A fab reader asked for rain boot options for tall, athletic legs. While such gams are quick to illicit envy they are rather difficult to sheathe in boots.

So here are some options with 15-17 inch boot shaft circumferences to keep you dry and you do not even have to sacrifice style!

These boots combine a wide shaft (15 1/2in!) and adjustable lacing! Plus Timberland was my go to boot for college in New England – I can vouch!

Timberland Wellfleet 14 – Zappos $85

This is your classic “galoshes” silhouette but with very adult options for colors and patterns. The wide calf circumference can be adjusted with the buckle.
