I loved these boots...until they started falling apart. I use them when it rains to walk about 60 feet to the chicken coop and back. Last weekend I felt my sock getting wet. I looked down and the rubber had split away from the black sole part. upon closer inspection that was not the only hole. there is some sort of inner reinforcment near the foot that the rubber cracked and opened up a hole on both boots and at the top of the ankle where the rubber flexes. Very dissapointed in the product. they were cute for sure but they fell apart after less than 3 months of use.
