Waterproof It

Best rainy weather shoes

Monday, 16 Jul 2012

Yes, Singapore: it’s either ridiculously hot or just gloomy and rainy.

But what’s a little torrential downpour when you’ve got super sleek and functional shoes that will keep those feet dry and happy?

Like wellies? We have both classic and stylista options. Can’t leave the house with flats on? Waterproof wedges are your answer.

Whatever you prefer, here’s your inspiration. Now brave the rain and make that lunch date!

For wellies that do the job, aren’t clunky, and hardly look like rubber, it has to be Burberry.

Leave those Repettos at home and slip on the original jelly flats in an incredibly versatile shade. We adore Melissa shoes – they’re cute, easy to upkeep, and extremely durable – we’ve been wearing ours for over 2 years now!

Be workwear-ready in these loafers with a twist. Yep, they’re 100% natural rubber.

Ditch those flip-flops and get classy with these Chloe jelly sandals! Your feet might get wet, but let’s put it this way – they’ll dry easily too. In a completely on-trend tangerine, too!

Animal-print lovers, here’s one for you. Fresh off the F/W 2012 runway, the Melissa Virtue is an updated take on the classic loafer.

The ever-classic Hunter somehow manages to make rain gear look super chic. Coveted by celebs everywhere and even the Queen herself! Time to step into the shoes of royalty.

For the ever glamorous-girls – these wedges may not match the sophistication of your Louboutins, but they’re fun, functional, and will not make you cower in the corner over a little puddle.
