Sometimes the right rain boot for the weather is actually a rain loafer, like these. They’re made of bright green rubber with turquoise trim and a pert bow on the rounded toe. They’re ideal for wearing in the springtime, when the rest of the world is coming into color, with patterned tights and a full-skirted shirt dress. These run small, so be sure to order a full size up.
