Detailed Review
When it comes to footwear for wet conditions, the Chooka Damascus Mid Boot truly shines. They blend functionality and fashion seamlessly, making them ideal for women on the move. The glossy finish isn't just for aesthetics; it also simplifies cleaning. A quick wipe with a damp cloth can remove dirt and grime, ensuring your boots always look their best.
Comfort is another area where these boots excel. The removable 5mm memory foam insole provides plush cushioning, allowing you to stay on your feet longer without discomfort. This feature is particularly impressive when compared to other rain boots that often sacrifice comfort for waterproofing.
Additionally, the vulcanized construction ensures that these boots remain waterproof while maintaining breathability. This is essential in unpredictable weather, as it keeps your feet dry without causing overheating during mild temperatures.
On the downside, if you have broader calves, the shaft circumference of 14 inches might feel snug. While this design helps keep water out, it may not suit everyone’s preference. Furthermore, the glossy exterior can be prone to scuffing, requiring a bit of upkeep to maintain its pristine look.
Overall, the Chooka Damascus Mid Boot is a worthy investment for those seeking stylish yet functional rain boots. They fit perfectly into a busy lifestyle and provide the necessary support and protection for everyday adventures.

User Reviews
I really love the look and feel of this rain boot. I wear a size 8 and ordered that size and it fit perfectly. I have a 5 foot, you may want to go a half size up. There is enough room that you can wear a big sock, but snug enough that you can wear them barefoot too. This brand will last a long time. I’m on my second pair, and only threw out my first because they got a cut in them, nothing to do with the boot itself. I think I had them for five or six years before that happened.
Aside from running VERY small (I wear womens size 8 and ordered a 10. They fit, but prob wouldn’t with thick socks) they are very comfortable and cute!
I ordered these expecting rain on my NY trip. Bought one size bigger to fit a warm sock. Still too small.
They seem to be a great quality but they run very small. I ordered a 9 and they fit my daughter who wears a size 7. At least she will get to wear them.
If you have narrow feet this rain boot isn’t a bad investment, however for someone with wide feet like myself it was extremely snug and uncomfortable. Also, if you like a lot of room at the mid calf, then this boot is for you. I did not like how there was a lot of room for rain to get inside and soak my socks. Unfortunately, I am stuck with this item because I missed the return date.
I unfortunately did not wear these until after the return period but have discovered that the two boots are different. One is taller and has a narrow opening, the shorter one has a wider opening. They fit but it is odd.
I am normally a 9.5 and I ordered a 10 so I’d have room for thick socks and I couldn’t even get my barefoot in them. I’d say the size 10 fit more like size 8 which breaks my heart because they look really nice and the memory foam feels great too. Sadly returned these.
