【Workman】Walking in the park on rainy days has become enjoyable with the 1500 yen "Winter Light Rain Boots"

Due to the prolonged rain, it’s easy to avoid going out. Therefore, I wanted to go out without hesitation even on rainy days, so I tried wearing Workman’s "Winter Light Rain Boots." When I walked in a nearby park without avoiding puddles, I encountered scenes that I usually passed by without noticing.

Even on rainy days, I want to go out, and it would be nice to have boots that I can easily wear on such days…

I want to go out even on rainy days. However, when I think about getting my feet wet, I tend to think, “Maybe I’ll skip the walk today.” Until now, I had a pair of rain boots, but they were heavy and cumbersome to put on and take off, so I rarely wore them for walks.

That’s when I noticed the Workman "Winter Light Rain Boots." I was intrigued by the price of 1500 yen and its specs of being lightweight, waterproof, and cold-resistant, so I decided to give them a try.

The "Winter Light Rain Boots" were surprisingly light

When I tried them on, the first thing that amazed me was how light they were. Weighing one of them, I found it to be about 255g. There was none of the heavy, clunky feel typical of rain boots, and the flexible material made it easy to move my ankles.

The height from the sole to the opening is about 13.5cm, just enough to cover the ankles, and this shortness makes them easy to wear, allowing for a quick slip on. The ease of putting them on and taking them off was beyond my expectations; I can quickly put them on and off at the entrance.

The opening is not too big and doesn't feel loose, but I think the comfort while walking depends on personal preference.

The inside has a warm fleece lining, and I noticed that my feet started to feel pleasantly warm the moment I put them on. It suddenly became a bit chilly on rainy days, and during the upcoming season, having warmth will likely be helpful.

Compared to the waterproof sneakers I used to wear, I feel that they surpass them in both water resistance and lightness, making me think, "With these, I can wear them properly every time," and it seems like outings on rainy days will become enjoyable.

Walking without worrying about puddles changes the scenery you see.

I wore these boots and ventured to a nearby park while holding an umbrella. As I passed through the narrow alleys between the houses, I usually walked carefully, avoiding puddles, but today I could step straight through without worrying.

When I arrived at the park, there were indeed large puddles everywhere. It was an area where I hesitated to step in with sneakers. Since I was there, I decided to test out my "Winterlite Rain Boots" and stepped into various puddles of different sizes.

I walked through murky puddles with floating fallen leaves, as well as deeper ones, splashing without a care. Naturally, there was no sign of water seeping into the shoes at all. The performance below the ankles is indeed comparable to that of rubber boots.

Looking at the sole, it is densely etched with fine grooves. I came to understand that this is why there was no tendency to slip even on bricks. It is reassuring for walking on various surfaces in the city.

Just the fact that I didn’t have to avoid puddles made me naturally notice the fallen leaves and the greenery of the trees at my feet, which I usually just pass by. Even on a rainy day, the scenery encountered during a walk brings a sense of peace.

The park, with only the sound of raindrops falling on my umbrella echoing, was nearly empty of people, offering a tranquility that isn’t present on sunny days. I returned the same way I came, through the same narrow alley, and that concluded my walk for the day.

Walking on a rainy day has become a little more enjoyable

After finishing a light walk, I felt that the mindset of "giving up because it's raining" has slightly changed to "enjoying it because it's raining." Light, warm, and non-slip. Considering the price of 1500 yen for the "Winter Light Rain Boots," I thought it was a pair that makes you want to go out on rainy days.

As I walked, I glanced down at my feet and saw the entire brick pathway covered with colorful fallen leaves. Without such an opportunity, I might not have noticed that the season had changed and that the leaves had turned autumn colors. It was a scene that made me feel autumn by deliberately walking in the rain.

On the next rainy day, I plan to put on these boots at the entrance again and walk to a nearby park.
