"I live in Oregon, so I really needed some rain boots for this fall/winter! I LOVE anything sparkly, especially black sparkly (classy glitter?!) and these boots are that: classy and glittery all at once. I would wear these to schools (I'm an art teacher) and still feel like they would fit with my professional-casual outfits. I wear an 8.5 and I ordered these in 8 and they fit perfectly. Go a half size down from what you normally wear. These are great quality. Love them!"
