This is my second time purchasing the Tinsley rain boot. Its very inexpensive (compared to Hunter boots) and does the job. Well, the job if its in california since it barely rains here. However, because it is a bit low (just a bit above the ankles), water/rain does go in when its raining hard. This might be because my ankles are skinny as well. I do like their selection of colors. The neutral colors (black, grey, dark blue, olive) can be worn regularly and look like chelsea boots (kinda?). Love the sam edelman brand, and most of their shoes last for a few years.
