When we think of Christian Louboutin, rain boots aren’t the first shoes that come to mind. The infamous red soles are known for their impossibly high stilettoes and silhouettes that prioritize seduction over comfort.
In recent seasons, Louboutin has been diversifying his collection to offer more wearable and casual shoes. Whether it’s ankle boots or sneakers, you don’t have to step into six-inch heels to enjoy the perks of a red bottom sole.
It should have come as no surprise when Louboutin unveiled their new ‘Loubirain’ boots. Not only do we think the pun is fabulous, but it also shows that rain boots can be fun and stylish.
You can check them out at Mytheresa, Nordstrom, Matches Fashion, Net-A-Porter, and Saks Fifth Avenue.
Meet the Loubirain boots
With their 70mm heel and PVC finish, the Loubirain boots are the latest style to be added to the Louboutin collection.
The block heels are an unexpectedly comfortable option in the Louboutin lineup, making them a staple in the autumn and winter collection of fashionistas.

You can expect to see all your favorite influencers and celebrities rocking the Loubirain boots when the colder weather hits.
Available in neutral shades and quirky pastels, the Loubirain boots take your classic rain boots and give them a glamorous update. The water-resistant PVC is practical and chic, giving your closet a modern streetwear look that is still timelessly Louboutin.
Like every pair of Louboutin shoes, you also get the classic signature red sole that will have you looking forward to rainy days. You can add the Loubirain boots to your collection in sleek patent black, red, sky blue, or bubblegum pink.

These rain boots have an unexpected twist with a signature Louboutin spike appearing under the rear loop of the boots for an edgy finish.
The urban tapered lines and chic 70mm heels are easy to style and designed with wearability and practicality in mind.
