The Complete List of Waterproof Barefoot Shoes for Rain

Updated August 2022

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.

• Aquaseal – This is used to repair holes or seal up seams on your shoes!
• Kiwi Protect-All Spray – Works on all materials, including vegan and fabrics
• Nano Tech Waterproof Leather Spray
• Neos Overshoe – This overshoe can be worn directly over your shoes to make them waterproof and slip-resistant.
• Nikwax Footwear Care – Nikwax has a variety of options for different types of shoes, including sprays
• Waterproof Socks from Freet – Use code ANYASREVIEWS-10 for 10% off your order from Freet. Interesting idea to keep your feet, but not your shoes, dry!
• 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).

Rain Boots for Adults

There are not too many barefoot rubber rain boot options yet, but here are a few good ones for adults. Fun fact, you can turn any rain boots into thermal ones with a boot liner! Consider sizing up in the Amazon ones for toe space.

• Women’s Asgard $35 (AMAZON) – Packable, affordable rubber boots that check all the boxes! Read my review here. You can also find them in a mid-calf version. I sized up one size for socks and a thin liner.
• Bisgaard $85 (women’s & kids) – These rubber boots are completely flat and flexible but a little difficult to find. US/Canadian customers can get them from Pedterra and use code ANYASREVIEWS, and the rest of the world can search for a retailer on Bisgaard’s website.
• Grundens $40-$140 – Multiple height zero drop options, but the toe box is tapered so consider sizing up for extra space.
