Chooka Women's Waterproof Plush Chelsea Bootie Review

I waited a few months to make sure these boots were as awesome as they initially appeared. I wanted a pair of shoes I could just throw on no matter what the conditions were outside - from sunshine to snow - socks/nosocks - and run out the door. Bonus - look semicute. Additionally I was really looking for a camping shoe. We do a lot of backcountry camping but base out of our SUV. We go all times of year so having to shove shoes on for those middle of the night bathroom breaks hasn't been so much fun. We just finished up a 4-day trip in the middle of nowhere and I feel safe to say these boots are in fact awesome. The way that they are made it's just very easy to slide your foot in. So, we covered potty breaks but we hit so much more. I wore them as my "crusing" shoes since they were easy to take off/on. I wore them on the the hey, let's check out that trail! Amazingly, they actually stay put very well. I use them around the house to hike with the dog in the adjacent Park and they're completely suitable for hills and mud. Or chasing the mail man.I cannot express how comfortable these boots are. Especially after a few months of wear and breaking in. I have to admit I found the padding weird at first. Not bad, just weird. The heel is extra padded. Almost is a heel within a heel. Not sure how else to explain it other than if you don't like shoes with ample heel padding, avoid them. I'm really not sure why that is. The whole bottom is very padded. But that section is extra. BUT over the couple months of wearing them it has flattened out and feels more natural now. But it is still "cushy" padded.I wear them with socks, thick socks, thin socks, or no socks. It really doesn't much matter and that's awesome. It is certainly nice to have that option. I am almost always a size 6 but sometimes a 5.5. The six fits me just fine but if it was any larger, I'd probably have issues. They're definitely not a summer boot but I can't really think of too many things that are. The padding is warm but it is not so excessive that I would consider this a winter shoe. Or to rephrases, we're travelling to the White Mountains in a few weeks and these will be coming. For me, it these will be a purpose boot. I will definitely be wearing them this Summer especially in rainy weather. As I mentioned, getting around in these things is great. It's cushioned four-wheel drive. Whether you were running into the store or up the side of a mountain, they work! I feel it's an amazing bargain for the price. They are excellent in rain and mud and about everything the outdoors could throw at you. I also find them to be terribly cute with jeans rolled up. The longer I have these the more I end up wearing them. If you are looking for a casual, deal with anything, tough booty, this is it. I guess one final protip, I saw these come up as a return for such a good price after I already had them. I was in too deep but if you are interested and can wait for them to come up in your size, you might get a real steal. Then again, if your shoe patience is like me, you probably won't be able to wait and really, even at regular, it is worth it! Kick stuff, take names!

I’ve had Chooka boots in the past, but they were the cheaper version. This boot however comes with a recoverable insert with arch support & the option to remove it. The insole is lined as well as the insert so regardless of how you wear it, you will still get that warmth! I bought the Amazon second hand version of these and they came in brand new condition for half the price! 10/10. They also feel much sturdier than the cheaper version. I typically wear a 7.5 in shoes and sized up to an 8 and they fit almost perfectly, with enough room for a thicker sock but if I would have sized down they would be too tight. These boots are super comfortable and slip on and off easily, but stay in place while you are walking. Which I needed for my job as I am in and out of peoples homes throughout the day, but needed a boot that would keep my feet warm and dry in the winter.

Love the rain boots they are warm and comfy. The only problem is that although they have traction it’s slippery on a smooth floor. You need to be careful I almost slipped and fell

Warm and comfortable. Runs a little big so a half size down would be good.

This is a very comfortable boot. Easy to slip on and off. I wear it in the rain and snow in Oregon and my daughter wears it on her farm on Maui!

These boots are super comfy and have a nicer look than a typical rain boot so I wore them more often and even to work on rainy days. They are really easy on and off. Maybe I wore them too much but after a year they were no longer water tight. Since it had been a year I bought another pair but this pair only made it 10 mos. I live in the Pacific NW and need to walk my dog in all weather so I’m going to look for a different brand. Maybe the price = 1 year. They are affordable.

I love these! They come with insoles which were a blessing for my arched feet. They’re super comfortable for all day wear and keep my feet warm and dry. They look like normal boots too so they’re good for any occasion.

I ordered these rain boots for convenience really. Easy to slip on & off. Fuzzy interior (super comfy!) and something that could be easily cleaned. I have to park in a muddy gravel lot for my kindergartner to drop off and pick up every day. Ohio weather…anyway the mud situation after rain or snow alone was frustrating and I needed something to get me from the lot to building and back. These did the trick! I wear them daily for school pickup and they have been a lifesaver. Let’s just hope next year our new school building has a kiddo pickup drop off system that doesn’t require parking. But the lot will be new too so regardless, these boots will become my new outdoor/gardening boots when fall & winter seasons roll back around :) Basically, I love these and wear them all the time right now!
