The Complete List of Waterproof Barefoot Shoes for Rain

I get asked EVERY DAY for waterproof barefoot shoes that are good for your feet. You see, traditional rain boots have a chunky heel that can really throw off your alignment and cause all kinds of issues in your body. But a completely flat and flexible rain boot is hard to find!

I’ve compiled a list of all the waterproof, water resistant, and rubber rain boots (for kids and adults) that meet my strict requirements for healthy footwear. Don’t let the weather keep you from getting outside! Read on for the full list of barefoot waterproof shoes below.

How to Waterproof Your Shoes

Before we get to the waterproof barefoot shoe options, let’s discuss ways you can make use of the shoes you have. Keep in mind that treating your shoes with a waterproofing agent can change the way they look. Leather often gets significantly darker with impregnating waxes and can even change in texture. While these products are usually very effective, a shoe spray is a better alternative if you don’t want to change the way your shoes look.

• Waterproofing Sno Seal – To be used on leather. Very effective, but DEFINITELY changes the leather (unless you are dealing with a glossy black to begin with).
• Nikwax Footwear Care – Nikwax has a variety of options for different types of shoes, including sprays
• Kiwi Protect-All Spray – Works on all materials, including vegan and fabrics
• Nano Tech Waterproof Leather Spray
• Waterproof Socks from Freet – Use code ANYASREVIEWS for 15% off your order from Freet. Interesting idea to keep your feet, but not your shoes, dry!
• Aquaseal – This is used to repair holes or seal up seams on your shoes!
