Women's Rain Boots

Super-cute, and just as practical, these women's rain boots from Bogs feature a 100% waterproof construction, four-way stretch shafts, and vivid print accents. And if all of that weren't enough, they also feature a handy handle on each side that makes them easy to pull on and off.

Perfect for working outside in the garden, or for just slipping into before running errands on a rainy day, Bogs come in lots of different heights and patterns, and they're also available in kids' sizes.

If you're looking for rain boots with heels, but still want something fun, then you may way to have a look at these cute heeled boots from Rockport. The glossy colorful uppers remind me a lot of gogo boots -- which I love -- but the rugged heels are a nice update. In addition to the eye-catching design, these women's rain boots also have two other great features: side zippers and back goring, both of which make them easier to get on and off. There are lots of great colors to choose from, including brights and pastels, but if you're looking for something more subtle, check them out in navy or black matte.

Any time I'm looking for colorful print rain boots, Kamik is one of the first brands I check, and when it comes to fun prints, they never disappoint. The "Janis" rain boots feature an explosion of flowers, and come in several different color combinations including plum, navy, black, light blue, and light green.

If you're looking for a pair of weatherproof boots that are more on the dressy side, I suggest taking a look at rain boots from Aquatalia by Marvin K. This particular model features classic styling, 3-inch heels, and side zippers. Available in black and brown weatherproof suede, these are perfect for wearing to the office on rainy days, and they'd look as good with dresses as they would with jeans.

Looking for something a little different? You'd be hard-pressed to find anything cuter than these ankle rain boots from Sorel. Offering foot, ankle, and hemline protection, these boots are ideal for days when you're going casual and can't be bothered with pulling on a taller boot -- and they come in loads of cheery colors like blue, red, and yellow, as well as in basic black.

No need to wait for the rainbow, with these Hunter rain boots, you'll be the one providing it. In classic tall style, these boots are just like the colorful originals, but they have a high gloss finish that really pops -- and they come in several great colors, including violet, teal and graphite.

Though these Hunter rain boots are actually pull-ons, they have decorative front lacing that really gives them an extra dose of personality, and they come in five fab colors, although my favorite is the basic black version shown here. With shafts that are 15" tall and just over 16" in circumference, these boots are a bit wider than many other styles, and they also have spongey insoles for added comfort.
