jb martin boots--NYC
Oh, French shoes, how I love thee.
This French woman was staying stylish in the rain yesterday in these patent leather boots by JB Martin, a French brand that's really not so available in the USA.

They had great rubberized traction on the sole and were clearly more stylish than the big chunky rainboots that I and many other New Yorkers are wearing around in this flood.
I can find places that sell this brand everywhere from Canada to the Czech Republic to Norfolk Island in the South Pacific, but no such luck in the USA.
If the shoe doesn't fit, must we change the foot? --Gloria Steinem
