We all wish we lived in a place where the weather is tropical with blue skies and where the sun is always shining, but let’s face it, most of us don’t live in that kind of paradise. If you live on campus and the only transportation you have is by foot, you are constantly debating on whether or not to even go to class. I know I did when I lived in South Carolina when it was raining. I mean is it really worth getting wet and then having to sit in the over air conditioned classrooms? Yea, sure there are umbrellas and rain jackets, but there always ends up being some part of you that the rain has managed to soak. But one thing is true about rain on college campuses and that is the popular rain boot trend. It seems like the more crazy the print the better.

“They are extremely popular on campus and I think they are useful because when you are walking across campus in the rain or post rain puddles it’s nice to not have soaking feet,” said University of Delaware student Laura Feliciano.

Feliciano said being a college student there is one thing she lacks and that is funding for her fashion wardrobe. So when choosing which rain boots she wanted her goal was to find something stylish but affordable. She purchased her rain boots from Target last year and said she has been nothing but satisfied.

Here are just a few of Target’s cute but inexpensive rain boot options running anywhere between $14.99-$31.99.

“Target’s rain boots serve their purpose and that is all I need rain boots for,” Feliciano said.

There is nothing that bothers me more than wet socks or the tip of my shoes getting damp from the grass or puddles so I believe the simple solution is to buy a pair of rain boots. They come in so many different styles and colors that you are almost guaranteed to find your perfect match.

For those of you college students who are working a part-time job while going to school to fund not only your bar tabs and social life, but your fashion wardrobe here are some slightly more expensive but popular rain boot options.
