User Reviews
The reviews on here says size the shoes are too big but I have wide feet and large calf's. So these fit me perfectly. My legs can breath and they do not leave marks on my feet.The image is cute but when they arrived its better than I could imagine. The colors are bright and the look gives off Yesssss. Honestly the price and the look are actually in the same ball park I usually go by reviews on the product but forget that all that and went for these. I wish they had more colors.
Bought these for $12.5 for the rainy season in my city and was the best decision ever.They are not the most comfy rain boots but they are so, so, so cute and goes well with a lot of outfits. I get so many compliments wearing them and I have no problem walking on water puddles. I don't have to worry about them getting dirty because I can just wipe it clean! Love love love these rain boots.They make me hate the long and cold rainy season less.They do run somewhat large. I normally wear 7.5 and a 7 fits perfectly.
They're cute and I love that they're mostly opaque but my socks can just slightly tint them still! However, they're a bit big! I wear a size 7-7.5 usually depending on brand, so I was hoping the size 7 would fit fine, but it's still a bit wide and long on me! I think a size 6 might have been too small, though. :( None of the eyelets broke when I pulled the laces tightly like another review mentioned, in fact I'd say they were quite sturdy because I really tugged trying to tighten these boots as much as possible LOL (though the material gave a lot of resistance so they're still not as tight as they could be!!)They do have a bit of a factory smell but it really isn't too strong, I could smell it some when I was putting them on because my head was closer to them but it doesn't bother me or give me a headache personally. When standing I don't smell it at all and I doubt anyone else would either! I haven't officially worn them out in the rain yet, but I'm sure they're waterproof at least to the ankle- you can see in the video that I point out the small ridges the seal causes in the side of the boot!! Which is really the only part I dislike.I don't know if they're very comfortable yet, as I haven't worn them out walking or for extended periods of time! But I feel like they probably wouldn't give much support. I already bought some new insoles based off of other reviews, though, so it's not a problem for me!If I could get a size 6.5 I think they'd be perfect, really. I just don't know if a size 6 would fit!
The boots are adorable. I have wide feet and they accommodate my width. I'll stick my Superfeet in them to add extra support for walking and standing, but I'm 59 with a funky foot. Others may be fine with the boots the way they are constructed. I'll also wear boot socks, to absorb sweat (they are plastic) and protect my legs from any discomfort from the tops of the boots rubbing against my skin. Please note: if the wearer is in deep water, they will not be waterproof to the top of the boot, only to mid-laces, where the tongue and boot separate to allow the foot to enter the boot.
I'm a solid size 10 and ordered a 10, they run a bit small just enough for my big toe to turn up at the front of the boot, helps that they're a softer rubber that bends enough for them to be wearable but i can't imagine walking around in these all day without experiencing some discomfort. But overall they're not heavy or difficult to get on/off, they're so cute and I've gotten a few compliments on them ..plus I really needed rain boots!
But really off on the fit. Something you really need to try on in store. They were a good 2 sizes off of my normal.
They look cool but run large and aren't too comfortable. You need to wear high socks because the top of the boot rub on the back of your calfs. They're not bad for $20 or so but I'd be mad if I paid $50 lol
Purchased these to avoid "street meat" and other unmentionables for Mardi Gras this year - LOVE THEM - they are super cute - really glad I ordered a 9 - and surprisingly comfy - have been bouncing around in them today around the house and breaking them in. For the price point I cannot believe how comfy they are - the colors are good, will update review if they fall apart in NOLA or are not waterproof - but upon first glance - I'm diggin' them.
