Rain boots
Rain boots are essential in a rainy country like the Netherlands. It's raining, but you still need to head outside? Rain boots make sure your feet and the bottom of your trousers at least stay dry. Rain boots are mostly made from rubber, which makes the boots not only waterproof, but also very flexible to wear.
Coloured Rain Boots
In the past, rain boots were only made in dark colours, such as green, black, blue and grey. Luckily that's different nowadays: wearing red, orange, pink or yellow rain boots automatically makes you feel a bit more cheerful, and the rain suddenly seems a little less bad.
Short Rain Boots versus Tall Rain Boots
Rain boots are getting trendier. You can see that not only in the different colours, but also in the different heights. Short rain boots are especially popular among women and festival-goers: your feet stay dry and you look fashionable too. Tall rain boots offer more protection against cold weather conditions, keeping not only your feet dry but also the bottom of your trousers. While rain boots used to be mostly shapeless and functional, they're now increasingly fashionable and, of course, still functional.
Tip
Most rain boots have a rough tread on the bottom, giving them plenty of grip on wet surfaces. Rain boots are therefore ideal to wear, for example, during a rainy walk in the woods.
