This year was different. I made the trip to the HUNTER flagship store in Ginza and actually bought a proper pair of men&#8217;s rain boots.<\/p>\n<p>I wore them on a rainy day, and they were even better than expected. They worked fine with a suit, and my feet stayed completely dry.<\/p>\n<p>This article ranks men&#8217;s rain boots from budget to high-end, with HUNTER as the backbone based on my own purchase experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>[Disclaimer]<\/strong><br \/>\nThis ranking is based entirely on personal opinion.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I visited the HUNTER flagship store in Ginza. The store had everything on display \u2014 from chelsea styles to tall boots \u2014 and you can try them all on.<\/p>\n<p>I went with the &#8220;Men&#8217;s Original Neoprene Chelsea Boot &#8211; Black.&#8221; Ankle height, matte black finish, The pull tab is solid black, and the neoprene wraps around the ankle opening in a U-shaped structure.<\/p>\n<p>Pricey, but seeing the quality in person makes it easy to understand why.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pro_%E2%91%A0%EF%BD%9CWore_Them_in_the_Rain_%E2%80%94_Feet_Stayed_Completely_Dry\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pro_%E2%91%A0%EF%BD%9CWore_Them_in_the_Rain_%E2%80%94_Feet_Stayed_Completely_Dry\"><\/span>Pro \u2460\uff5cWore Them in the Rain \u2014 Feet Stayed Completely Dry<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>I actually wore these on a rainy day. My socks didn&#8217;t get wet at all.<\/p>\n<p>The neoprene material has a soft, flexible feel, and the ankle fit is snug enough that water simply can&#8217;t get in. I expected rain boots to feel stuffy, but neoprene moves more naturally than regular rubber \u2014 no discomfort walking around.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pro_%E2%91%A1%EF%BD%9CLooked_Fine_with_a_Suit\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pro_%E2%91%A1%EF%BD%9CLooked_Fine_with_a_Suit\"><\/span>Pro \u2461\uff5cLooked Fine with a Suit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The chelsea silhouette is clean. Unlike tall rain boots, only the ankle is visible below your trousers. I wore these with a suit and it looked completely normal.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to ditch the &#8220;rain boot look,&#8221; the chelsea style is the way to go.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Con_%E2%91%A0%EF%BD%9CMight_Get_Hot_in_Summer\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Con_%E2%91%A0%EF%BD%9CMight_Get_Hot_in_Summer\"><\/span>Con \u2460\uff5cMight Get Hot in Summer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Neoprene retains heat.

Do HUNTER rain boots look good on men?<\/strong><br \/>\nAbsolutely. The chelsea silhouette is clean and works with suits. The &#8220;rain boot look&#8221; is barely there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Chelsea style or tall boots \u2014 which is more practical?<\/strong><br \/>\nChelsea, easily, for city use. Easy on and off, pairs with anything. Tall boots are for environments where water goes above the ankle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. How do I pick the right size?<\/strong><br \/>\nUsually the same size as your sneakers works. If you plan to wear thick socks, go half a size up. Try them on in-store whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Do rain boots need maintenance?<\/strong><br \/>\nBarely anything. Rinse with water after use, dry in the shade. Avoid direct sunlight \u2014 it degrades the material.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For men who prioritize style, HUNTER&#8217;s neoprene chelsea boot is the top pick for the rainy season.
