Monsoons are almost here, and we cannot thank the heavens enough! But while we double down on the overdosing on chai and pakodas, we also need to prepare for the monsoons by stocking up on umbrellas, raincoats, appropriate footwear, and lots of patience while booking a cab. While we can't do much about the cab wait-time, we thought we'd help you out for footwear and make a list of the best monsoon-friendly footwear from our favourite brands!

Planet Paaduks

Planet Paaduks

Recently showing up on our radar, Paaduks is a quirky brand that does great contemporary footwear for both men and women. They have several categories and collections, including knitted, suede, sandals, and even monsoon. Their Monsoon collection is 100% handcrafted, made from up-cycled rubber, cork, and vegan leather. This collection is waterproof, while their Colours of Warmth collection is water-resistant.

Crocs

They have a cult following which is unmatched and we are one of them. We love the prints, the style, and the reliability of the brand, they are no doubt perfect for the monsoon too! For women, they have everything from clogs, sandals, flip-flops, to wedges and flats. Crocs are made of CrosliteTM, which is a proprietary resin material produced by Crocs, that gives each pair soft, lightweight, comfortable, non-marking and odour-resistant qualities, which are good for the monsoons!

Neeman's

Neeman's

Neeman's have been our recent favourite brand doing the most for the planet and our feet too. They have a sizeable collection of unisex shoes and slippers made of various materials, including recycled plastic bottles, wool, wood pulp, and more. Coming to their merino wool shoes, we think they're good for the monsoons since the shoes wick moisture, are odour-resistant, lightweight, and comfy.  Plus, the shoes need to absorb at least 30% of their weight in sweat to feel even slightly damp. This makes it better than cotton, which, when it gets wet, remains wet. It also dries much faster than cotton!

Westside

Westside

If you've ever stepped into a Westside store, we bet you've noticed their collection of shoes from Soleplay, a brand that does contemporary slides, sandals, and flip flops for both men and women. A lot of their shoes have an EVA sole, which is an elastomeric polymer that produces materials which is "rubber-like" in softness and flexibility, and best of all, is waterproof.

Decathlon

Decathlon

We love Decathlon for various reasons, and one of them has got to be their collection of shoes. You'll find everything from hiking, running, to trekking shoes from different reliable brands. For monsoons, while on the lookout out we came across Subea's aquatic shoes, which are made for water adventures, making them perfect for the monsoons too! (Obviously!)

Campus

You can't be smack dab in the middle of monsoons and not have a monsoon pair of running shoes. We think when it comes to running shoes (or school shoes), Campus has been doing well all these years. The shoes are good quality and meant to last you against all odds. They do shoes for men, women, and kids, across decent price ranges. What we love about their running shoes is that they all (almost) have an upper mesh that's perfect for not only breathability, but to wick away water too! 

LBB Picks: ANNIE Grey Women's Walking Shoes, GRIT Blue Women's Sneakers

Starting Price (approx.): INR 479

H&M

H&M needs no introduction, but just to remind you, this fast fashion brand has been making big waves all these years thanks to their chic, stylish, and modern apparel and shoes. When it comes to shoes, always expect the best of trends, styles, and cuts. They don't have a monsoon collection per se, but we spotted a bunch of sliders made of Polyurethane, a plastic material which is waterproof and resistant. They also have jelly shoes, the monsoon shoe trend that is literally everywhere on our social media!

LBB Picks: Perforated Leather Ballet Pumps, Jelly Fisherman Sandals

Starting Price (approx.): INR 1,499

CAI

We stumbled upon CAI when we were looking for flip-flops that we could take out of our home without feeling like we look totally laid-back. Their thong slides are super-comfortable and durable, mostly because they are made of lightweight EVA soles that provide walking-on-clouds comfort. Another perk is that they are exceptionally flexible, giving you freedom of movement to the max! Their entire monsoon collection is waterproof and washable, and is designed with top-notch wet surface traction.

LBB Picks: Biscuit Beige Thong Slides, Butter Yellow Flats

Starting Price (approx.): INR 1,699

Paragon

Paragon

The ultimate classics that we have relied on since childhood, Paragon is a brand you can trust even when it comes to buying footwear with water-friendly soles for monsoon. While their slippers are still better used for home or well, bathroom, what we love from their collection are clogs and slip-ons. Everything is mostly made of EVA, so you would not have to be cautious with random puddle-feet interactions!

Mochi Shoes

Mochi Shoes

Mochi Shoes has become a very relevant name in the footwear industry, and rightly so! Their range across categories is 10 on 10 cool, including the rainy-day one. The soles are anti-slippery and the materials are water-resistant, making all their casual slip-ons your go-to for the wet weather. Another thing we like about this brand is the diverse colour variety, making us spoilt for choice.
