These are very comfortable! I wasn't sure if they would be too hot in the summer, but they somehow breathe, yet keep feet dry. And they were warm in the winter; I'd slip them on and run out to the hen-house to let the Girls out. I like the way the tread provides traction, yet dirt doesn't cling to the inside of the grooves. They are so fun, too! I get mainly chuckles when I wear them. I was worried The Girls would peck at them (since they are so bright) but maybe Pepper recognizes her picture on the shoe!
