The Reviews Are In: These Are the 29 Best Waterproof Boots You Can Buy

When I think about the best boots in my wardrobe, a solid pair of waterproof boots ranks high on my list. It's this specific shoe silhouette that makes getting through unpredictable weather that much easier. After all, the thought of having to navigate through rain or snow with footwear that's not weather-resistant doesn't seem that desirable. So, with that in mind, I thought I'd do a deep dive through one of my favorite stores, Nordstrom, to uncover the absolute best waterproof boots out there if you're interested in adding a new pair to your arsenal.

To uncover the "best" styles, I scrolled through the review sections of a range of silhouettes and pulled out the boots that have positive reviews, with over four stars out of five. Keep scrolling to check out waterproof boots in a variety of styles that could be worth noting.

Reviewer Highlight: "I love these boots because they are really well-made, so they last for a very long time. The other reason why I love these boots is they are so stylish!! You can wear them with any outfit! I have these boots in green and black, and surprisingly, I wear my green boots more often because they match with a lot of my outfits."

Reviewer Highlight:  "These boots are really cute and so comfortable. I wear an 8.5, and the 8.5 fits just right." 

Reviewer Highlight:  "I love these boots. They’re super cute and comfy. They have a soft plush inside. Nice chunky bottom sole. So glad I purchased it! " 

Reviewer Highlight: "Extremely comfortable and unique. My new favorite boot for fall and winter." 

Reviewer Highlight: "Get it, you won't regret it." 

Reviewer Highlight: "These boots are beyond expectations!!! The fit, the leather and the quality are exceptional." 

Reviewer Highlight: "This is my first pair of Timberlands. I knew I needed a good quality pair of waterproof boots but wasn't sure which brand to go with. I stumbled across these and decided to try them on a whim, and I am so glad I did. It's durable and truly waterproof. I wear these boots almost every day now. Cannot recommend these enough." 

Reviewer Highlight: "Perfect fit. They are the most comfortable well-constructed boots. Super lightweight and beautiful." 

Reviewer Highlight: "Love everything about this boot. I bought the taupe suede. Its a great color addition to my fall wardrobe. The shoe is very comfortable. The heel is perfect, not too high, yet still stylish and versatile. Love that it’s pre-treated for wet conditions - a bonus in the Chicagoland area when the fall is always rainy! I’m really becoming a fan of Blondo. They make functional, stylish shoes, and go the extra mile with waterproofing."

Reviewer Highlight: "These funky colored boots do exactly what they are needed for—walking my dog in all weathers and seasons." 

Reviewer Highlight: "I was hesitant to buy these because I have 15” calves, but they fit great! The shoes themselves are very comfortable and wide in the toe box, and the calf part fits well and holds up without my legs spilling over the top. Tip for my fellow big calf girlies: wear compression socks with these boots! They help hold everything together and keep your circulation moving." 

Reviewer Highlight: "How do they do it? So stylish and so comfortable. All weather boots that look HOT." 

Reviewer Highlight: "I recently bought these boots and absolutely love them. I recommend these to everyone who wants a comfortable and stylish shoe for rain and snow!"

Reviewer Highlight: "Great fit. Comfortable boots, and they kept my feet dry in torrential rain." 

Reviewer Highlight: "These finally solved my big problem with cute rainboots, which is that they never fit over my calfs. These are totally adjustable and totally cute. 100% love and recommend." 

Reviewer Highlight: "These boots are super comfortable and very stylish. Honestly, I feel like a million bucks when I wear them. I agree that sizing up a half size is a good idea if you have wider feet, deal with bunion issues, or want to wear thicker socks." 

Reviewer Highlight: "Great twist on the classic rain boot. Classic yet more refined." 

Reviewer Highlight: "Love these. True to size. Classic black boot with the perfect amount of Western flair. The cherry on top, they are weatherproof!" 

Reviewer Highlight: "These are the perfect rain boots if you are not into the "rain boot" look. They're super comfy and have held up well. I highly recommend going half size up if you like to wear chunky socks with boots." 

Reviewer Highlight: "These were too short and too narrow for me. I am usually a 7.5 in regular shoes and an 8 in sneakers and boots, and I ordered the 8. The boots are of great quality and very attractive. I especially loved that they had a side zipper since most boots in this style are pull-on. I wished they had worked for me!" 

Reviewer Highlight: "I bought these for a recent European trip during the rainy season. I walked over 20,000 steps a day in these, and they were comfortable, even on old cobblestone streets." 

Editor Highlight: These don't have reviews yet, but they were too chic not to share.

Reviewer Highlight: "Such great boots. And waterproof. Very comfortable and beautiful. Love them!" 

Reviewer Highlight: "Love these boots. I purchased these boots in the Military Red a few days before Christmas because I knew we were supposed to have a decent amount of rain. Plus, red Hunters have been on my wish list for a while, and I thought it would be a great way to add some color to my outfits." 

Reviewer Highlight: "I’ve been on the hunt for a combat boot with a lug sole that was comfortable, not too heavy, and stood out from the rest. This is that boot. It’s VERY comfortable with the memory foam insole, and I can walk around all day in them without feeling fatigued or sore." 

Editor Highlight: A very fashion-girl pair of boots worth considering even without any reviews.

Reviewer Highlight: "These boots check all the boxes and are the winner after a long search for the perfect boots."
