The mouse flats I have had for about 5 years and slogged through many a puddle in and they are still looking great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555559 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 22:32:17 +0000 Anonymous 1555559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have enough sandals, Elly?<br /> Seems like you'd want to stock up on those. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555556 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 22:28:34 +0000 retailgirl 1555556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of older black flats and navy flats that I don't mind getting wet,so if there's even a hint of rain, I wear them to work and carry my good shoes. If it's my day off, I wear Sperry topsiders or sandals if it's warm. Rain boots are too warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555555 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 22:21:41 +0000 unfrumped 1555555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have same issues, as recently dashed off wearing "nice" shoes in a pale and potentially "spot-prone" leather, and encountered a sudden shower. If&nbsp;it's already a rainy morning when I'm getting ready, I&nbsp;try to remember to plan outfit so I can&nbsp; &nbsp; wear&nbsp; shoes with a more durable leather finish, maybe a chunky sole &nbsp;(so of course&nbsp; not for prolonged walking in heavy rain or puddles ) but also started keeping some second-stringer loafers in car and I have some kind of walking shoes at work so in a real downpour I will wear those from car to building and change.<br />I would not be averse to&nbsp; having some mid-leg cute rain boots--wouldn't make sense to get something expensive, but just fun. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555533 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 21:17:00 +0000 abc 1555533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have shorty rain boots by aigle sorry no find </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555460 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 18:39:29 +0000 Colette 1555460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the warm, rainy weather I'll wear platform wedges to elevate me from puddles, sneakers if I'm wearing gear. For dog walking in the warm rain I'll throw on my sloggers gardening shoes without socks. No matter how careful I am when walking the dogs I end up with wet feet so I had to give in and add gardening shoes to my collection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555459 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 18:39:23 +0000 Astrid 1555459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just wear my sandals, use an umbrella and skip the large puddles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555453 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 18:30:49 +0000 Elly 1555453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate all the advice, ladies. This thread was started before I got the news about Arizona-- I know I will have this same dilemma next year, but my solution will be totally different with the sudden downpours and very warm temp combos. I will come back here then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555447 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 18:14:42 +0000 ladyjules 1555447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cowboy boots, yes, they are a great choice rainy but warm days. Also this kind of shoes:<br /><a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/16/0e/a3160ef878e254f4be8e4a14e1c2fcc9.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://s-media-cache-ak0.pini.....c2fcc9.jpg</a><br /><a href="http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1JEAxIpXXXXXnXVXXq6xXFXXXx/new-spring-2015-platform-shoes-woman-oxford-shoes-female-square-toe-leather-oxford-working-shoes-for.jpg" rel="nofollow"><a href="http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1JEAxIpXXXXXnXVXXq6xXFXXXx/new-spring-2015-platform-shoes-woman-oxford" rel="nofollow">http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB.....man-oxford</a>...</a><br />Basically any shoe that's laced or very close to the ankle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1555148 Fri, 11 Sep 2015 02:14:49 +0000 cfox 1555148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been meaning to respond to your question - sorry it took so long! The best shoes I have found for warm rain are these dressy croc flats. There are absolutely no issues with them getting wet and I happily wear them rain or shine with pants and dresses. Crocs have come a long way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551897 Sat, 05 Sep 2015 00:26:05 +0000 Rambling Ann 1551897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These shoes are about all I'd have on that kind of day, a sturdy leather that wipes clean. The thing is, wet feet indoors makes me cold, so I wouldn't mind the shoes being hot in the rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551834 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 21:58:33 +0000 Elly 1551834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the warmth is throwing me off-- cold rain like we get in the spring and I just wear boots, but I hate ruining canvas shoes and having damp socks, but can't imagine wearing boots. Most ballet flats don't work for me, including many of the sporty brands. I used to have some awesome non-gear looking nylon water resistant sneakers, but they are no longer made.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551667 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 17:56:04 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1551667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If it's casualwear, I'd go for something that could get wet, like Tevas or water shoes. That isn't so great for the office - maybe a pair of non-leather ballet flats that won't get wet, but that you can take off and dry (and your feet) when you get indoors?</p> <p>Remember those rubber overshoes that you could put on over your dress shoes? Do they still have those? I remember them for men, mostly, to wear over lace-up dress shoes, the kind you'd wear with a suit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551571 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:51:13 +0000 MuseumGal 1551571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cowboy boots! &nbsp;Works with both pants and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551555 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:35:11 +0000 Diana 1551555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh!&nbsp; I can't believe I forgot.&nbsp; I do have a pair of patent leather oxfords that are good for more serious rain.&nbsp; The patent is pretty waterproof.&nbsp; They are still a little hot but not nearly so bad as rubber boots.&nbsp; I wear little secret socks in all my oxfords so it's not too sweaty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551530 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:12:13 +0000 Diana 1551530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have never figured out a good solution to this problem.&nbsp; I can't stand&nbsp; rubber rain boots because they make your feet so hot and sweaty.&nbsp; Usually I just wear canvas sneakers or leather oxfords and just deal with them being slightly damp.(ETA: I keep extra shoes at work so if they're really wet I can change shoes.)</p> <p>We haven't had much summer rain this year, knock on wood. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551527 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:09:39 +0000 catgirl 1551527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought these microfiber booties for that exact purpose and I'm wearing them today as it pours.&nbsp; Of course, our August rain is chillier than yours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551525 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:08:37 +0000 Jenn 1551525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple pairs of Keens (ballet flats and MJ mules, not sandals) I mostly wear as slip-on campsite shoes, but the wrap-around rubber soles make them great for summer rains, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551523 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 15:05:15 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1551523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of leather ballet-style flats that I don't mind getting wet.&nbsp; I'll wear them on work days for the commute and carry nicer shoes in my bag to wear in the office.&nbsp; On weekends Converse is usually my go to if it's just a bit of rain.&nbsp;<br /> The rubber rain boots seemed like a good idea in the spring when we were getting tons of rain, but as predicted by me, as soon as I bought them the rain became more of a "sometimes for a few minutes" thing.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551517 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:54:02 +0000 BethT 1551517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wanting to go out and buy some rubber rain boots. &nbsp;I'll just need them for the parking lot from my car to work, but since I now own adult shoes (vs. just sneakers) I don't want to ruin them by rain or slush this winter. &nbsp;</p> <p>If I'm wearing my chucks (so not all my shoes are "adult"), I'll just splash in the puddles!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shoes-for-august-rain#post-1551499 Fri, 04 Sep 2015 14:24:51 +0000 Elly 1551499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We don't get "huge puddles in the street" rain but still deal with hot weather rain -- not horribly hot but temps where I would usually wear sandals or breathable canvas sneakers.</p> <p>What do you ladies wear for this weather? Leather shoes? Nylon sneakers? </p>
