Three Unique Kickin’ Combat Boots for Women

Combat boots for women can be kickin’ cool with unique designs that are both fashionable and useful. Back in the 80s and 90s, combat boots were clunky, chunky, and ginormous. Accidents happened, like treading on the toes of others, or getting tripped up in a bushel of tangled laces and huge soles.

Admittedly, I was all about those combat boots because they made me feel tall, confident, and cool. Even though I was the usual short, chubbed-out, acne-riddled teen.

These days, combat boots for women instill the same confidence and coolness, but these are less clunky and accident-prone. These combat boots are more unique with sleeker builds, handcrafted soles, and interesting designs for both the fashion-fabulous fanatics and the adventure-seekers.

The following three among this year's best combat boots are the shortlisted best in a line-up of ten.

Dr. Martens Women’s 1460 Victorian Print Lace Up Boot

I imagine these combat boots are the ones Catherine would have worn to peruse the moors with Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. Or, perhaps these are zombie butt-kicking boots that the Bennett sisters donned in the revamped version of Pride and Prejudice.

Each pair is decked out in Victorian patterns.

Think vintage roses in cream and pink with light green vines and leaves on a backdrop of black.

The exterior is reliable, durable, protected fabric, whereas the exterior is padded and comfortable with insoles that contour to hug your feet.

Sorel Slimboot Lace Women’s Boot

Steampunk chic, totally.

These combat boots are desert-cool with a rugged, dusty exterior that features a knit liner, wrap-around straps, and a slim fit to your ankles.

Snug but comfortable.

The cushioned foot beds are supportive on the interior, extending to exterior soles of heavy-duty, water-resistant leather.

Bonus fact – Sorel uses an awesome Polar Bear emblem for their brand name.

____________________________

Taos Women’s Crave Boot

Close to classic, these combat boots are slimmer than the goth-y footwear of the 80s and 90s.

Each boot is equipped with tight laces and a side zipper, both for optimum, adjustable comfort and snugness.

Of course, these comes in traditional black leather, but the wedge heels are composed of brown wood and suede.

The padded insoles are removable and supportive with padding to hug your feet, especially around the heel and arches (where support counts the most). I think of witchy costumes and gothic dresses, but you really could wear these cool boots with anything.

The Best All Purpose Rain Boots for Adventurous Women

When perusing the seemingly endless selection of women's rain boots, you have to keep in mind the spectrum of amazing features that you want in weather-friendly footwear. Of course, you would expect complete waterproofing in a good pair of rain boots, but the best of the best (in my opinion) are all-purpose for those adventurous gals in our midst.

Adventurous might mean something different to you than it does to other rain boot lovers. For instance, where one brave chick wants to hike a few snowy mountain trails, you might find adventure happens in your own backyard, trekking through puddles after a particularly bountiful rainstorm.

Going from my idea of adventure, I have handpicked three of the best all-purpose rain boots to meet the needs of everyday women.

_________________________________

Sorel Joan of Arctic Women’s Boot

I often take a winter wear cue from Eskimos because of their bundled up and beautiful look. These boots, cleverly named Joan of Arctic, have the appearance of being SUPER warm before you even slide your feet inside.

The faux fur lining along the top leads to a comfortable interior of snug padding to keep your toes toasty through the coldest of winter walks.

Laces and buckles are high with pull straps for slide-on convenience, plus gripping treads on the boot soles. No words could express how much I absolutely LOVE these rain boots. Must-haves definitely!

Sperry Top-Sider Saltwater Women’s Rain Boot

The fact that these rain boots are waterproof is a big DUH—however, their level of waterproofing is superior because of the all-purpose moisture seals around the base and top of each boot.

For adventurous gals with a love of hiking or simply trekking through the great outdoors in all kinds of weather, inclement or otherwise, these boots are ankle-length with raw leather laces, half zippers, and pull-tab tongues for optimum comfort.

Talk about convenience for outdoorsy beauties!

Hunter Women’s Original Glass Rain Boot

Classic and one of the top picks for women who love a reliable, long-lasting rain boot, this year-around footwear puts a modern spin on a traditional concept. Sure, you have the look and gloss of classic rain boots, but there is the contemporary elements of sturdier sole treads and side pull-up tabs.

The color is black—a glossy hue that goes with everything, making it a stylish, sleek choice for everyday wear. Great for puddle-jumping when your inner child wants to frolic in the rain.

3 Rain Boots for Women with Kick in 2015

Weather has become oh-so unpredictable most everywhere, which definitely dictates what kind of shoes you wear throughout the year. For days when the skies are grey and cloudy, while the ground is mushy, muddy, and puddled, there are a trio of the best rain boots for women.

However, these rain boots are more than simple apparel for the fashionable chick. These boots are the go-to, must-have for women with savage kick, independent determination, and a flourishing artistic side.

Instead of allowing this shoe wear to define your outfit, allow yourself to define the shoes. Make people say, “WOW – those boots are perfect for her! They bring out her personality like VAVOOM!”

The 3 rain boots that I have hand-picked to make the most fabulous, comfortable impression are –

______________________________

Hunter Original Tour Women’s Rain Boot

Available in loads of beautiful colors – my favorite would be the red – these boots are extra-durable for extra-watery afternoons treading through extra-muddy puddles. They are awesome for anytime rainfalls, but they begin to seep if you stand in one puddle for too long. As walking around rain boots, these are top-notch, though!

Where some rain boots are heavy and way too clomp-ish for fashion-fab ladies, these boots are lightweight, yet surprisingly well-constructed, to handle less-than-great weather. The smooth, matte finish is waterproof, and these would look kick-ass over a pair of sleek jeans or leggings.

______________________________

Women’s Hunter Original Short Gloss Boot

Another Hunter Original that I positively adore – these rain boots offer true-to-size fit in a short stature.

Coming up to around mid-shin, these boots are lined with comfortable interior materials to keep your feet snug, cozy, and dry.

They are available in an array of awesome colors, but I prefer the glossy black, because it basically goes with absolutely everything in my closet.

______________________________

Sperry Top-Sider Women’s Shearwater Boot

For chick-a-dees who love a shorter, snugger look and feel for their rain boots – these shoes, at first glance, don’t even look like classic rain boots. They actually look like a chic alternative – maybe a little sensuous, and witchy in a sexy way.

The shaft is shorter than classic rain boots, while the toe is “ducky,” extending outwards like a stylish bill. Available in mostly black, these boots were designed with warmth in mind, as the fleece interior keeps your toes dry, comfortable, and totally warm. Plus, the durable, rubber exterior adds a glossy shine to accentuate your most flattering ensemble.
