April Showers may bring May flowers, but in Atlanta - you never know what the weather will bring.  Although we’re excited for the upcoming sandal season, it is always best to prepare against the war on precipitation. Whether you’re looking to tuck your skinny jeans into a pair of Hunter wellies or strap up some Chacos, now is the time to invest in footwear built for the season surrounded by water. Take a peek at our top picks for footwear that will keep you dry and comfortable -- rain or shine!

​Before you make any assumptions about a colorful pair of toe gloves, consider the reason that this city is nicknamed “Hotlanta”. Sure, they aren’t your typical rain shoes, but these Vibrams were expertly-designed with gripping soles and breathable mesh. We love recommending them to our customers because these are a water resistant shoe that lacks the bulk of a rain boot. After all, when it's hot and sticky out, the last thing you want to wear is a pair of heavy pair of winter rain boots. In addition, for all of our river rats, these are the best shoes on the market for watersports such as paddle boarding, kayaking, and boating. So whether you’re kayaking the Chattahoochee, cruising along Lake Allatoona, or simply just running errands in the rain, rest assured that Vibram are a summer staple for the Atlanta heat.

Oh, the beloved Chaco. The classic sport sandal is the summer uniform for many Atlanta residents. The company has loyal followers, lovingly referred to as the #ChacoNation. Their devoted fanbase is no surprise to us, considering the Chaco is a quintessential shoe for the outdoor enthusiast. Whether you’re hiking Stone Mountain, walking your dog around Piedmont Park, or just taking a casual walk along the Chattahoochee River, the Chaco sandal can be worn all-day, everyday. Best of all, the Spring 2017 collection offers a great variety of new colors and styles, so you can find the perfect fit for your feet. We recommend trying the Chaco Women’s Z/2 Classic, with a new print in a color perfect for a Georgia peach.

Let’s explore the Blundstone. It's hard to find classic, rugged work boots that also look great when there's work to be done. This boot is lean, clean and as straightforward as they get. It’s preferred among customers for it’s lightweight exterior. Why does Abbadabba’s love them? The boots simplicity goes with everything - jeans, pants, shorts, whatever the Atlanta weather brings! And while they have evolved in style, design, and technology over the years, their consistent quality is what keeps customers coming back. Blundstone is built to go anywhere, do anything, and look great every step of the way.

​The Hunter rain boot has been around forever - and there’s a simple reason why: the waterproof rubber makes for an easy clean up. Best of all, these boots are season-less! Regardless of the ever changing fashion industry trends, these boots are timeless and can be worn throughout every season of the year. So if you like a classic brand, good quality, and a stylish boot, the Hunter Original Short Gloss Rain Boot is perfect for some fashionable puddle stomping.

With the promise of April showers just around the corner, now is the best time to invest in some waterproof boots from Abbadabba’s. These top picks are only a glimpse into our variety of options and will help you strike the right balance between fashion and function.
