"I purchased these to wear to an outdoor music festival where it rained the whole day. My feet were dry and I did not slip in the mud pit that was created by the mix of rain and all the people. They were slightly long and slightly narrow but I have wide feet so I always go up a size to accommodate my wide feet. They don't breathe either because they are plastic but they keep your feet dry from the rain. I just hosed them off when I got home and they held up nicely. I would recommend these for anyone who wants a stylish pair of rain boots that are an edgier style than the typical rain boot style. Very Satisfied with the boots."
