In the 1850s, Hiram Hutchinson, a French footwear manufacturer, teamed up with Charles Goodyear to patent a rubber footwear product that would become an overnight success. Perhaps most logically, farmers and other laborers took advantage of the design of these technologically advanced shoes and traded in their wooden clogs for rubber boots. For farmers and laborers, more protection against the cold and wet weather signified a reduction in sickness and an increase in productivity. Thick soles and rounded toes made the boots a comfortable and pragmatic choice for use in daily work routines and that premise still holds with Boss rubber boots.

Since their inception, rain boots have accumulated quite the collection of nicknames as they have found their place in countries and cultures all across the world. South African and New Zealand natives refer to rain boots as "gumboots", a term which may have originated from nineteenth century gum diggers that adorned boots made from gum rubber. Older Australians refer to these boots as "Blucher boots" and "Gummies", while some elder Irish statesman have coined them "me topboots". Despite their name, rain boots have proven to be a practical and popular staple in the realm of footwear over the years. So do yourself and your feet a favor by protecting them from the wet and cold with Boss rubber boots.
