degree is the PERFECT weather for COWBOY boots! Why get rubber booties that make your feet sweat when you can break in a pair of cowboy boots and get them perfectly weathered? Just my two cents... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-593899 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:33:11 +0000 Anonymous 593899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wore patent leather booties all over Napa valley in the rain during vacation and my feet were happy and dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-593898 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 01:32:48 +0000 Angie 593898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I grew up in hot, humid and rainy weather! We would swap out our shoes at school and wear rubber slippers outside.

I feel like rubber boots are the only way you're going to keep your feet very dry, and I think boots would be my choice in 75 degree weather. I have one pair of patent ballet flats that I wear in the rain, which get my feet very wet and soak into the lining. But when the rain is hot and it's hot outside, I don't mind if my feet get wet, because it means they dry very quickly too. I'd rather not wear rain boots because it's just too hot above 85 degrees. I planned to buy rain boots and rain flats last year, but then it never rained and so it seemed like a waste of money. I haven't decided if I will get flats this year. I like the basket weave pair I posted because they look like they dry out fairly quickly. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-593687 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:19:17 +0000 catgirl 593687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://usa.hunter-boot.com/shop/womens/footwear/fashion-rubber#overlay=product/aston" rel="nofollow">http://usa.hunter-boot.com/sho.....duct/aston</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-593683 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:18:21 +0000 Isabel 593683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just want to mention that rain flats do not work for me.

I mean, I guess your feet get soaked but who cares because the shoes are plastic, right?</p> <p>I thought I remembered you posting a thread with a similar question years ago, Ana. I actually searched for it but couldn't find it! I am sure in Austin you deal with this regularly.</p> <p>I might look at Angie's rain boots article that she linked to the other day and see if I can order something from Zappos, because I could still get them before the weekend. I don't think Hunters (which I could buy at our Nordstrom) will work because they are tall and I'm not </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/footwear-for-warm-wet-weather#post-593677 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:11:43 +0000 Ana 593677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura, I am thinking of buying a pair of these (in case it ever rains here again):</p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/shoes-flats/24251050.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....251050.jsp</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/24250763.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.anthropologie.com/a.....250763.jsp</a></p> <p>J.

I'll be spending the weekend running around Chicago with some friends (the good news) and the weather is going to be 75 degrees (more good news) with thunderstorms (bad news!!).</p> <p>So clearly, 75 degrees is too warm for riding boots. Normally I would wear ballet flats or oxfords, but those will not survive a thunderstorm. I have a pair of black patent leather Naot booties that could work. Or do I need to buy a pair of rain boots?</p> <p>What would you wear? </p>
