When it comes to rainy days, choosing the right pair of shoes can be tough.  Most of the girls we know will throw on a pair of Hunter’s for their walk through the elements, and take a pair of shoes to change into when they get to their final destination.  That is all fine and dandy if you are only going one place, but if you are planning on being in and out for the day, we have found a fantastic solution; Coastal Rain Skimmers ($69) by L.L. Bean.

Available in 5 colors, the Coastal Rain Skimmers are the perfect marriage of a rain boot and a simple flat.  The combination may sound like quite the odd couple, but L.L. Bean has merged the two seamlessly.  Speaking of seams, the patent leather upper of this shoe is seam sealed to keep the water out.  Pair that with a flexible rubber outsole, and your feet will stay nice and dry no matter how many puddles you have to cross.  While we are sure you are going to break out your favorite wellies as the weather gets colder, we can’t think of a better foul weather option than the Coastal Rain Skimmers for the next couple of months.
