Make a splash

Mumbai’s cloudy skies and downpours shouldn’t dampen your style. Here’s our pick of footwear that’s fashion-forward and weather-appropriate

Retro throwback

Inspired by the retro scene, these sneakers are a must-have for fashion lovers. The lightweight sole ensures several hours of comfortable wear, while the contrasting colour combinations will make your feet stand out, for all the right reasons. The brand also wins points for being recyclable and vegan, while the vibrant tropical hues are playful and fresh.

Pint-sized pink

These boots are made for walking... and running and playing when worn by kids who really couldn’t care less about rain and slush. While the supporting footbed remains dry in the muddiest environments, the lightweight upper is made of flexible EVA that is also shock-absorbent and skin-friendly. Of course, the ergonomic sole and bright pink colour will make this a hit with the fussiest dresser.

Couture comfort

Just because it’s practical, it doesn’t necessarily mean that your monsoon footwear must be basic. These juttis, which are part of a capsule collection by Fizzy Goblet in collaboration with ace designer Rahul Mishra, have been handcrafted by artisans and feature the designer’s signature 3D embroidery.  The rubber soles lend a sense of sturdiness to these otherwise ephemeral designs that can easily pair with jeans and dresses. The sneakers are made of canvas and lined with leather.
