I've always loved my UGG minis but had to leave them home every time it drizzled. This version fixes that. It's waterproof suede with a Gore-Tex lining and a grippier Vibram sole, but it still looks like the cozy UGG we all know. Perfect for damp mor...
UGG® Mini Classic Gore-Tex® Waterproof Boot (Women)
The budget pick I'd tell any friend to grab first. It's a simple rubber Chelsea that slips on in two seconds, which matters when you're herding kids out the door in a downpour. The faux fur lining makes it cozy enough for chilly fall mornings too. Ov...
Chooka Women's Delridge Waterproof Faux Fur Chelsea Boot
If you like the duck boot look but want something lighter and less clunky, this is it. The rubber shell keeps your feet dry and the lace-up top makes it feel more put together than a basic rain boot. I'd wear these with leggings and a puffer on soggy...
SOREL Women's Out N About lV Waterproof Boot
A rubber Chelsea that doesn't look like you borrowed it from the garden shed. The chunky lug sole gives it a bit of edge and the olive is such a nice fall color with jeans and a camel coat. Easy to rinse off after a muddy pumpkin patch trip, and it's...
Sperry Women's Torrent Chelsea Rain Boot
Hunter is the rain boot brand for a reason, and the Play is their lighter, comfier take on the classic. The short height is so much easier to pull on than the tall version and it still clears most puddles. I like that it comes in a bunch of colors if...
Hunter Women's Play Short Rain Boot
This is the most reviewed waterproof boot at Nordstrom right now, and I get why. It's a sleek leather Chelsea on a chunky lug sole, so it looks stylish but actually grips on wet sidewalks. I'd wear it with straight jeans, a midi skirt, pretty much ev...
Sam Edelman Laguna Waterproof Lug Sole Chelsea Boot
Don't let the Ariat name make you think barn boots. The Wexford is a clean, polished Chelsea in waterproof leather with a really cushioned footbed. Over a thousand reviewers say they're comfortable straight out of the box, which is rare for leather b...
Ariat Wexford Waterproof Chelsea Boot (Women)
The classic Timbs in a women's fit. They're properly waterproof with seam sealed leather and a padded collar, so they're my pick for days that are cold, wet and messy all at once. I love them in black with leggings and an oversized sweater. They take...

Blondo Dagger Waterproof Boot (Women)
A tall boot you can actually wear in the rain. It's waterproof with a low 2 1/4 inch heel and a wide calf, which is surprisingly hard to find in a weatherproof knee high. Söfft is known for comfort, and this one has a cushioned footbed for long days....

Blondo Temple Waterproof Ankle Bootie (Women)
My pick for when you want a bit of height but still have to walk a few blocks. The 2 1/2 inch heel is stable, the pointed toe makes your legs look longer, and the shaft sits right above the ankle so it works with both skirts and jeans. That rich brow...
