I was looking for an inexpensive pair of rain boots recently due to the fact that I ride a bus to and from work every day. On cold, wet days no one likes to stand outside with wet feet... and then go sit in the office with cold wet feet. That kind of thing can ruin your day.

I was extremely surprised and delighted to get this pair for Christmas, and after trying them on I am even more delighted. The rubber is thick and appears to be durable, though obviously only time will tell if the durability assessment is true. They look great on and are wide enough to accommodate my pant legs so that the legs don't get wet either. I actually have to pull them all the way closed even with my pant legs inside due to having slender calves. I point this out because they have a good three to four inches of room left when fully expanded and could accommodate a large range of calf sizes.

As far as sole/shoe size goes, they run a little large, which is due in part to the width. My nines fit just about the same way my 9.5 running shoes do, lengthwise. But,they are definitely wide. I didn't send them back because well, most rain boots I have tried are wide and what are you going to do if you have narrow feet? I wore thick socks with them and that seemed to do the trick.

Over all, they are great. Comfortable, flexible and dry if you can handle the extra width or happen to need the extra width. I've only worn them once though. Will update with any changes after they've gotten more wear.

I love these for walking in my garden after it rains - so much more fun than plain brown or green boots. True size. Easy on; easy off, easy to clean and pretty light weight too.

These boots are really cute! They look just like I expected and the footbed has plenty of room. Not to big not to narrow for an average foot. However I have large calves so was concerned about the width of the boot opening. The opening is wide enough for my calves with tall socks & no pants tucked in. They are the most comfortable worn this way. Tucking the pants is uncomfortable and doesn't look right. The pant tucking is only for those with small legs. When I bought them I was okay with not being able to tuck in my pants so I will be keeping these cute super comfy boots.

This boot was nice enough to look at but the sizes are not correct at all. The size 8 was closer to a size 9 1/2 or 10. Also, the print looked like it would get scratched easily. I returned these and got Sloggers instead. They are true to size and the colors are brilliant and go all the way thru the rubber instead of looking like they were painted on the boot. Also...Sloggers are made in the USA.

The company that I purchased these from were very nice and there was no problem returning the boots. I also got my credit in a timely fashion. As always it's a joy to deal with Amazon and their suppliers.

Bought these boots for my daughter to take away to school with her. When she came home the boots had split and both sides and the heel is coming away from the boot (right). She has not had these boots for a year.

I purchased these for my artist wife and presented them on the dining room table as vases with iris. What a hit! And, they work as boots too. They are very well made with sturdy soles. She asked her mom if she should bring them to Houston on a visit and her mom (also an artist) suggested she buy another pair to use as boots. She was serious.

I have wide feet, so I usually wear an 8, but I ordered a 7, and they fit fine. I was able to put a pair of orthodics in as well. They're not extremely comfortable, but by no means uncomfortable.
I bought these about 8 months ago after my first pair from Costco began to split. I bought them in March but didn't use them at all from mid-May to September. So, they've really only had about 5 months of use. This has been a very wet season for central PA, and they have gotten quite a bit of use on a college campus. The seam along the back of the left boot split, through the rubber strip covering it. The strip on the back of the right boot is falling off. Both boots have cracks in on the sides, causing my feet to get wet, which defeats the purpose of rain boots. I am now wearing them with duct tape on them, because I don't feel like spending the money to buy new boots so soon. I suppose that when I do eventually buy new boots, I should buy more expensive ones that will last more than one semester. You do a lot of walking in the rain in college.

I ordered these rainboots, and they came 5 days early! They are beautiful and sooooo cute! I was worried about the sizes, but my tennis shoe size is 8 1/2, so I ordered and 8 and they fit perfectly! I haven't gotten to wear them out yet, but I can't wait until I do. These boots are definetly a five star pair of boots! Definetly a great purchase! Hope this helped!

These boots are just beautiful! Colorful and well made. The only problem is that they run really large. I wear an 8 1/2 normally and since these come in whole sizes, I ordered a 9. Even with thick socks, they were just too big. I returned them, will buy them in an 8 and hope that they are not too small.

i recently recived these boots and they fit very well. i have larger calves but i was able to roll them down and they still fit great. i have worn them out in the rain and walked through puddles many time, and my feet have stayed dry. after a little breaking in like any shoe they become more comfterbal. very happy with these boots.
