We share many things in common with sweetie, but one thing that stands out is our mutual obsession with—you guessed it—shoes! Our beau’s collection virtually takes up an entire wall, and he’s just as picky as we are when it comes to keeping each of his acquisitions in mint condition. Alas, his rain boots are another story. While certainly practical, we can’t say that they’re the most stylish, and the prospect of finding a chicer pair seemed bleak. That is, until now. Meet Hawthorne, a waterproof rubber ankle boot that is tough enough for Mother Nature’s most virulent rainstorms. Equipped with durable hand-lasted rubber, ventilated Airmesh lining and an Aegis antimicrobial protected insole, these Bogs beauties are his rain boot dream come true!
