Loewe's Transparent Storm Boot Brings Exhibitionism to Rainy Days
Loewe has unveiled the Storm boot, a see-through Wellington-style rain boot adorned with a large Loewe logo. This launch comes after Britain's warmest summer on record, featuring 33 days over 30°C and lawns turning a toasted hue. With the return of rain and revitalized greenery, the boot allows wearers to flaunt a pedicure while keeping their feet dry. The Wellington boot originated as a leather riding boot for the Duke of Wellington before evolving into rubber versions in the 19th century. For their Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez showcased a transparent pointed shoe that altered its appearance based on the sock worn. Now, for Autumn/Winter 2026, the concept has evolved for rainy days, enabling a stylish look without wet feet. The Loewe Storm boot is currently available for purchase.
