MANILA, Philippines – The rainy season brings a refreshing respite from the summer heat, but also soggy socks and wet feet – not a good look if you’re running from class to class or commuting to and from work.

The good news: there’s actually a ton of cute boots in the market that are perfect for keeping your feet warm and dry as you trek through the city and the Philippines’ notorious storms.

These lifelong investments will carry you through your day-to-day, through your travels, and through the seasons.

Aigle has been known known for their hand-making their rubber boots in France since 1853, so you’re assured of their quality.

Among the rubber boots available on the market are the Aigle Macadames, which are perfect for taking from the streets to the office, as their double straps and matte metal buckles make them look like leather shoes. Aside from the knee-high original height (P11,990), these boots also come in low (P8,990) and mid (P10,990) heights.

Another Aigle pair we love is the Miss Marion, which can be folded up and packed compactly in bags for travel.

Aside from the two mentioned, Aigle has a lot of other styles to choose from, for men and kids too.

Still, if you’re looking for more boot options, brands like Columbia, Dr Martens, Hunter, Sperry also offer waterproof or water-resistant shoes. – Rappler.com
