Do You Wear Socks with Rain Boots?
This is a question we hear all the time and the answer is... it's up to you! Our rain boots are lined with neoprene to make them soft and cushy inside, so socks are not required for comfort. However, wearing socks from great brands like Lindner, Bonne Maison, and Lurex can make it a bit easier to slip your gumboots (Australia's word for 'rain boots'!) on and off - and add a bit of extra flair!
While any old sock will work for comfort, we find that pairing up a cute sock with your Bobbi rain boots is a quick and easy way to add personality to your outfit. The right sock can tone down a printed dress and your Bobbi Rain Boots in Beetroot, or act as a color bridge to marry your Bobbi Rain Boots in Pear Green with the rest of your outfit.
In the realm of wet-weather wear, the union of style and functionality often finds its perfect expression through the choice of fashion socks for rain boots. These aren't just your ordinary socks; they're a statement, a splash of color, and a personal touch to the often monochrome world of rainwear.
The right pair of fashion socks can transform your rain boots from a practical necessity into a cornerstone of your outfit, blending with the latest trends or providing a striking contrast that catches the eye. Whether you're navigating city streets on a rainy day or attending a muddy festival, incorporating fashion-forward socks into your rain boots not only ensures your feet stay warm and comfortable but also elevates your style game!
To help inspire your rain boot and sock personal style, we have rounded up some of our favorite rain boot and sock pairings; we’ve also included a list of some of our favorite spots to shop for excellent socks to spruce up any outfit.
Our Sock Suggestions
Lindner is an Australian family-owned sock company with heritage credibility. They started in a small town in Germany in 1921, then re-established the brand in Australia in 1987. You can read more about their history here.
Besides having a cool brand story, Lindner also makes very high-quality socks to wear with all your gumboots! Their merino wool socks are knitted using traditional techniques by 10th-generation sock makers. The breathability of natural fibres make these the perfect everyday sock to wear year-round with your everyday Bobbi rain boots!
If you prefer a bit of fun with your socks, we love the idea of adding a little detail at the top to peek out of your ankle boots. Check out these ones from Sportsgirl–worn with our classic Bobbi Black.
These floral beauties are from French label Bonne Maison, and with their mix of colors, are great for connecting the color of your Bobbi wellies to the rest of any outfit. They are also made with a thin weave and great for wearing with your Bobbi ankle gumboots on warmer days.
We love how shimmery Lurex socks pair with our Bobbi Rain Boots in Mustard Yellow & Black and our Bobbi Wellies in Alpine Green & Black! In both cases, the Lurex helps elevate our rain boots into a dressier shoe, making them perfect for any festivity.
Men need good socks, too! You can find everyday socks from AS Colour and come in a few different colorways. You can read more about the many ways for men to wear and enjoy our Bobbi rain boots in our handy Men's Style Guide.
Posisocks is a label from Australian Rules football player Trent Cotchin and his wife Brooke. Posisocks is all about spreading positivity and good vibes - a message we can get behind!
