Not Even the Rainy Season Can Keep Us from Stylish Footwear

The season of rain and intense humidity is upon us yet again. With stormy skies looming and puddles at every corner, we say it’s high time to restock our shoe racks with weather-appropriate footwear. Having trouble finding the ultimate pair for the rainy season? Keep reading; we’ve got you covered.

SNEAKERS

A crowd favorite when it comes to braving see-sawing weather conditions, trusty sneakers are our idea of a smart investment for the rainy season. Choose a lightweight, well-cushioned pair like Freewaters’ Sky Trainers for comfort during a long commute, or one with slip-proof grip like Adidas’ Los Angeles shoes (P4395).

HEELS

Not even the stormy weather can get between us and our heels. While towering stilettos may not be the best choice for the season, stable block heels are a stylish compromise. Our picks? Mango’s bright Wide Strap Sandals and Zara’s Track Sole Leather Sandals.

FLATS

A necessity no matter what the weather, flats prove to be reliable companions even in the face of rain. Keep humidity-induced sweat at bay with cut-out slingbacks like Charles & Keith’s, or take the weather straight on with a water-resistant pair.

SANDALS

Who says sandals are only made for the beach weather? Choose a water-resistant pair like Zara’s 100% polyutherane Crossover Strap Sandals or a flexible water-friendly flip-flop substitute. Freewaters’ tried and tested Tall Girl sandals are a more feminine take on their bestselling Tall Boy, and were made to withstand tough conditions while prioritizing comfort.

PLATFORMS

What better way to conquer puddles than to tower above them? Channel a little sporty edge while staying dry with a pair of flatforms from Mango or Stradivarius.
