Smoking Slippers, Boat Shoes… Can You Believe They’re Waterproof?

Doesn't it always seem like as soon as you walk out of the house in rain boots, the gray skies clear up immediately? We hate getting caught in the rain without the proper footwear but wearing big boots around all day for nothing is really just as horrible – no thanks!

For those who seek preparedness and style, Melissa has come out with some fail-proof options for fall '12 that won't leave you in the cold.

Already boasting a wide range of rubber flats and wedges, Melissa has just released a line that offers a pair of rain shoes for anyone (and any outfit), including rubberized versions of the shoes you already rely on, like smoking slippers, boat shoes, and super-cute sneakers, all available this fall.

In NYC this summer? Melissa is partnering with The Surf Lodge in Montauk to gift guests with different (rain-proof) shoes, throughout the summer.
