I was hoping that in my long walk commute I wouldn't have to ruin anymore shoes and decided to embark on finding a PLAIN rain boot suitable for winter or summer...  This product really looked like a dream come true.  I read all the reviews and about the tight calves, and THEY ARE SPOT ON!  I felt like my circulation was being cut off, and on top of that, I had to have someone YANK them off of my feet.  I couldn't even get them off myself!  Buyer beware!
