It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, The Gum Boots Are Calling

It’s Raining, It’s Pouring, The Gum Boots Are Calling

Man oh man am I glad to be living in Durban this winter! Here on the East Coast, it may rain all summer long (and then some), but I really feel for the poor folk in Cape Town with all that rain happening there at the moment! The one thing we can all be grateful for however, is the fact nowadays, we have stylish rain-ready footwear to keep us trendy while keeping us dry! To be perfectly honest, I think stylish rain boots, gum boots (or what ever you want to call them) are an absolute must in any wardrobe! And you don’t have to look like a farmer or construction worker either! There are so many stylish gum boots out there! My favourite gum boots are Hunters (of course) as well as the stylish new pairs from Crocs! I can’t decide which ones I love more, because I think both brands have such fab boots! My solution – get them both! I own both brands and love them all the same! I bought my Hunter boots last year when we had non stop rain and was given two pairs of Crocs Rainboots when I did the Rainboot shoot for Crocs a few months…

Make a Splash! We Heart the New CROCS Rain Boots & Wellies

Make a Splash! We Heart the New CROCS Rain Boots & Wellies

CROCS have just released their brand new rain-boots, perfect for our wet winters in South Africa. Together with some beautiful bloggers, we got to put these new boots to the test in a recent, and very wet, photo-shoot for Crocs in Cape Town! I’ll give you more details on that a little later (so keep an eye out for the pics), but for today, I wanted to share these amazing boots with you. The Wellie Rainboot is a traditional styled gum boot, that besides being super cool (it comes in six fabulous shades), is also extremely light! I tell you, when I tried these boots on, I was beyond impressed with how light they were! They are made from fully molded Croslite™ material that gives them this lightweight profile and they are completely waterproof. I own a pair of Hunter boots that I bought myself last year, and while they are fabulous and stylish, they are extremely heavy to wear, especially if you plan on staying in your shoes all day! The Wellie Raiboot, as mentioned comes in six beautiful colours, my favourite being the forrest navy, which is an army green and goes with everything. They are also available in mulberry (black), cranberry (red), espresso (brown), fuchsia/…
