Great Rain Boot!

" I just got back from the store with a black pair of these rain boots. We get so much rain and flooding in the summer months in Miami I can't tell you how many shoes I soak and how many times I've walked through ankle high puddles on my way into the office! Anyway, regarding the boots...my first word of caution would be these have a terrible chemical smell!! Like spray paint. That's why I didn't give it 5 stars. I discovered a second pair that smelled A LOT less "chemically" (nearly 80% less smelly!). Seriously, the first pair smelled so bad you didn't even have to open the box to smell it. So if you're ordering online don't be surprised if when they arrive they stink. I'd advise buying in store so you can smell them first. (Although I will note, the coral ones did not smell like chemicals. Just a rubbery smell that I smelled with other brands of rain boots.). Regarding fit, I'm a size 8. These were slightly loose, like I could've probably gone to 7 1/2. But they don't have 1/2 sizes so I decided to stick with the 8's on the off chance that I ever have to wear them with thick socks (not in Miami obviously). I'm 5'5" and weigh 140lbs and have thick calves (no matter what I weigh so it's not a weight thing for me). These were perfect. Very easy to get off and on (unlike other, taller rain boots I tried on), even over my skinny jeans. Plenty of room in the calf and the straps are adjustable. I got the black which look real nice and don't draw a lot of attention like the brighter colors they offer (I saw the coral in person and it was very beautiful but not for me!). Overall a great rain boot! I highly recommend them. Hopefully once I air them out and wear them a bit the chemical smell will go away completely! "
