When I think about the best boots in my wardrobe, a solid pair of waterproof boots ranks high on my list. It’s this specific shoe silhouette that makes getting through unpredictable weather that much easier. After all, the thought of having to navigate through rain or snow with footwear that’s not weather resistant doesn’t seem that desirable. So with that in mind, I thought I’d do a deep dive through one of my favorite stores, Nordstrom, to uncover the absolute best waterproof boots out there if you’re interested in adding a new pair to your arsenal.
To uncover the “best” styles, I scrolled through the review sections of a range of silhouettes and pulled out the boots that have positive reviews, with over four stars out of five. Keep scrolling to check out waterproof boots in a variety of styles that could be worth noting.

“This is my first pair of Timberlands. I knew I needed a good quality pair of waterproof boots but wasn’t sure which brand to go with. I stumbled across these and decided to try them on a whim, and I am so glad I did. It’s durable and truly waterproof. I wear these boots almost every day now. Cannot recommend these enough.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Woden
Magda Track Waterproof Boot

“Perfect fit. They are the most comfortable well constructed boots. Super lightweight and beautiful.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Blondo
Sadie Waterproof Bootie
$150
“Love everything about this boot. I bought the taupe suede. Its a great color addition to my fall wardrobe. The shoe is very comfortable. The heel is perfect, not too high, yet still stylish and versatile. Love that it’s pre-treated for wet conditions – a bonus in the Chicagoland area when the fall is always rainy! I’m really becoming a fan of Blondo. They make functional, stylish shoes, and go the extra mile with waterproofing.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Hunter
Refined Chelsea Boot
$165
“These funky colored boots do exactly what they are needed for—walking my dog in all weathers and seasons.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Blondo
Rouse Waterproof Knee High Boot
$200
$110
“I was hesitant to buy these because I have 15” calves, but they fit great! The shoes themselves are very comfortable and wide in the toe box, and the calf part fit well and held up without my legs spilling over the top. Tip for my fellow big calf girlies: wear compression socks with these boots! They help hold everything together and keep your circulation moving.” — Nordstrom reviewer

Ugg
Ashton Waterproof Chelsea Boot
$160
“These boots are super comfortable and very stylish. Honestly, I feel like a million bucks when I wear them. I agree that sizing up a half size is a good idea if you have wider feet, deal with bunion issues, or want to wear thicker socks.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Hunter
Refined Stitch Fleece Lined Boot
$225
“Great twist on the classic rain boot. Classic yet more refined.” — Nordstrom reviewer
Blondo

Jeffrey Campbell
Cloudy Waterproof Chelsea Rain Boots

Geox
Iridea Amphibiox Waterproof Chelsea Boot
$220
“These were too short and too narrow for me. I am usually a 7.5 in regular shoes and an 8 in sneakers and boots, and I ordered the 8. The boots are great quality and very attractive. I especially loved that they had a side zipper since most boots in this style are pull-on. I wished they had worked for me!” — Nordstrom reviewer

“I bought these for a recent European trip during the rainy season. I walked over 20,000 steps a day in these, and they were comfortable, even on old cobblestone streets.” — Nordstrom reviewer

La Canadienne
Cody Bootie
$598
“I’ve been on the hunt for a combat boot with a lug sole that was comfortable, not too heavy and stood out from the rest. This is that boot. It’s VERY comfortable with the memory foam insole and I can walk around all day in them without feeling fatigued or sore.” — Nordstrom reviewer
