# All-Star Galoshes The Converse Rubber Boots are Rad By Robyn Currie | Published 2009-11-05 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/converse-rubber-boots References: [uncrate](http://www.uncrate.com/men/style/shoes/converse-all-star-rain-boot/) & [urbanoutfitters](http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail) The worst part about rain (aside from ruining your hair, and having to deal with an umbrella) is that the shoes you have to wear are never very fashionable. The [Converse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-1) Rain Boot is out to solve all that. These bad boy galoshes are designed after their very own [Chuck Taylor All-Star high tops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chuck-taylor-2). They feature a lace-up front, and an all round [rubberized boot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dr-martens-1460-rain-boots) that is sure to keep your fragile feet from getting wet.
