These boots are very durable. You wouldn't know they were waterproof without the symbol as with most leather waterproof boots tend to be of harder leather. The insole in the boot makes it very comfortable.  The heel height is just right for people that don't want a high heel but would like some height.  These can be worn with skinny jeans and a nice boho dress.  Very versatile.  You won't be disappointed. For a pull on boot for me, there is just enough room to get them on and off without a problem.  I could see if you have larger calf muscles you might have a problem as well as if you have smaller calf muscles.  I got the Artisan Gold which resembles a rust/orange color.  Looks just like the picture.
