Shoes that will keep my feet dry in London

clownmitts · Nov 8, 2009

Hello gents,
I'm looking for a nice pair of shoes that will go with jeans that I can wear around in miserably rainy London weather. I'm open to all suggestions from casual to formal. The key to this question is that I should be able to wear them to work all day without looking too out of place (I'm in IT).
Thanks.

I really like the Clarks gore-tex shoes.

I wear mine through the rain no problems. The shoes kinda repel water too.

srsly tho

Aside from the Rain Chucks, I would look into some galoshes. Then you can have the best of both worlds

Ware2robokop? To the OP, plenty of boots you can wear once you waterproof them...

Bean boots.

Those all-star galoshes are awesome! Where can you buy them?

I've been browsing hanon-shop every now and then and once I came across goretex plimsolls. That's sort of the style I'm after if anyone can suggest where I could buy something similar.

Hmm, this might be the solution. I've got a pair of Crockett and Jones Tetburys that would to the job with a little waterproofing. What would you suggest I use?

Got 'em at UO for $80. LINK.

Also, they have completely black ones which are awesome.

I've seen those Converse in a store in Montreal - the only one that caught my eye as I don't really wear trainers. I stopped myself - would go with a great mustardish cowl half cardi I bought.

So (as converse intended) I just had a flashback to digging around in creekbeds for crayfish while wearing green rubber boots with yellow trim that I guess inspired those rubber chucks. Was there a brand that did those boots or was it just a generic style? All I can find online are hunter boots and I don't THINK that's what I was wearing at age 8.

Definitely full canvas only

Half canvas is fine

Really don't care

Depends on fabric

Depends on price
