Sustainable fashion label [Everlane](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everpuff) launches its first-ever rain boot collection to combat the wet weather conditions that come with the colder seasons. The inaugural footwear selection features five different colorways of rain boots that are designed to have a rugged appeal.

It translates through the sturdy sole construction and slips on similar to the design of a [Chelsea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jb-ander) boot. The tonal options include black, green, blush pink, bone white, and camel. All of the colorways boast a protective component in the form of a toe cap made using a black rubberized material. The elastic on the side and pull tab at the heel are also complete in black for a touch of contrast for most of the tonal options.
