These Boots are really nice and they do seem to keep the water out. I purchased them for about $ 10.00, I bought them to wear outside when it's raining and I walk my dog. With that said the only negative thing I have to say about them is the size runs smaller than normal. They are more like a "narrow size 10" so keep this in mind if you're ordering them, go up a size bigger, unfortunately for me 11's was the biggest size and that's what I wear.
