Half the reason we hate rains is the destruction it wrecks upon our precious shoes, making it stinky and dirty with sludgy mud water of the streets. The icky feeling of wet feet cradled by even wetter shoes that squeak each time you take a step, almost like protesting in outrage over being dunked in water… yeah, we don’t fancy it either. Having a nice pair of water-resistant shoes in monsoon is as essential as finding the right pair of socks for your shoes. They not only provide the much-needed protection from moisture and rain, but also the necessary traction to avoid falls, skids, and slips. Luckily for you, we’ve made a list of fashionable alternatives to our non-rain women’s shoes:
- Casual ballerinas: Ballerinas are perhaps the most versatile shoes a girl can have. They go with almost everything in a wardrobe and makes you look chic and cute. For monsoons, you can wear ballerinas made of rubber or plastic. There are also foldable ballerinas that can be your substitute on the road for office heels. You can fit them conveniently in your bag. Buy these trendy women shoes online in a wide range of patterns.
- Casual Moccasins: if you’re into androgynous fashion, then moccasins are perfect for you. They’re classy, comfortable and look great even with Indian kurtis. For monsoons, choose one with a plastic or rubber sole and look just as stylish.
- Rubber sneakers: A sportier alternative to gumboots is rubber sneakers, which are making a splash in the Indian market. This is a waterproof take on a classic, and provides just the same level of comfort and traction as a regular sneaker. There are a lot of companies that manufacture really trendy rubber sneakers that are sneaky enough to not look like rubber.
- Wedges: When you want the oomph factor of heels but also comfort and protection from the rains, wedges are the smarter option to go with. They look comfortably chic, come in a myriad styles and protect you from those embarrassing falls across the floor or those tumbles over the stairs.
- Flip-flops: We don’t need to introduce flip-flops to you or even describe the many, many styles of fashionable flip-slops out there in the market. These are comfortable, strong and look great on kurtis and leggings. When paired with denims and a tee, flip-flops look stylishly trendy and the open air helps to dry out your feet without making it stink.
