Blundstones. I live in a coastal city that's wet (but rarely snowy) the vast majority of the year. Having rain-resistant shoes that are comfortable AND durable has been a game changer.

And if I can mention a second: A proper, long raincoat. Combined with good shoes, I'm able to tolerate the weather here much better than when I'd first moved to this city and relied on sneakers + regular jackets.

Experience has shown me that you'll care far less about your jeans or shirt being wet, but having your feet or your head wet will drive you nuts.

Absolutely. Good shoes, a good rain jacket, and switching from glasses to contacts made a world of difference for me!
