I was surprised by the great quality of the Sloggers Women's waterproof rain boots.  First of all, I got compliments on how stylish the polka dots boots are.  I was headed to the mountains for a retreat and the forecast was snow and rain.  We don't get huge amounts of snow here... maybe 3-6".  I wore the boots in the snow and rain and they kept my feet completely dry.  The sole has a fabulous tread pattern than kept me from slipping in the wet.  I wore the boots with socks and they were very comfortable.  The boots are also great for gardening and wash off easily.  I noticed a little tab at the heel of the boots and figured out that you use this to push the boot off with the other foot.  Ingenious design feature.  No more bending over and pulling the boots off, you simply use your other foot to push the tab and the boot comes right off.  Love this feature.
