So far I have worn these boots through 3 particularly monsoon-like days in Chicago, much to the relative pleasure of my new pants. The seals appear to be very good - I've noticed no puckering or splitting at all. These are close-fitting in the calf for me, but I have full calves. It is actually close-fitting enough that I wouldn't wear them without pants (to disguise the slight bulge at the top). I am, however, able to fold over my pant leg and step into these boots with ease and they look fine.

Do order your normal shoe size, perhaps a half a size up. I wear 9.5s in dress/casual shoes, but 10s in sneakers. I got these in a 10 and they fit perfectly with a slightly thicker sock. I think that's about right for lightly-lined rain boots, as these are.

My only (mild) complaint is that the buckle on one of the boots won't stay buckled. Nothing a well-placed paper clip couldn't handle, and I'm sure the problem would be non-existent with skinnier calves.

In all, these are irreverantly cute rain boots that I am happy to pull on when the skies here turn gray and dull. A cute, sunny little option for an otherwise drab selection of inclement weather outerwear.

An update:

I noticed the seam at the back of the boot separated in Spring of 2010. I brought them to three different shoe/boot repair places and even searched for fix/repair ideas online, to no avail. My dad had a crack at it using epoxy and a few strips of rubber, but a few weeks later I wore them outside briefly and they cracked open again. So these boots were good for one season. Pity. :(

I had to return my first set, as my girlfriend's normal size was too small. These may run 1 size small.

Needed this boot in a certain size for Christmas. Could not find in local stores. Ordered on Amazon and received within 3 days before Christmas. Customer and recipient very happy with the boots. Great quality. Fun and bright design!
