Having just moved to NYC, I have been in the market for a nice pair of waterproof boots. I needed them to be comfy, stylish, and warm, with a nice grip for rainy/snowy conditions. After reading all the positive reviews, I decided to splurge on these bad boys. Although, I was really disappointed when I received them.  They're quite wide, so great for wide widths, and the calf was very roomy, but they were just really manly looking.  Not at all feminine. I'm sure they're great for those needing to work in muddy or wet conditions, but I just felt they looked like a man's work boot or something. I would like to try maybe a shorter Boggs boot with a more feminine design.  I could tell the quality was top notch, just not the design. Back they go! Also, I ordered my usual size 9 and they were the right fit. Happy searching!
