We’ve talked about them before: rainboots. And with all the rain we’ve been getting in Boston, I was happy to find these Hunter boots on sale for $49.99 at The Tannery in Boston on the weekend. I love the beautiful rust colour and am surprised to have fit into a size 5! For rainboots, the snugger fit with a sock is perfect, so the heel doesn’t lift. This will be a welcome addition to my favourite Kate Spade pair, that is, when our furniture and belongings finally arrive (going on 3 weeks now, guys!).

What sort of rain footwear to you prefer?
$49.99?? Size 5?? I don’t know what I’m more surprised by
I love my Hunters. I have them in black but I do prefer them in color. Just received a pair of Timberland waterproof cowgirl-ish boots that I’ll be posting about soon. They’re less preppy so a great option when you need to dress up your rain gear but wellies are a staple.

Posted by Lee Oliveira | August 22, 2011, 10:10 amwow you got a great deal on these. I have a pair and love them. I need to get Ariyana a pair…she has outgrown her old pair.
Posted by STYLE'N | August 22, 2011, 10:48 amAre you serious?? That is an amazing deal!
Posted by Kristin | August 22, 2011, 12:23 pmoh, hunter boots… i just strolled in a shop to look @ fall boots last saturday + spied hunters- $145!!! $50 is an amazing deal!!
i also saw them on piperlime (for a little less) in a cheery yellow, which i loved, but i’d probably lean towards dependable black!
Posted by dawn | August 22, 2011, 2:30 pmWoah, great deal!
I just bought my first pair of rain boots this spring: a polka dot pair of Chookas that my daughter picked out because they match her Hello Kitty rain boots.
Love this color… but my boat-like feet would never squeeze into a 5!
Posted by Jen | August 22, 2011, 2:32 pmYou found HUNTER boots for $50?!?! JEALOUS!
Posted by Girlymama | August 22, 2011, 4:50 pmThose are lovely. I finally got rainboots last year I still can’t believe how much I wore them!
Did you see you can buy liners to wear them in winter?
Posted by All Things Chic | August 22, 2011, 4:52 pmHi All Things Chic, yes, I know there are liners for winter, but didn’t see any at the store at the time. Will have to go back!
Posted by Hogger | August 22, 2011, 5:33 pmOh, that is so unfair!
I wishing for a purple pair someday!
Posted by Stephanie | August 22, 2011, 8:40 pmGood find! I wish I could wear those but my calves are too big for them. Booo!
Posted by Lynnette | August 23, 2011, 1:47 amI have yet to buy a pair of rain boots, but I have always wanted a pair. I love the way they look!
I finally got to Banana Republic to see the Mad Men Collection
P.S. I am hosting a giveaway today you might want to check out!
Posted by Shawna | August 23, 2011, 2:10 amMan, when I think of how much I paid for my Hunters (From the Tannery) I want to cry in jealousy. They really are great rainboots though, and I worn mine in the winter and they do well in the snow.
Is it overkill to own a pair in grey and another in yellow? Cause the yellow is oh so tempting!
Posted by a stylized hysteria | August 26, 2011, 9:48 amhey Stylized Hysteria! I’d love a pair of yellow, such a great colour!
