It’s not fun to have wet feet, but wet feet you will get in Hong Kong’s rainy season unless you do like many before you, and rock the wellies.
To cater to this need, Hong Kong boasts perhaps more variety of rubber boots than anywhere else on the planet.
Want a pair in leopard print with a heel? Right away, ma’am! How about a pink ankle-high pair with a ribbon threaded through around the top? Coming right up, sir!
Any self-respecting fashionista knows that less is more when it comes to rain boots, but for those who just can’t bear to blend in, there is the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Lux Rubber Collection.
With a soft fleece lining and hidden wedge to give you comfort and elevation while maintaining the iconic All Star silhouette, these rubber boots on crack are also useful in a wet clubbing environment, when the glow-in-the-dark metallic paint “comes to life and shows a different side to the sneaker”.
The trainer-type-things are now available at the below Hong Kong stores for HKD699 a pop.
Where you can buy them:
- Shop 513, Hysan Place, Causeway Bay
- Shop 05-08, Level 8, Langham Place, Mong Kok
- Shop 515, Level 5, New Town Plaza Phase I, Shatin
