Rain boots
Advancements in the rubber industry came during the 19th century when Charles Goodyear invented the vulcanization process (adding sulfur at high temperature). Rubber became more durable and water-resistant–so it was obvious to make protective boots out of the material. Today, many designer companies take the standard model of rubber rain boots and make them bright and fashionable. Plus, rubber doesn’t require any animals to be harmed.
