Give It Up: Tough Rain Boots

It’s like these rain boots that pose as biker boots were custom made for Seattle.

By Laura Cassidy December 2, 2011

These are not stiff leather biker boots, these are Däv’s soft rubber, nicely lined waterproof rain boots.

Who gets it: Any female with feet. I’d say that more women ask me about rain boots than anything else (especially since these three pair where featured in our list of 77 stylish and practical Seattle essentials), but I’d be exaggerating. I wouldn’t be exaggerating a lot though. We ladies are fairly concerned with keeping our feet dry but not stupid looking.

Why: Däv’s rubber motorcycle-styled galoshes and lace-up equestrian-inspired models are not stupid-looking at all. They’re remarkably cool looking, actually. I mean, I wouldn’t get on a Harley in them or anything, but I wouldn’t get on a Harley anyway.

Paired with a pair of black jeans and a big comfortable sweater, on the other hand? Well, you’d really be on to something there. Or rather, the female with feet on your holiday shopping list would be on to something.

Where you’ll find it: Endless Knot in Belltown, for less than a $100.

Lace-up, ribbon-tied rain boots—for special occasions?
