Once you have your rain boots, it’s time to think about the rest of your outfit.  There are dozens of styles of raincoats on the market.  Remember to buy one roomy enough to take a knit sweater or cardigan underneath as temperatures can be changeable in Spring.  Add a bright scarf and a stylish umbrella, pop on your rain boots, and you’ll be set to take on the outdoors.

And when your outer wear comes off your jeans are a perfect match for any style of rain boot.  You’ll be tempted to wipe your rain boots dry and pop them back on as they will look so great with your favourite jeans.

Our complete range of rain boots are on display in our boutiques in Toronto and Kingston or check them out online.  If you shop in person, and have chosen a leather boot, our knowledgeable staff will be able to advise you on how to care for them.  Rubber rain boots, of course, just need a wipe to keep them looking clean and glossy.

So, whatever your plans for Spring and those rainy days of Summer and Fall, remember that a good pair of rain boots will keep you dry, comfortable and fashionable.  Rain boots and waterproof shoes are an essential part of any woman’s closet and are a great investment.
