In addition to being waterproof, the "Rockie Hi" also happens to be a great-looking boot. With leather or nubuck uppers, these ankle boots are as casually fashionable as they are practical, and are perfect for pairing with jeans, cords, or khakis. Available in brown nubuck, brown leather, or black leather, these boots also have a slew of comfort features worth checking out. (Buy Direct)

Priced at less than $80 per pair, and available in men's sizes 7-15, these rain boots from Bogs are the ultimate in practicality. They have neoprene uppers that make them warm as well as waterproof -- in fact, they're comfort-rated to -40 degrees. I also really like the height of these boots, which is just enough to keep your feet, ankles, and hemlines dry without being difficult to pull off and on. If you need a style that's taller or shorter, you may want to check out the rest of the Bogs' collection, as there are plenty of styles to choose from. (Buy Direct)

With sporty, low styling; vulcanized rubber uppers; and slip-on styling; these rain shoes have a really cool, casual look to them, and come in olive or black. (Buy Direct)
