You never want to hear those dreaded words: “I’m bored.” Well, no more! Wouldn’t it be nice to spend even more time taking advantage of every nice day at the cottage?

If you’re more of an indoor person, you can also get yourself set up for a movie night, or you can also kick back on the water instead in a very cool floatie.

Tackle rain and mud in these rubber boots picked by the Cottage Life team

The selection of rubber boots on the market these days has expanded far and beyond the simple wellies you wore as a child. Our team dug into their closets to bring you their favourite rubber boots—a combination of tall and ankle-height pairs that they turn to in times of inclement Canadian weather. A chic, Chelsea-style boot that can easily make the transition from the city to the cottage is popular with many of our editors, while others opt for lace-up rubber boots to keep their foot from coming out when they get stuck in the muck. What they all have in common though are practicality and durability, which is a must for cottage use.

Women's Ankle Rain Boots

“I love these short rubber boots with the hot pink sole—a little surprise, if you will, to brighten up a rainy day, and much cheerier than a typical black welly. And not too pricey, which is important given that I have a dog with a tendency to eat shoes that are left at the front door.”—Michelle Kelly, editor

Men's Wetland Boot

“I borrowed a similar pair of these boots from my friend Cole Fox. What I loved about them was the neoprene upper that allows your calves to breathe, and that they are fitted around the calf, which helps keep mud, etc. out of your boot.”—Megan McPhaden, managing editor

Cole’s Notes: “The neoprene makes the boot very comfortable to walk around in all day. It’s a great work boot that takes a lot of abuse. Lastly, it’s super warm. Even if your feet sweat or get wet, I find they still kept them warm.”
