Vegan Rain Boot Roundup!

As I was trudging to my morning ritual of soy-latte-and-seasame-bagel-with-tofu-cream-cheese at Think Coffee, I was splashed on by an oncoming car speeding through a puddle. We’re talking big puddle. Pond, even. Never mind the fact that I was already soaked due to this incredible downpour we have goin’ on in the Village on this not-so-fine morning :( After yelling (a bunch of obscenities) after the culprit, I took stock of my appearance. My feet were surprisingly dry, thanks to a recent purchase at Mooshoes.

For the conscientious vegan, here’s a rain boot roundup!

Ah, the fateful boots that saved me from being drenched by some (asshole) driver. These 100% waterproof boots are lined with a faux-fleece-type material, adding some extra warmth on those oh-so-cold winter days. I bought my Elite Yellows in-store at MooShoes, but they are available for online purchase as well in yellow, cherry, and black.

This pair of Jennifer boots, also available at MooShoes, is designed in Canada to be super-warm (hence the company name “ToeWarmer”). They also are 100 percent waterproof, with the added benefit of having a super-comfy and warm lining.

If you live near a Marc Jacobs store, you might be able to score a pair of $28 black rainboots with either pink, green, yellow, blue, or orange detailing.

The classic Hunter boot is free of animal products (read: completely made out of rubber). If you’re smart, you can order them on Amazon for half the price as Hunter’s online store.

In a related note, if you’ve been dying to get a pair of Uggs (read: for their warmth, not for their ugliness), you may be in luck. There’s a pair of faux-fleece warm fuzzies on Amazon. Be forewarned, they are not at all waterproof. BUT they make for perfect in-house slippers on those freezing cold winter days.
