Seriously! I purchased these boots thinking they'll be just oh-so-cute to wear with my red raincoats (yes, plural).  I am overjoyed to report now that I've had them for about six months (think I only wore them once with a coat), and all summer I have been doing intense garden work wearing them while weeding, landscaping, washing windows, pruning thorny bushes, I've had not one leak, not one tear, no discomfort.  They hose off perfectly clean afterwards, and dry in a snap to wear again.  I'm thoroughly tempted to buy another or two.  It's so satisfying to see something made so well and fitting within budget. I also wear an 8 and bought a 9 which fits with slide-in, no bump around comfort. I highly recommend these.
