Quality Rain Boots Are Important For Your Health In A Very Real Way

By Patty Goff


Variety is one of the huge benefits of variable fashion for all seasons. There are so many different styles of rain boots available, that in some cases they do not even look like they resemble their name. They however do still have one thing in common and that is that they are made out of rubber. They can either be long or short depending on the wearer's preference.

They are normally worn after or during a rain storm where one wants to protect themselves again the mud and moisture. The general height for them is knee height but nowadays, shorter ones are also very common. Those that are specifically made for certain industries have reinforced toe areas for protection. Many industries will only allow their workers to wear these as it can also protect against chemical spills and also for hygiene purposes in food procession businesses.

These are still worn today especially in the molten metal foundries for protection. As they cover the ankles it helps to prevent any melted metal from getting caught inside the shoe which could cause very severe burns. Some chainsaw operators wear these as well as special chainsaw boots for added protection in case the blade comes into contact with the foot or ankle.

Gaiters come in different lengths either high cut or low cut. The high cuts reach the top of the calf and are perfect for walking in thick bushes or tall grassy terrains. These are considered to have the best protection against rain, snow and even puddles. They are a bit more expensive and do not have a very good ventilation system.

When World War 1 started the soldiers needed suitable footwear while walking in the muddy trenches and flooded areas. The rubber company at the time had to send in a request to the War Office so that a suitable boot could be made. This made the mills run day and night to fulfill the vast amount of quantities that were needed for the soldiers. Well over one million pairs where made all within a very short space of time.

A great boot that one can wear that is both very warm and waterproof is the Timberland Woman's Chillberg boot. It unfortunately only comes in black but will keep ones feet cozy with unbelievable comfort. They are a slide on moccasin toe and are synthetic fleece lined with a removable anti fatigue foot bed. The heights of the boot can vary depending on the size.

Gore-Tex is 100% waterproof and very light. It is a breathable membrane that is laminated either on one side or both sides to any fabric and is water and wind proof. It is guaranteed to prevent dirt, oil and any stains from sticking to the surface. It is made from Polytetrafluoroethelene and each pore is millions of times smaller than a drop of water.

Shoes such as these have been around for many years and to this day are still very popular. They can either be made from rubber or plastic. Their primary function is to keep the persons feet dry from water, rain as well as mud. Traditionally they are higher and made a little larger than normal shoes and can either be pulled on, zipped up or laced.
