Hunter rain boots that stand out from the crowd
When the weather in New York City involves any sort of precipitation, it's hard to open an umbrella without hitting a pair of Hunter boots on the sidewalks, my own chocolate brown pair included. In fact the waterproof wellies are so ubiquitous in my neighborhood, I have often wondered if they sponsor rainy days.

So how to stick out in a sea of Hunters? Order up a pair of their new lace-up style!
The Verbier boot  features an 80mm wedge, a brand new idea for Hunter, which, if you didn't know, supplies waterproof footwear to the Royal Family (well, excuse me!). If you're vertically-challenged like I am, then extra height is always appreciated--even if it is cats and dogs outside.

The laces are non-functioning, so slipping-on/slipping-off is still a cinch. Hunter even throws in an extra pair--one matching and one contrasting--for more style options. Rainy days have never been so chic. -Melissa

Find the new Verbier boot in lots of colors and styles online at Hunter boots or at Zappos.
