"These boots nearly jumped off the rack at me! I'd come in looking for rain boots that were truly waterproof, comfortable, and didn't look like dirt-bike tires under my dress pants. These burgundy beauties are all that, plus, because they're real rubber, they keep my feet warmer than your average 'man-made-materials' boots.. Happy feet! The color is a refreshing "goes with everything" (that ISN'T Black), and the soles walk securely in the wet, too. Perhaps a quarter-size smaller than I'd prefer (the ankle did rub in front, but as another reviewer said, that eased off very quickly) so I have to unbuckle 'em every time, especially to put them on over hefty socks."
