If you’re planning to import rain boots for your brand, retail store, or distribution business, choosing the right type of boot is key to meeting your customer’s expectations. Based on manufacturing technique, there are two main categories of rain boots:
- Handmade Rubber Boots
Handmade rubber boots are crafted from natural rubber through several intricate processes: rubber refining, shaping, laminating, and vulcanizing.
Unlike mass-produced molded products, each rubber boot is slightly unique, adding an element of exclusivity and individuality to every pair.
✅Advantages:
Natural rubber is flexible, durable, and eco-friendly
Allows creative freedom: boots can be fully printed, embossed, or made into fun 3D character designs for kids
Soft and comfortable to wear, suitable for both kids and adults
Great for premium or fashion-conscious markets
If you’re looking for something distinctive and design-driven, handmade rubber boots are a great fit. At HALOBOOTIO, we specialize in OEM/ODM development for custom rubber boots.
- Injection Molded Boots (PVC, EVA, TPE, TPR)
Injection molded boots are manufactured by machines using materials like PVC, EVA, TPE, TPR, and other thermoplastics. These boots are made by injecting molten material into a mold, offering high efficiency and consistency in appearance.
✅ Advantages:
Cost-effective and fast to produce
Lightweight and recyclable (especially newer materials like TPE/TPR)
Colorful glitter finishes and printed linings add visual appeal
A hot-selling style: kids’PVC light-up boots that flash with every step – where there’s light, there’s laughter!
Although they have less flexibility in shape design compared to rubber boots, PVC boots still offer great commercial value and are ideal for mass market or promotional sales.
So, Which Rain Boot Should You Import?
That depends on your target market:
If you want custom, creative, or premium-quality boots → Choose handmade rubber boots
If you prefer affordable, colorful, and volume-friendly options → Go for injection molded PVC/EVA boots
For kids’ product lines → Consider adding light-up rain boots for maximum fun and shelf appeal
