Outdoor rain boots
What are good rain boots?
Good rain boots should have a lot of grip because you walk on wet and slippery surfaces. The rugged soles ensure that you don't have to worry about slipping on smooth surfaces. However, the boots provide less ankle support than regular hiking shoes. Rain boots are therefore not suitable for long walks. The rain boots are made of rubber, a flexible material that does not let water through. Because of the rubber, the rain boots are also comfortable and not stiff. The ventilation of a rain boot is significantly less than that of a high or low hiking shoe. We therefore recommend wearing thick, woolen socks in the boots. Wool absorbs perspiration moisture, keeping the feet dry for as long as possible.
How do rain boots fit?
Buy the rain boots in the same size as your own shoes, as rain boots are known to be slightly wider. If a certain size fits larger or smaller, this is always clearly indicated in the product description. Rain boots on Plutosport.nl are available in all kinds of fun colors and prints, so you can add a cheerful touch to a gloomy, rainy day. Children don't shy away from puddles in a little rain, which is why there are boots available in many colors and patterns especially for them. Rain boots can be found for both young (junior) and old (women and men) on the webshop!
Short rain boots versus tall rain boots
Rain boots are becoming increasingly trendy! This is not only evident in the different colors, but also in the different heights. Short rain boots are especially popular among women and festival-goers. With short rain boots, you not only keep your feet dry, but you also look very fashionable! Tall rain boots naturally offer more protection against cold weather conditions, keeping not only your feet but also the bottom of your pants dry. Although rain boots used to be mainly shapeless and functional, they are now becoming more fashionable and of course still functional.
Tip
To ensure that the rain boots remain waterproof for as long as possible, it is wise to spray the boots once a month with a nourishing and protective spray. If you don't do this, the rain boots will eventually dry out. This can lead to small cracks that cause the rain boots to lose their waterproof function.
