Let’s be honest, photographers love spring just a little more than most people. Because, while everyone is delighted by the warmer temps and greenery, we run toward the light. But spring sunshine also brings rain, muddy fields, slithery creatures and unpredictability. Plus, it’s chilly! We need practical, weatherproof footwear to keep our tootsies warm and dry while we’re out hunting for that perfect shot. Oh, and we wanna look good.
That’s a tall order, but Click’s editors were up to the job. We’ve crowdsourced, scoured the interwebs and waded through the latest trends to create the perfect list of photo-worthy boots for photographers. You won’t find kitten heels or platforms on our list, but you will find functional boots that will have you just as comfy in front of the camera as behind the lens. Okay, maybe not, but at least your feet will be happy!
