my favorite part about these is that they're easy to clean. the slick shiny top can easily be wiped off and the tread is fine enough not to have chunks of mud stuck in it. they're fairly comfortable, i just wish they came in half sizes. i ordered an 8 and i'm an 8.5 so my toes are a little crowded, but a 9 would slip on my heel too much. it is great to finally find a waterproof shoe that isn't a clunky heavy boot.
