The molded EVA midsole contributes to the lightweight feel, ensuring you won't feel weighed down.

Warmth
Loved the look of the boot. Purchased my normal size. When they arrived, after taking out all the cardboard filling in the boot, I tried slipping my foot into it. The strap around the ankle is not flexible, so you can't expand the opening to get your foot in. My foot wouldn't even clear the opening. I could not get it in.So I returned this pair and bought the same pair, same size at a department store, and they fit perfectly. Go figure!
My third pair! So comfy and quick to put on. Pretty waterproof but will get wet. Have held up to lots of wear. You’ll love them!
Loved the color, fit, warmth and the stylish look.
No support
These checked all the boxes for me in the description - made by a brand I already love (Ryka), waterproof and ankle high. They fit fine (I wear a wide) and I had no problems putting them on, but the box itself clearly says “water repellent” - which is not the same as waterproof! Sadly, returned and I’ll keep looking.
These were exactly what I was looking for. Not heavy and size was true to size. Perfect to throw on to walk the dog in rain or snow.
