The Carmina boots are too swell for words.

I live in a city with 202 rainy days per year (find out which city this at http://swims.no). Despite having a pair of those Swims, I can't manage without several pairs of waterproof shoes with a PTFE membrane. Ecco makes mostly black waterproof shoes that hold up well against the rain but I have never found a stylish model in brown.

As if I weren't already craving a pair of Indy boots enough, Will. My credit card will definitely suffer as a result of this blog post!

Alden cordovan shoes and boots with double soles are not pleasing to my eye. They look massive and clunky, like shoes Frankenstein would wear. I do like the Carmina boot in the bottom photo. Very nice, very sleek. If I were compelled to buy leather rain boots, that is the sort of pair I would buy. Has anyone considered acquiring a pair of vintage button boots for the rainy season?

I had a pair of shell cordovan brogues with a double sole and a storm welt made up by Ron Rider (R. Martegani) to be my storm shoes. They work great. And are incredibly comfortable. Although they look like the old boat sized shoes our fathers wore in the 50's.I hear that Ron is launching a boot making company (Rider Boot Company), by the way. He may have a boot that you like, john.

I think the boots from Leather Soul are fantastic and I have considered buying them. The only thing that I can't seem to wrap my head around is why would a pair of boots meant for rainy weather would have leather soles?! I want them to have some rubber on the bottom! So I don't have to wear overshoes with my boots!Am I wrong for having this mindset or does anyone else feel like the double leather

Nice post, Will. I am going to think about a pair of boots for the Spring rain. As you know from previous posts, I am not a fan of Alden shoes, but perhaps they have a "rain boot" that I would like. I'll check out the Madison Avenue store selection on my way home tonight.Thanks.
