Rain Boots
Indoors or outdoors, at a party or in the woods, rain boots or riding boots are a stylish fashion statement. Aside from being a practical, useful choice, nothing says style and substance like a well-crafted pair of boots. This season, shoppers are spoiled for choice with a wide range of boots in suede and leather. Here is a look at how to select your boots carefully:
Rain Boots
Built to withstand and resist considerable amounts of wear, rain boots are also built to resist water and grime. Rain boots are typically available in black, white, and military green although with a high demand for retro boots, argyl, spotted and plaid boots are popular choices. Some rain boots are lined and it is important to ensure that the material of the lining does not irritate your foot and legs. Check the tread to ensure it grips wet surfaces firmly and that the soles of your boots do not slip on smooth surfaces. Mid-calf or knee-length rain boots for women are ideal for heavy weather and allow you to tuck jeans or pants into them. Rain boots are typically available as full-length, mid-length cute boots or puddle boots that are shorter than knee length. Rain boots do need to be cleaned and dried after use, as dirt often tends to scratch glossy leather surfaces.
Suede Boots
Built for cold weather, nothing says rustic urban chic like a pair of suede boots. Immortalized in an Elvis Presley song with good reason, suede boots are objects of desire unmatched by any other footwear. Although easily damaged by water or grime, suede boots are the pride of every major footwear label for their high fashion value. Suede boots are great cold weather footwear and are available as ankle-length desert boots, mid-calf and calf-high boots. Fringes are usually associated with suede footwear and a suede boots are available with two-fringe or three-fringe options. Suede boots should be checked for even fringes and durable insoles. Waterproofed suede boots with faux fur lining are very popular as are lace-up desert boots.
Riding Boots
Important in equestrian dressage or casual riding, a riding boot is designed to be light, durable and comfortable to wear for long periods in the saddle. These are tall boots, typically 14 to 17 inches in height. Riding boots need to come up to the bend in the knee without obstructing movement. Ensure that your riding boots have strong ankle and insole support. Above all, whether wearing field boots or dress boots, riding boots should not be loose around the calf as this can be unsafe. Dress boots need to be inspected for scratches and defects. Riding boots for women and men are available in black, gray and brown while casual riding boots such as paddock boots are available in a range of contemporary natural leather hues.
Leather All-Weather Boots
All-weather leather boots are an essential to complement every wardrobe. From thigh length glossy leather ladies boots to calf length lace up boots for women, leather boots fit every occasion – casual, semi-formal or formal. All-weather boots need to have good heel support, firm buckle or zipper fasteners and of course, need to be waterproof.
Whether riding boots, rain boots, or classic all-weather black leather boots, winter boots, short boots or brown leather boots, you know what to check your boots for before buying them.
