You wouldn't think it would be so difficult to find rain boots that do what they're supposed to do, but I've either had terrible luck or rain boots are just really poorly made in general. This was the fourth brand I tried and so far I am very happy with them.

These boots are cute, sort of low-cut (mid-calf, as opposed to knee-high) and very comfy. The sole has enough traction to make them wearable even in slick conditions. They are lined with fabric, so you get a bit of extra warmth instead of just rubber against your leg. They are easy to get on and off, but aren't huge like some rain boots I've seen. A word of warning to ladies with larger calves: these boots may not work for you. I am fairly small and they are relatively snug with socks on. A little extra room with tights, but not much, and there's no buckle or anything to provide additional size options.

Finally, although they are comfy, there's not really any arch support. There is plenty of room for an insert, however, so that's an easy fix.

Overall I love them. I got the red, and it's the perfect subdued red that it goes with almost anything I wear. I can walk through puddles and my feet remain DRY! And it seems they are recyclable, so even better. Highly recommended.
