The monsoon season brings refreshing showers—and slippery roads, puddles, and damp socks. While most people shy away from leather during the rains, choosing the right leather footwear for monsoon can enhance both your comfort and style. At Haans, we believe that the weather shouldn’t compromise great design. With the right leather treatment, construction, and design, you can walk through Monsoon 2025 in confidence.

Here’s what you need to know to pick the best leather shoes for the rainy season—and why Haans has just the pair for you.

1. Opt for Treated Leather

Standard leather absorbs water easily, which can lead to stains, odor, and damage. But waterproof leather shoes are made using specially treated leather that resists moisture without losing breathability or flexibility. Look for full-grain or oil-pulled leather options that naturally repel water while maintaining that luxurious finish Haans is known for.

Haans Tip: Our pre-treated leathers offer a rich look and rain resistance—no compromise needed.

2. Prioritize Rubber Soles

A leather upper may look sharp, but the outsole matters just as much. For monsoon-ready footwear, always choose shoes with slip-resistant rubber soles. Rubber provides better grip on wet surfaces and prevents slips—a crucial feature for daily commutes in the rain.

Bonus: Haans designs often feature textured rubber soles that combine traction with sleek profiles.

3. Go for Closed Styles

Open-toed shoes or sandals may be tempting in humid weather, but they expose your feet to dirty water and mud. Opt for closed-toe options like loafers, Chelsea boots, or monk straps with minimal seams. The less stitching, the less chance for water to sneak in.

Haans Picks: Our leather loafers and lace-ups with stitched collars and cushioned insoles strike the perfect balance between rain protection and everyday style.

4. Choose Darker Shades

Light-colored leather can stain easily when exposed to rain or mud. For the monsoon season, go with darker tones like deep brown, burgundy, or classic black. These hide scuffs, water spots, and dust far better than lighter shades.

Haans Classic: Our espresso-toned moccasins and dark tan boots are rainy-day heroes in disguise.

5. Check the Inner Lining

A moisture-wicking or antimicrobial lining can make all the difference during the monsoon. Not only does it keep your feet dry, but it also prevents odor and bacterial buildup caused by humidity.

Haans Upgrade: All our monsoon-suitable footwear comes with breathable insoles and smooth, non-absorbent linings for a fresher step every time.
