Make Sure You Buy Quality Rain Boots

By Patty Goff


Variety is one of the huge benefits of variable fashion for all seasons. There are so many different styles of rain boots available, that in some cases they do not even look like they resemble their name. They however do still have one thing in common and that is that they are made out of rubber. They can either be long or short depending on the wearer's preference.

Spats or spatter guards are used outdoors that cover the instep and the ankle so to prevent the water from trickling down the leg and into the ankle opening of the shoe. A gaiter on the other hand is worn over the lower pants leg and the shoe and is generally worn as protective equipment. Spats were very common in the late 19th and early 20th century and were worn more by men then woman.

These are still worn today especially in the molten metal foundries for protection. As they cover the ankles it helps to prevent any melted metal from getting caught inside the shoe which could cause very severe burns. Some chainsaw operators wear these as well as special chainsaw boots for added protection in case the blade comes into contact with the foot or ankle.

Goodman was more interested in the manufacture of tires so Hutchinson decided to buy the patent for manufacturing footwear instead. He then moved to his home country where nearly all the inhabitants at the time worked in fields wearing wooden clogs. Upon the introduction of these rubber models, they were instantly very popular as they kept the feet dry, clean and warm.

When World War 1 started the soldiers needed suitable footwear while walking in the muddy trenches and flooded areas. The rubber company at the time had to send in a request to the War Office so that a suitable boot could be made. This made the mills run day and night to fulfill the vast amount of quantities that were needed for the soldiers. Well over one million pairs where made all within a very short space of time.

In Australia they are more commonly known as gumbies or blucher boots. In Canada and United States of America they are rubber or billy boots. They are used more in the springtime when the snow is melting and the ground is wet, slippery and very muddy. There are some that are insulated especially for the very cold months in both Canada and The United States.

For the men there is a Cole Haans Wedge Lace Boot that is waterproof and is a lace up. The upper part of the shoe is leather while the sole is rubber. It is lightweight and has a midsole made of leather as well. The color copper will compliment any outfit that is worn.

All the models come in different colors and can be worn by men, woman and children. They also come in different heights depending on the person's preference. The children's tend to come in light weight which allows them to move easier but the adults come in both light and heavy weight.
