 THE ROYAL TREATMENTHunter Original Wellington
We can almost see Prince William now, roaming the Balmoral heath in a pair of these Scottish
classics. Like the 1856 original, today's version sports a vulcanized rubber exterior and cozy cloth
interior, presenting no trouble when it comes to protecting your royal toes.
 THE RAKISH ONEArgyll Farming Wellington
Also made by Hunter, this mid-calf boot is more of a Prince Harry. It's shorter, sportier and, thanks to a
lower profile, a better choice if you think you'll need to outrun the paparazzi.
 THE PROTECTORMarc by Marc Jacobs Rubber Boots
True, these tallboys are not the only rubbers being sold at the Marc by Marc Jacobs store in Bucktown. But
they're the only ones that will do when it's your feet needing protection in a sudden rainstorm—and
after this weekend, they're going fast.
 THE ITALIAN WAYGucci Boot
You want to look good at all times, especially when you've decided to be a gentleman, wade through that
puddle and hail her the last cab in sight—which is precisely what Gucci envisioned you doing when it
produced its version of a classic rubber zip-up boot.
 THE DARK AND STORMYChooka Dueling Skulls Rain Boots
There are times when the weather turns your mood less gentlemanly. Those are the times when you need these
fashion-forward boots. The skulls say, "Clear a path," and the heavy-duty rubber says, "I really enjoy dry
feet."
