Why it's great: Standard Crocs aren't great rain shoes (they're made of holes!) but Crocs rain boots are made of the same material as their other shoes, just enclosed to be waterproof. This means they're way lighter than the standard pair of rain boots, and they're just as comfy as a regular pair of Crocs. Plus, no one will know you're wearing Crocs — until you brag about how awesome they are, that is!

Why it's great: Bogs were invented by farmers in Oregon, so they're serious waterproof boots.

You can also send them your lightly used boots to be donated to support outdoor education programs.
