I gave these to my 16yr old daughter as she runs a nature themed camp with a stream in the summer and they were fantastic.  Easy to put on and off, comfortable and kept her feet dry.  She has had them for over a year and also uses them for other camps and when she is helping me outside.  Very versatile.  If it came in a more attractive color, she would wear them to school on rainy days too.  However, they aren't deemed cool enough.  But she secretly loves them.  So for those that aren't just fishing, there are other uses for them!
