Rubber boots
We are happy to wear beautiful shoes at any time of the year and in almost any weather. But when it is pouring rain outside, you have to forget about beauty for a while, being content with rubber boots that are not very presentable in appearance.
This season, designers decided to correct a fashionable injustice and created boots that have excellent water-repellent properties, but, despite this, look very stylish. These shoes are so liked by modern society that today they are worn even when there is not the slightest hint of rain outside.
Few people know that the forefathers of rubber shoes are the South American Indians, since it was they who first noticed that rubber helps protect feet from dirt and moisture. Later, the idea of using rubber in the shoe industry was adopted by the British, who also suffered from wet weather.
In Russia, rubber overshoes were worn exclusively by workers and professors, at least until the middle of the 20th century. Later, designers began to create more attractive models of boots for ladies. What models of rubber boots are popular today?
