Whether you do or not is another question)

The rubber boots trend here in NS seems to be a sort of NS/East Coast patriotism thing. Like "Hey, we're real and rustic and take pride in dressing for our wet and unpredictable climate rather than for impractical style!" People don't seem to wear them solely for fashion when the weather is nice, but the least bit of precipitation brings them out.
