Just be mindful that the fanned-out heel drop might take a bit of getting used to. Although we do not recommend these heeled boots for very long walks, they're good for short commutes or an outing in the rain. While the Thermals take a minute to break in and are on the pricier side, we think the investment of patience and money is more than worth it for the years of wear ahead.Įlevated on a 1-inch platform and 2-inch block heel, these boots are fully waterproof and the most stylish way to walk in the rain. Steel shanks underfoot make these a bit heavy, but the extra protection and stability are well worth it. We like that the midsole and outsole absorb shock well and that the traction can tackle almost any surface.įurry shearling footbeds add an extra dose of luxe comfort and warmth to these lightly insulated boots and can be removed for warmer days. Thanks to its stitched construction, this is a highly repairable boot with some major longevity potential. We love a Chelsea boot with a pull tab (in this case two) which makes it easier to slip on and off. Apart from water protection, these can also withstand heat, making them a great option for casual bike riding or other sweat-inducing outings. From farm to city, the Blundstone Thermals are a solid, waterproof boot that can withstand rugged outdoor conditions, protect against external elements, but clean up nicely for a dressy-casual outing.įully waterproof up to the elastic, all the seams of these beautiful leather boots are sealed. With a tradition of excellent craftsmanship, Australian maker Blundstone updated their iconic staple to this thermal version that’s just as reliable and versatile-making it our best overall unisex pick. Our experts also recommend that you opt for your own orthotic instead of the included “foot form” insole if you’re planning to wear these for hours on your feet.Ī fantastic all-terrain, all-occasion boot, Blundstones have become a household name with hip outdoorsy individuals. We especially like the back toe, which helps you easily take them off in a pinch.Īlthough these boots are made of fully waterproof, durable rubber, they're not insulated, and the foot box and calf area is very roomy, even when sized appropriately, so layer up if heading out in the snow. The boot's Trac 10 outsole and heel treads dig into mud, snow, and dirt, and are very stable and sturdy for a boot of this price range. The contoured front of the boots would make them great for tasks that might give a lot of front splash, like mowing or hosing off a car.
We particularly like this option because they're more flexible than your typical budget rain boot-boasting a scalloped shaft edge that flexes as you move. The boots are tall enough for tromping in high grass and sturdy enough for traversing debris in the woods or shallow streams. These rubber boots by Servus are the perfect, affordable pair for throwing on for rain, outdoor chores like gardening, or light fishing days. Overall, we love how lightweight this pick is for such a tall, fully waterproof boot-especially compared to competitors. But you can always insert your own orthotic insole for added support if you need it. One trade-off to the Wetland’s comfy, flexible sole is less midsole support which may not be ideal for walkers looking for more stability. We also like that the boots feature an EVA midsole for flexible cushioning, a stub-preventing toe bumper, and grippy, deep lugged traction. The reinforced rubber outer protects your ankles when you're walking in rougher and more unpredictable terrain. And we like that the boots protect your feet from the cold in temperatures ranging from -20 to 50 degrees. The inside of the boot features a breathable mesh lining that helps wick away sweat.
The stretchy, 5-millimeter waterproof neoprene upper-which pulls on and off easily over any calf type-insulates but can also be rolled down if legs get too warm. The nearly knee-high rain boots are truly waterproof, even when fully submerged in water. Heavy-duty enough for industrial outdoor work, but light and comfortable for daily treks, these boots by The Original Muck Boot Company are our best men's overall pick.
