I LOVE these shoes. They really are water proof! They are wide enough to easily slip on my foot without any hassles. They slip off easily at the front door too. The shoes are constructed well and should last a long time. The bottoms are thick rubber and have nice tread. I bought them to wear outside while I tend to my garden, walk the dog and take care of my chicken coop, I haven't slipped once in the mud nor have my feet gotten wet. Highly recommended!!
