Women's Waterproof Booties

Is there anything more uncomfortable than wearing wet socks and footwear all day long? We think not. Avoid the splish-splash-squish routine with waterproof booties. We carry a wide selection of waterproof ankle boots to pair with all kinds of women’s clothing. So, whether you need a refined pair of ladies’ waterproof booties to match a suit for the office or slip-on waterproof ankle boots to pair with your favorite jeans, we’ve got you covered. Here’s the info you need to make the right choice.

Do You Need Water-Resistant or Waterproof Booties?
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat. Water-resistant booties are not the same as waterproof booties. Water-resistant fabrics will keep your feet dry for a short time when there's a light drizzle, but they’re not designed for impermeability. Waterproof booties, by contrast, are usually made from denser materials like rubber or neoprene and will keep your feet dry no matter how long you're out in the rain. 

Comfort is Everything
Generally, you’ll need the same size as you wear in other types of women’s ankle booties. Keep in mind that some of the best waterproof booties are sold only in full (not half) sizes. Just be sure to wear your waterproof rain booties with thicker socks than usual if you go up a half size. Do you want to make a standard pair of black waterproof booties feel more like women’s comfort booties? Swap out the insole that comes with them for cushioned orthotics. If the waterproof booties don’t have a removable insole, simply layer a thin orthotic insert on top instead. This trick is helpful if you require added arch support in your booties, too.
