With all the qualities of a top contender, scoring well in comfort, traction, and style, the Kamik Heidi is a dream come true, especially because of the modest price tag. Coming in far cheaper than the competitive Hunter Original, the Kamik is the price of a typical low-top. Outfitted with high-quality tread and recyclable rubber, it is both flexible and fashionable. It scores almost as high as the top-rated models, with strong suits in comfort, traction, and style. 
The disadvantages of the Heidi are the relative lack of insulation and foot support when compared to others. Still, it's a worthwhile purchase if you're looking for a dependable mild-weather boot with obvious function and flare. It is a deal that is hard to beat.

If a rain boot can have a legacy, this rendition of the Hunter Original holds that seat. Hunter makes a few versions of this boot, but we particularly like this one due to its back adjustments, which change the tightness or looseness of the shaft. It ranks high in weather protection thanks to its adjustable mouth and tall flood height. This model also scores high in comfort, traction, and style. It truly has it all, especially if you're looking for something functional and sleek. 
The Hunter isn't very warm, but for many folks, warmth may not be a priority in more humid or warm climates. Plus, a nice pair of cozy socks can go a long way. The only true drawback of this boot is the price tag. Though, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for; so if you can shell out the cash, there's no question in our minds that this pair is of remarkable craftsmanship.

Close your eyes and imagine a rain boot. You're probably imagining something that looks exactly like the Baffin Enduro. With its tall 16.25" rubber shaft and a solidly lugged outsole, the Enduro will keep you warm and dry in even the wettest and worst conditions. Due to their large 17.5" circumference shaft, you can easily slip into and out of these boots, and their price to performance ratio is unbeatable.
The Enduro is uninsulated, so you'll want thick socks if you're in cold weather, and the included insoles aren't great, so if you are wearing these a lot, you'll be best served by a more structured insole. But once we dialed in our sock and insole game, we could cheerfully spend entire days wearing these boots. They even kept us comfortable during a 14+ hr workday. If you're looking for the best price and don't need the most deluxe insulated option, we'd highly recommend this boot.

Hunter boots have an iconic slim silhouette and style, so get them for that reason. But they also have the quality to back up their high price tag.

We tested 3 styles of Hunter boots in varying weather — here's what you should know about sizing, fit, and performance

Made of a single piece of waterproof EVA foam, these affordable boots are easy to put on and have good traction. If you find most traditional boots to be too heavy, they’re a lighter alternative, but they probably won’t last as long.
