When it rained....




....for about 15 minutes of the day..... I had to throw on the Equestrian  Rain Boots! 
And although they are so thick and inconvenient at times, I love the look of them. As for comfort I'd give it a 6/10. Because they are so tall, and the rubber is genuine and sturdy, it tends to trap my legs. But that's not to say I wouldn't invest in another pair of Burberry Rain boots. This particular style does not come in half sizes so rather than be so large, I went with an 8 instead of a 9. If these had a zipper in the back I would give it a 10/10. Burberry makes such classic items that I can't defame them, but I'm just being honest. 
If you are looking for something Versatile, I would go with a pair of Hunter boots that can be worn both in the rain and the snow. But then it begs the question of whether or not you would like to be more unique with a pair of Equestrian Burberry boots or less unique and go with the Hunters. And also something that is important to consider is a budget. Hunters are way more reasonably priced at approximately
$150 depending on the color/style/where you purchase it. The Burberry Equestrian rain boots are approximately $300.
Depending on where you live, Hunters may not be as popular, but I know that in NYC, they are extremely popular. When I used to walk up Columbus Circle, on rainy days, I would see about 7 people in a pair of Hunters, in the matter of 5 minutes. 
They have grips on the bottom which makes for such a Versatile boot. Unfortunately I was more concerned with style so I went with these. And now that I'm all the way in Albany, I will eventually have to invest in a pair of Hunter boots. Ehhh until then, I'll stick with my H&M trench and my Burberry boots!
