During monsoon the choice of proper footwear becomes crucial due to waterlogged roads and potholes. Waterproof boots or sturdy sandals offer safety from muddy puddles and unexpected downpours alike. They not only protect you but also make walking in the rain more comfortable and enjoyable. So, choose wisely and make sure your shoes are ready to handle whatever the rainy weather brings. Here’s a guide for you.
Flexible sole – Choose a kind of footwear which enables you to walk on different surfaces. If the sole is flexible, it will provide you with a good grip, preventing you from slipping.
Water-proof – Waterproof shoes do not easily get ruined by water and prevent shoe bites. They also prevent water from seeping inside and getting your socks soaked.
Safety and good grip – During monsoons choose footwear with a firm grip. This will help you to walk on waterlogged or muddy roads.
Open-ended footwear - These kinds of sandals are the best options during rainy days as they dry off easily.
Sandals with straps - These sandals with good soles provide maximum support to your feet while walking on wet surfaces and protect you from falling or getting your feet twisted.
