# Rebellious Raingear Chooka Rain Boots By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2008-05-07 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edgy-rainwear-chooka-rain-boots References: [trendsnow.net](http://www.trendsnow.net/thetrendygirl/2008/05/rain-boots.html) & [chookaboot](http://www.chookaboot.com/rainboots1.html) Chooka rain boots are fabulously fashionable, edgy, rebellious but very feminine. With names such as Tattoo City, Rock N' Roll, and Love Hurts, the patterns on the [knee-high rubber boots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterproof-rubber-boot) range from sedate, [nautical-themed prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beavertown-brewery-collection) to edgy [skull and bones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foam-clogs-1) and tattoo graphics and motifs. I really like these boots, but I think I'd go with one of the more sedate patterns. No skulls and bones for me. **Implications** - In Western society today, individuals place great importance on being able to express their unique personalities amongst their peers.
