It was raining in New York City today when I stepped out of the Penn Station subway stop and I immediately regretted the footwear I picked out for today: ballet flats that allowed the icy water from each puddle to slosh over the tops and into the shoe, soaking my socks and chilling my foot. Of course every other person I passed seemed to have been much more prepared (I was trying to forget about the waterbed I was walking shoes - almost any closed toe type will work as long as the platform extends from the toes to the heel and the platform is at least an inch in the front, 1.5 to 2 inches is better. It's simple: platforms instantly make you further away from the wet ground so the splashes have to reach higher to get to your feet. This all means you're more likely to stay dry. Look for rubber soles though, maybe with some traction, if your walking anywhere that could be slippery (wet leaves on the ground, etc). Falling on your face is bad, falling when you're wearing platforms is worse (further to fall, risk of a sprained ankle, etc) but falling in the rain while wearing platforms is the worst (think wet clothes like a mark of shame long after you've regained your composure).
If you can't live without wearing your ballet flats even after all this though, I understand. Just make sure to bring some extra socks.
