The Best Quince Black Friday Sale Deals to Shop Every Day Until Cyber Monday

Winter is officially around the corner and I’m feeling conflicted in the footwear arena: Sure, I love the chic style and endless outfit possibilities boots offer, but most of the pairs I adore leave me with achy feet after a long day. As someone who tries to clock in at least 10k steps daily, I’m always hesitant to put away my beloved sneakers. But I think I’ve found a solution in the Clove Superboots ($170 ), which the brand describes as a “rain boot and sneaker in one.” Visually, it doesn’t fit the typical mold of either one, but its vegan leather upper paired with a soft, neoprene ankle cuff keeps me dry (and my shoes impressively clean) even in iffy weather.

What really sets these shoes apart, though, is their all-day comfort. Clove originally launched with sneakers for nurses, emphasizing airy cushioning and splash-proof materials that withstand unpredictable and demanding environments. (Side note: If you’re eying the Supercush Forte shoe, it’s similarly comfy but a touch stiffer.) However, these shoes serve far more than medical professionals: They’re also great for anyone who likes to move regularly and stay comfy.

Now here’s how the boots performed after a month of putting them through their paces.

First impressions

When I first unboxed my Clove Superboots, I had no idea how I’d style them. I managed to snag a pair right when the brand launched them, so I couldn’t look to content creators or ads for outfit inspo. The chunky, futuristic design and thick, cushioned midsole immediately stood out, making me wonder: Should I pair them with baggy jeans or let them shine with a pair of leggings? Thankfully, styling them turned out to be easier than expected—and, even better, they delivered comfort for extended wear.

Fit and feel

My first outing in the Superboots was to a concert at the Brooklyn Paramount—floor tickets meant we had hours of standing ahead of us. Despite crowded conditions and spilled drinks (which often means scuffed or stained shoes), I was unfazed; a quick wipe-down made the waterproof upper look good as new. Plus, the high stack of Supercush foam was a dream while I was on my feet for the evening. A friend who opted for western boots (adorable, yes—comfortable, no) texted me the next morning to complain about sore feet. Me? I felt great. (Sorry, Murphy!)

Despite their chunky aesthetic, the Superboots are surprisingly lightweight. The cushioned midsole feels like walking on clouds, while the neoprene ankle provides gentle, flexible support without any hint of pinching or rubbing. And the versatility extends beyond styling—whether I’m commuting on a rainy day, running errands, or standing for hours, these boots have held up nicely without sacrificing comfort.

Final thoughts

As I prepare for a cross-country move, I’ve had to think long and hard about which shoes make the cut in my already overpacked car. But there’s no question about whether I’m bringing the Superboots with me. Their cushioning, waterproofing, and versatile design have me sold. They now live by my front door because they’re in constant rotation. The zipper design is meant for easy on and off, but half of the time, I don’t even bother to unzip it because the material is stretchy enough to just slip my foot in. Honestly, I might need to get a pair in the “espresso” color next…
