Waterproof shoes aren’t just boring rubber rain boots anymore. They come in all shapes and sizes and different designs, many of which look awesome with the outfits you’ve already chosen. With that in mind, we’ve come up with several different pairs for you to slip on and head out into the world with. There are plenty of different kinds of waterproof footwear that you can slide into and look great in without sacrificing functionality. We’ve chosen a few for you here.

Some of us may have resigned to lives of wet feet, saying something along of the lines of style isn’t function and I’d rather look good than not. I’ve been there, but as all innovation works out, new options have cropped up as the years have gone by and style and function can exist in the same item.

Below you’ll find themost stylish waterproof men’s shoes that’ll keep your feet dry and supported while allowing you to still put together an outfit that suits you.

The Perfect Waterproof Boot For the Hiker, The Shoveler, and the Person Who Walks To Work

Why We Picked It: Sometimes you want a snow boot that doesn’t scream snow boot. You want to be able to pair it with jeans or work pants without needing to change. That’s where the Vasque Men’s Snowblime Ultradry Insulated Snow Boot shines. They’re made from 100% waterproof leather, with a thick rubber sole and a mobber rubber heel kick. The upper part of the boot near the ankle is padded for extra insulation and comfort that prevents blisters. They’re warm enough to wear all winter long while also being durable enough for year round hikes and rainy days.

What Reviewers Say:These things are GREAT. Fit right out of the box. True to size for me (size 10.5 or 11 med depending on shoe brand). Very comfy with no break in needed. I took them on a moderately steep 6.5 miler on day one with no problem whatsoever. They proved comfy, waterproof and warm.”

The Raised Platform Shoe That Allow Your Feet To Breathe

Why We Picked It: When you want a shoe that is casual, comfortable and waterproof, this shoe from Skechers is the way to go. Made from 100% leather with a casual Moccasin-style toe stitching, these boots guarantee comfort with their gel-infused memory foam insole, padded tongue and ankle collar and shock-absorbing midsole. The raised rubber sole is both flexible and high traction for ease of movement on rough terrain, slippery slopes, icy streets, subway staircases and everything in between. Not only that but unlike most comparable winter boots, Skechers provides added comfort with the thoughtful addition of perforated side panels for warmth that breathes, so your feet aren’t wet from the outside and they aren’t sweaty on the inside.

What Reviewers Say: “I’ve been wearing these new boots for about 1 week now and I have to say, they are very comfortable. I bought my regular size 10.5 and they fit well, although a little wide, but that’s fine. The inner foam sole is very comfortable, plus they look really good too. I work in an office but frequently have to go out to agricultural fields and these boots are very adequate in both atmospheres. Very happy with my purchase. Would buy them again”

The Waterproof Boot That Is Indistinguishable From An Every Day Dress Shoe

Why We Picked It: Available in both a go-with-everything Black and a fashion forward Brown, these waterproof leather toe boots from Rockport are a must-have for any man who might ever get caught in the rain or snow. Constructed from 100% leather, these shoes are reinforced with hydro-shield construction, seal seaming, waterproof insoles and waxed laces that won’t hold onto to moisture. The heel height is approximately an inch and a quarter for a little extra height that doesn’t leave you feeling flat and unsupported and the thermoplastic slip resistant soles allow for added traction and comfort on icy sidewalks and slippery floors. The mid-cut boot comes up a little above the ankle for an added sense of style on par with everyone’s favorite Chelsea boot.
