All About The Rainey Austin is a place where you can have a dozen different experiences in one day. From a Longhorn football game to eating barbecue in an 1800s German beerhall to hanging at the lake to gourmet dining from a food truck to two-stepping at a honky-tonk to hiphop dancing at the club to dive bar nightcaps to a 2:17am taquito run at Whataburger The Rainey is a zip-up ankle boot that's a fit for all of them. It's the perfect combo of classic and modern, stylish and comfortable. You'll look awesome and feel awesome from day to night, scenery change to scenery change. Common Questions How does The Rainey run? True to size. The Rainey's toe box runs a touch roomier than other shorties on the market — most customers stay in their everyday US size. Half down if you have high arches or narrow heels. Is The Rainey comfortable enough for all-day wear? It's our most-walked-in boot — 329 reviews and a 4.8-star average, with "most comfortable boots I've ever owned" as the single most-repeated phrase. Three to five wears to soften the shaft; after that, all-day capable. How do I break in The Rainey? Around the house first, then short outings — coffee shop, grocery run — for the first week. The Rainey breaks in faster than the tall shaft styles because the zip-up reduces ankle pressure. Don't soak them. How do I care for the leather? Wipe with a soft dry cloth between wears. Condition every couple of months with a neutral leather cream — not mink oil, which darkens the lighter colorways like Marfa in the 70s and Destination Nowhere Cream.
