I love those! Make sure whatever you wear isn't slippery on wet concrete. I always find out the hard way. I'd wear them and when you go indoors wipe them off with a paper towel that you keep in your purse. :) If they get ruined, call EB.

If you're going to a place where it rains often you can google what type of rain shoes/boots they wear. You can also buy waterproof boot covers but they're ugly. Or they won''t stand out in a rainy climate.

I live in rainy Oregon and I've never seen anyone wear rain boots. Are you planning on walking through puddles?

Those are so cute!

Also — please send your rain a few hours north on 35. Thank you. 😘😄

Eileen, quite honestly I am not sure. I think the ones I have will suffice. I will also scotch guard them to be extra safe!

The only kind of rainboot Ive seen anyone wear around here outside of winter are Hunter boots or similar. I think Target had some knockoffs.

Amy, are you sure you want tall boots for spring/summer? Those boots look soooooo hot. I'd think they'd or anything high (including Hunters tall) be terribly uncomfortable in anything over 75 deg. I have worn a waterproof Merrill clog .. and there are a couple of other brands that make waterproof clogs. You can also get Hunter boots in a short style but still... too much manmade material for me in spring/summer.

DH wears waterproof Keen shoes for his daily walks year round. They look heavy but he finds them more comfortable than running shoes and not heavy at all. Maybe something like the women's Nxis or Ridge Flex low height would work. Sold on the big South American river website, which I can't link to.

Thanks for the suggestions. I will be in Quebec City and it is looking like it will be pretty cold and wet. Maybe I shoudn't worry so much about it. I was just going to take my shorter uggs and add scotch guard as they are so comfy! They are the kind with a zipper and they are more form fitting and I could live in them except during hight heat of course!

Also, just to note, I have worn my Eddie Bauer boots in Texas in April and they were great. They are not that high. They are supposed to be mid height. However, I am short, so they come approx 4" below my knee. They are not super warm by any means. You would need some thicker socks to make them warmer. They really have no from of warm lining in them.

At the end of the day, all I care about is comfort and not being wet or too cold. That and I do not want to look ridiculous! lol 😉

oh gotcha -- for some reason, I thought you were coming to the east coast.

Your boots above sounds like they work great for you-- they are cute and you will want something very comfortable to walk in. I suppose you could test waterproofing .. or just do a preventative scotchguard treatment.

Have a great trip, Amy-- can't wait to hear about it!

I love my Bogs!

These are my lighter snow boota I have on now (its been snowing all da(y here)

Go splash in some puddles at home and see if they are waterproof. Eddie Bauer is a very good company and I doubt they would lie about waterproofness. The reviews are stellar and they say they are waterproof.

Thanks Oly!

Mojo, I love your boots! So cute!

@Funkyart, are you referring to my Uggs or the Eddie Bauer boot?

oh i am sorry-- was referring to the EB tall boots.. but sure, Uggs could work but they aren't intended or designed to be waterproof. The EB's are.

I think your EB waterproof boots will work must fine for your trip. At lewst you will be prepared for any wet weather you encounter and look cute at the same time! And you don’t have to spend more $$!

Outside, yes would be nice to get some wear out of them and not spend any more $$!

Just tried the on with a new pair on jeans. I think they will work perfectly!

Whoo hoo!

As a person who lives in the vicinity of QC though closer to St. John NB, I would have been perfectly at home in you EB boots over the last few weeks

Tractor Supply usually has some that are pretty cute for $20 or less. There are also some at Aldi right now for about $15.

Jilly, you are hilarious!

Thanks for the info local!

I will check them out, Spring.

I really like the last photo! I have never been to Quebec City but am excited for you. If it's damp and rainy those should work fine. Hope you have a great time! we'll need an update :)

Arapaho, I will defintiely give an update!!

They all look great! This thread, though, reminded me that not too long ago someone posted about wonderful rainboots that were positively adorable and reasonable in price. Several posters had them and vouched for them. Anyone know what I am trying to remember?

And anyone else hate how lousy the search function is here (which is why I am not going to even try and search)??

I remember, @salonva -- was the brand Joule?

YES! You are right Funky!

Joules

I have bought a lot of rain boots lately, everything from Sam Edelman, Bogs, Hunter....but they are for walking through mud mostly. I need very washable.

Have you ever tried sloggers? They're made in the US and I think they're really cute.... and they are definitely waterproof!

oops... forgot about the "not shiny" requirement... but they are still cute. lol!

Sounds like you're all set with your EBs.

I got my Joules rain boots and the mid height was really wide at the top, so I returned them. (The foot was too wide, as well). I kept the tall rainboots with the doggies because they had an adjustable top, so I narrowed it.

Last year I wore Pendleton rainboots. They're cute, narrower at the top but were kaput after a year.

I also wear Ariat waterproof boots and that brand has a lot of different styles, in both leather and in rubber. Very comfortable and reliable boots - they are my go-to.

Thanks you guys! All of the Joule boots I like were out of stock in my size.

I think I might as well use the waterproof boots I already have. They are really cut and comfy.

I will def posts all updates!!

Barn, the Ariats are so cute! If I did not have al pair that sort of resemble them, I wold consider.

It is funny as years and years ago, I remember being somewhere and I needed rubber boots for the rain. Someone lent me a pair and I remember thinking, I wish I could wear these all of the time!

I cannot remember any of the details to save my life. I think my memory is really going!
