Best Snow / Rain Boots I've Ever Owned. Waterproof. Comfortable. Cute!
Experience with use:
I live in northern Japan where winters are harsh. The snow on the edges of my driveway is about 4ft deep and even deeper in the drifts. I did a lot of research before buying them because I needed something that would _work_.
Quality/Description:
These boots are just as advertised waterproof. I have stood in deep snow digging out my car and shoveling and my feet and jeans stay dry. These are just about knee-high and the edges are made from a fabric that feels like a SCUBA wetsuit.
Not only are they very practical they are _very cute_ and I receive compliments on them wherever I go.
I love the handles on the boots which make them easy to take off and slip on especially as we're always taking our shoes off here in restaurants and whatnot.
Fit:
My regular shoe size is a 7.5 and the pair I bought were 8s. With a thick pair of winter socks which is what I'd expect to wear in boots anyway they fit perfectly. I have worn them for hours on end and they are very comfortable.
Cons:
Because the sides are stretchy the only two minor things I don't like is that if I tuck in my straight-legged jeans they look a little bulky under the boot fabric. However with tapered-leg "skinny" jeans this wouldn't be an issue. The back heel is made from the same material as the front of the boot - I wish the harder heel material came up a little higher - closer to the ankle. I have feeling if I wore _thinner_ socks the heel could chafe and become annoying.
Overall:
Highly recommended. Considering buying another pair in a shorter boot for days that aren't as snowy. Out of all the winter boots I've owned these stand up to snowy weather the best.More detail ...
