Quality Rain Boots Are Important For Your Health In A Very Real Way

By Patty Goff


Having the right shoe for the right moment is vital. Many people wear rain boots to protect their feet against the wetness after and during raining seasons. They are higher and larger than normal shoes and some even go as high as the calves. Many of these boots have spats or gaiters that help to keep the water out.

They are normally worn after or during a rain storm where one wants to protect themselves again the mud and moisture. The general height for them is knee height but nowadays, shorter ones are also very common. Those that are specifically made for certain industries have reinforced toe areas for protection. Many industries will only allow their workers to wear these as it can also protect against chemical spills and also for hygiene purposes in food procession businesses.

These are still worn today especially in the molten metal foundries for protection. As they cover the ankles it helps to prevent any melted metal from getting caught inside the shoe which could cause very severe burns. Some chainsaw operators wear these as well as special chainsaw boots for added protection in case the blade comes into contact with the foot or ankle.

Goodman was more interested in the manufacture of tires so Hutchinson decided to buy the patent for manufacturing footwear instead. He then moved to his home country where nearly all the inhabitants at the time worked in fields wearing wooden clogs. Upon the introduction of these rubber models, they were instantly very popular as they kept the feet dry, clean and warm.

When World War 1 started the soldiers needed suitable footwear while walking in the muddy trenches and flooded areas. The rubber company at the time had to send in a request to the War Office so that a suitable boot could be made. This made the mills run day and night to fulfill the vast amount of quantities that were needed for the soldiers. Well over one million pairs where made all within a very short space of time.

A great boot that one can wear that is both very warm and waterproof is the Timberland Woman's Chillberg boot. It unfortunately only comes in black but will keep ones feet cozy with unbelievable comfort. They are a slide on moccasin toe and are synthetic fleece lined with a removable anti fatigue foot bed. The heights of the boot can vary depending on the size.

In Ireland they are normally black but some tend to be olive green. As there are many farms in the country most of the shoes have steel capped toes for protection against the machinery that are used. They have been called a few different names there as well but either topboot or waterboot are more commonly used.

Shoes such as these have been around for many years and to this day are still very popular. They can either be made from rubber or plastic. Their primary function is to keep the persons feet dry from water, rain as well as mud. Traditionally they are higher and made a little larger than normal shoes and can either be pulled on, zipped up or laced.
