The best reason we can think of for inclement weather is probably a change of wardrobe. Tank tops, flip flops and sunny weather can get boring, right?

So even if you’re going out in gloomy weather, our roundup of rubber boots might actually make you feel right as rain. Or at least keep your feet dry.

Classic rain boots in an unexpected, color, print or material.

Mary-Kate Olsen, o patron fashion saint of “derelicte” vintage glamour, we die for your suede Burberry wedge boots.  The perfect combo of ugly-cute (Hush Puppies come to mind), they’ll go perfect with the skinny jeans and leggings we’ll certainly be wearing all fall and winter.

The Burberry boots retail at around $795, which is serious retail indulgence.  Would Danny Tanner approve?  Enter the much more cost-effective Nine West “Jurra” boot.  The “Jurra” boots have a bit of a rustic attitude, as well as a price tag with fewer digits – score these wedge boots for just $99.
