Unless you're blessed by way of living in a year-round-sunshine location, chances are you'll encounter a downpour or two as you go about life. But you shouldn't let the rain stop you doing your thing. It's only water after all. To get out there and face the elements, you need an outfit that's ready for the rain, and it's good to start from the bottom up. Walking through water calls for the very best waterproof boots.

When shopping for footwear that you can rely on to keep those feet dry, there are a few key things to look out for. GORE-TEX is a big one. This breathable, wind- and water-proof fabric is the bee's knees of element-protecting apparel; a signifier for knowing that what you're wearing will do its job in all weather. Shoes with this stuff will usually repel rain in ways more superior than those without, so you'll spot a few GORE-TEX-boasting boots in our selection.

Read on for our selection of the best waterproof boots for men.
