Rainboots

I somehow feel like I've missed the boat on a latest trend I saw in full force at the mall this weekend. Rainboots as everyday footwear? I have definitely seen rainboots in the stores and in magazines, and I adore the cute patterns and fun colors. But I guess I didn't know people were wearing them all the time, as opposed to just for the functional purpose of keeping their tootsies dry. Maybe this is just a suburban trend to wear them at the mall, but it does remind me of the Ugg trend.

Have you seen this trend? Do you have a pair of rainboots? Do tell!
