I've noticed that rather butch-styled gals often seem to enjoy wearing brightly colored and patterned, feminine Wellies style rain boots

meanwhile the most high femme, wearing-waterproof-full-face-makeup-in-a-downpour girly gals will strap on some duck boots made for stompin'

both of these aesthetic juxtapositions make my lil gay heart melt. that is all

Not a gay woman but genuine question: rain boot wearers of Lemmy how often do you actually use them?

I normally use water proof hiking boots and get along fine (I feel they're more versatile). Am I missing out? Is there a benefit I'm not seeing? It seems like a big commitment, surely they can't be very comfortable, how long are you normally outside before arriving at your destination. Is it just for yard work? If I am wrong please educate me.

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw anybody wearing rain boots? And I'm in and out of stores all day long when it's raining so I see a lot of people. Honestly around here I only ever really see children wearing rain boots now that I think about it.

But now I wanna see the cute rainboots she talked about. I'm missing out:(

I bought a pair recently for snow and rain. I live in a very wet climate and bike most places. I don't make a habit of looking at people's shoes but I did see another person wearing a pair earlier today. It may be a cultural thing, more common where I live than you do.

My rain boots and cape keep me mostly dry. I find they do better in puddles than my gortex boots. I've added a couple extra pairs of wool insoles to make them fit better when I'm not wearing huge socks. I find they're comfortable to walk in with this setup.

I literally never wear rain boots 😅. Probably because it never rains here. I do have some nice Docs and Solovairs for stompin’, though.
