When I used to think about rubber boots, four things came to mind: waterproof, clunky, ugly and no traction. Except for being 100% waterproof, these Arctic Sport Mid Muck Boots couldn’t be further from that notion. Not only do these boots fit well on my feet, but they have excellent traction — I don’t feel like I’m going to slip and slide while out walking my dog. Comfortable, easy to take on and off, and very warm, these boots have become my go-to pair as I head out the door. Comes with a dark rubber bottom with a choice of four colored uppers. Sizes include women’s 6-13. www.muckbootcompany.com The boot retails for $144.95. —Amber Pratt
